5.0 out of 5 stars I Love My Mango-Flavored Netbook, May 27, 2010

If you are going to buy a netbook within a certain price range ($300, $400, etc.), then you need to know they are all pretty much similar. The main differences would be customer service/reliability and if a particular item or company has known failure issues. Everything else is a personal preference - brand loyalty, brand recognition/reputation, availability, colors, etc.
You wouldn't buy it for how much faster or supposedly better it is than another. If you are, then you're in the wrong price range, and shouldn't get a netbook anyway.
So whether you choose a Samsung, an Asus, an Acer, an HP, or a Sony, don't worry, you would be getting all good computers.

So I chose this one mainly for this WowTastic yellow color.
You can go to my photos in the photos page and see for yourself.
What I love particularly with this netbook other than the color (I also have an Asus 1005PE in white), is a much better feeling keyboard that's a lot easier to type, and the matte screen which eliminates glare, which would be particularly advantageous for outdoor usage.

Performance wise it is like any other netbook - it's perfectly ok for emailing, surfing the net, etc.
I've tried using Photoshop CS5, and it's ok for the first several photos, and then it bogs down and you have to close up some photos or restart the program.
I've also tried using Vuze on it. Just downloading, it's perfectly fine for multi-tasking with another light program. But if you start converting videos, say for PS3 use, then it hogs up all the memory and you can't really run any other program.

The other exotic flavors from Samsung is a sky/baby blue color called Bermuda Blue Samsung N150 10.1-Inch Bermuda Blue Netbook and a Samsung N150 10.1-Inch Flamingo Pink Netbook, just an FYI. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Netbook - Love the color!, June 24, 2010

I purchased this product from Amazon approximately one week ago and as I sit here in the sunlight in my back yard when I decided I must review this product. I have purchased numerous products from Amazon, but this is the first I felt compelled to comment on. Over the years I have had many PCs and laptops - both personally and professionally and I must say that I am amazed at what Samsung has produced in this netbook. I had been searching for approximately 6-12 months for a netbook I could easily take with me. During this time I began reading reviews and more on all the different products out there until I happened upon this one. That was all it took reading all it had to offer for the price. Here is what I have found in the short time I have owned this product.

Pros: small; portable;lightweight; battery life IS 7 hrs long; non-glare screen (like my Kindle);quick for such a small machine; can easily upgrade the memory to 2G; speakers work extremely well for such a small unit; 3 USB ports, media card reader port, and such a great price for all you do get. I LOVE the color! I could go on and on.

The only con I have found is that I use Skype quite often and it runs low (states my wireless connection is "slow" and recommends plugging it in), but does extremely well when plugged in. This is a minor to me. If you are looking for PC power to do more advanced computing, then obviously this may not be what you are looking for. But that is why I have my PC sitting on my desk inside my home collecting dust right now while I am enjoying the sun.

Thank you Amazon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little machine, July 2, 2010

College Student (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Samsung N150 10.1-Inch Netbook (Caribbean Yellow) (Personal Computers)

I just got this little computer this weekend to bring to classes and around campus during the day, so I wouldn't have to haul my considerably heavier and more expensive 14.1 in gateway around. I love it! It does everything that I need from a netbook- internet, basic office stuff, music, etc. I wouldn't use it as a replacement for a desktop/laptop machine- its just to small screenwise to be typing those long late night papers on, but it works great for in class and stuff. Also, a huge bonus is the color- I love that its bright and fun, without being hot pink, which I feel would be a bit too much Elle Woods for me... Overall, I already love it!
