Samsung Netbook N140

The Samsung Netbook is the latest 10" netbook. Its a direct replacement for the original NC10 Samsung netbook. It improves on that in a number of ways. It has better sound quality, bigger touch pad, better processor and a better operating system with Windows 7 Startup. It is very similar in design to the NC10 and has the same battery and screen resolution as before.

One of the advantages of this netbook is that it has a great matt display. The screen is very bright and you should have no problems using this outdoors. The text is not sharp however you do get used to it. The matt display though is not usually found in netbooks and is much better than a glossy display. Another great thing to mention is that it is very quiet. Sometimes you may wonder if it even has a fan. This is one of the quietest netbooks I have used and this lack of noise is very impressive.

The touchpad is and ideal size and it has multi touch scrolling. It isn't too noisy and has a nice texture. There is nothing at fault with the keyboard. It is a standard keyboard which takes the up the full width of the netbook and this ensures that the keys are large. The audio quality is good and it has stereo speakers and SRS technology. Sound comes from the bottom and the volume is decent.

One of the disadvantages is that the lid has a glossy finish and picks up too many fingerprints. The battery life isn't too good compared to the other netbooks out in the market. The 5200 mamp battery lasted for about 5 hours when used at 60% brightness and just web browsing and watching youtube videos. There is only one slot for RAM so if you want to upgrade you will have to open up the machine.

The  netbook comes with windows 7 startup. There a few restrictions on this operating system but it is ideal for a netbook. Overall this Samsung netbook is good for doing work on the go.
