What about Samsung's netbooks ?

I'd like to have some info about the netbook line of Samsung.
In particular I'm interested into know keyboard and display quality and if or not under these aspects the samsung are preferable respect Asus (1005).

thks.

 

Samsung is the best company.I have used Samsung N140.It has the challenging task of being the official successor to the NC10 in Samsung netbook range.There are many facility in this netbook.

 

I've had an NC20 for a few months and like the keyboard, screen, battery life it has.

 

Samsung makes good and not so good netbooks. You'll have to look at individual reviews to find out which ones are good.

Notebookjournal.de makes excellent reviews.

 

Also see Trusted Reviews who have looked at most of the Samsung netbooks.

I am the owner of an N140 and it is really nice ... but the keys could be a bit small if you have thicker fingers. The display beats any high range ultraportable laptop for me ... by a maile. Of only they could make these fantastic bright but matte displays for let's say 12 inch models ... I have mine with 2 GB RAM and for normal office work etc no problem. I wish it had come with XP instead of Windows 7 Starter but it's fine. It's SUPER silent even under load ... battery some 7 hours without really trying. MY wife has my NC10 I had before this one. The big improvement on teh N140 is sound, the speaker are more than adequate for VOIP Skype calls, and even movies though a bit tinny. Also it is plenty loud for a netbook. No heat issues at all for me. the NC10 also runs very cool. This one weighs less than NC10. The NC10 has a few more horizontal lines because of the 16/10. The 140 is 16/9 which is better movie watching ... I may try and buy the N150 and see how I go. I find these netbooks great quality for money... I had a Lenovo X200s which was faster obviously but had a really crap screen ... horrible, I returned it ... that bad.

 

Samsung netbooks are usually very good quality and run very cool and quiet.

One thing i did not like was the touchpad left/right button being one piece and not two separate buttons, and was it was slightly recessed and felt cheap and was not very responsive.
