5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung Netbooks are the BEST!, March 3, 2010

HI,
Back in May of 2009, i purchased my first Samsung Netbook, the N120. I purchased it because of the keyboard size and alleged battery life. I have been happy with it ever since. Battery life is as advertised.

I needed to get a netbook for my wife, and after much shopping, i decided that the Samsung N150 would be a good choice.

Same Keyboard size ratio, great battery life, and some updated features
1. Windows 7 starter edition
2. Pinetrail Processor
3. Same great battery life

Samsung has also made some good improvements with the mousepad. You can scroll, pinch & zoom, and rotate all with the mousepad.

The updated design is similar to the older n120, but nicer.

They moved the power button down to the front which is ok.

one of the USB ports stays powered on to charge your phone or device even during hibernation.

Keyboard is the same spacing and size, but now they are using chiclet style keys. Seems good. My wife may give me more updates on this later.

So far, so good!

2.0 out of 5 stars Loud clicking noises from harddrive; bad battery life., April 28, 2010

Over the last 2 years I have cycled through netbooks about once every 4-6 months. Netbooks overall are a new concept and the technology's advancing quickly, so I buy a new one often to stay on top of the curve. Before buying this Samsung I used 2 Asus and a Toshiba netbook, all of which I liked a lot. I liked this Samsung because it looks great and the keyboard is wonderful. However, there were two bad things that made me return it after only 3 weeks of use. First, the Samsung netbook's battery life was sub par, getting only a few hours on full load (whereas my second Asus got about 8 hours!). Second, and more importantly, this Samsung's harddrive makes obnoxiously hard clicking noises when it is being accessed by the system. These clicks are loud enough that I could not use this in quiet environments without being severely annoyed. Go ahead and google some thing like "Samsung n150 harddrive clicking noises" and you'll see other people are having the same issue. So in the end, based on my experiences with numerous other netbooks, I have to give this Samsung only 2 out of 5 stars. I just isn't very good. Try an Asus instead!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great little computer, April 17, 2010

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

I ordered this computer last week and have been very happy with it. I use it for video chatting, internet, and word processing. The Windows 7 Starter is nice and it gives you Word for 60 days for free. The webcam is nice and does the job on skype. I picked this netbook over others because of the keyboard. The keys are a bit more separated than other netbooks which I loved. I've had no trouble typing at all. The computer picked up my wireless internet right off of the bat, better than my old laptop did. The battery life is awesome...I have to plug it in every couple of days but that's it. The screen does take a little getting use to as I've had to zoom in a few times to really see something when I'm online shopping, but I'd rather have that then be carrying around a huge heavy laptop with a shorter battery life.

Overall good for the price! I added a wireless mouse so that my kids can play games and I plan on buying a thumb drive because I don't want to load too much onto the computer. It moves a little slow, but I figure if I store my information somewhere else it should be fine.
