 Light and Handy June 25, 2010
Daphne Gerig (Washington, DC)
Thieves broke into my house and stole my old Samsung netbook so I bought a new one. This model seemed lighter and I liked the matte finish on the cover. The keyboard has a nice touch when typing; keys don't stick or make clicking sounds. The touchpad confused me with some advanced touch commands (I unknowingly would increase the font) but I got accustomed quickly. The battery has good life in it and the small size fits easily in my bag. All the programs work efficiently and seamlessly, and it connects to my wireless very quickly. I got a Logitech cordless mouse and it made life a lot easier. This is a great computer for basic stuff on the go.
Solid Netbook, although not a fan of Windows 7 June 20, 2010
Jeremy Epstein (Fairfax, VA United States)
I bought this as a replacement for an Asus Eee netbook I bought a year ago, which was so horribly slow as to be unusable. This is a relatively fast box, with a reasonably good keyboard, although too small to touch-type. Wireless connects quickly, which is always a plus. The one thing that drives me crazy (which is not Samsung's fault) is the Windows 7 task bar takes a relatively large fraction of the screen real estate, and so far I haven't been able to figure out how to make it go away (unlike in Windows XP where you can let it auto-hide when not in use).
10.1" Netbook June 13, 2010
M. Novak (Illinois)
I received this product as promised. If you are used to the rapid speed of a desktop, I would recommend getting the added RAM; I did and it still lags, but is much faster than without the 2GB of RAM.
I have used it on the road and am very pleased with its portability and light weight. Excellent product. I purchased based on the high rating of Consumer Reports in their rating of netbooks. Excellent recommendation.
 Nice laptop - but underpowered June 8, 2010

I read many reviews on-line for the netbook of choice. This one seemed to be 'the one' for my needs. Once I got through the very long self install process the device behaved OK but slow. Swapping out the 1Gb memory for 2Gb was quick and easy and improved performance noticeably but still it lacked adequate response times. Various searches on windows 7 performance boost etc showed me what I could disable and made further improvements.
So now I've uninstalled the clunky fat-ware that comes with the gadget, paid for the extra RAM, tuned windows to run only what's absolutely needed - toned down the graphics. The device can just about play video and surfing is 'OK' when using Chrome - IE was just too slow.
Samsung's own back up and driver download software seems to do a reasonable job and have a full system snap shot to recover to was useful when I broke something during the system tweaking.
So all this is shame since the physical part of the laptop is great, the matte screen, the keyboard are all good. The mouse is a little fiddly but OK. Oh, but the power slider is a pain - opening the laptop windows wont auto-resume and having to fumble the front slider power switch is bad next to having a proper button.
Experiments with Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix were all successful. SD card, wifi, sound all work well. (there was some BIOS fiddling to get the gadget to boot from USB) haven't got as far as attempting dual boot.
So all in all a great little laptop that ultimately disappointments due to low CPU performance. ( esp. if you lack the skills to remove tweak windows and uninstall the unwanted extra software.)
