I love this netbook … Worth it for someone who is clumsy!
First I bought a Samsung netbook ivory from the store a year ago. I can not remember the model but something similar to this one. But one day, I spilled a couple of teaspoons of water in it and the key has started malfunctioning. I also did not like the other models because it came with this program was really odd that a nuisance and I think it was called Hyper-thing. (Sorry if some details are fuzzy! Bought it a year ago and only had the other netbooks less than a week.) I quickly turned around and did a little research and I found the Samsung NB30. It is shock resistant up to 30 inches and also water resistant to something like 30cc as long as you wipe the liquid away.I love it. I got almost a year and it was great. No major problems. And I have no doubt that he fell and man-handled a bit. It is so light and easy to use. One of the things I particularly like this topic comes from having previously owned two laptops and two Dell laptops Acer is the screen and speakers. On my old notebooks that they all had a terrible problem of glare and I hated it. In addition, the newest Dell laptop I owned was the worst speakers. I could barely hear my music playing unless I used a helmet. My speaker phone was louder than the Dell! The NB30 has a great sound quality. And it comes with Windows 7 is wonderful compared to Windows Vista. It also has an SD slot that was useful and three USB ports.
Then one of the drawback is that this model is shock resistant for some reason the battery life is slightly lower than other comparable models from Samsung is 6.5 hours against seven hours. I wish the battery was as long as some Asus models, but the simple design and durability fully compensate for the lack of battery. In addition, the screen is a bit small. Some of my friends mentioned netbook users go for models with larger screens, but I was there for portability and durability. Finally, the streaming video on the NB30 is not great and I blame the Atom processor. (Almost all netbooks have this processor. You can not avoid it.) This processor is not the fastest but it is so light and uses the battery as little as one sacrifices the speed instead. To compensate for this, I upgraded the RAM to 2G. (It is only expandable to 2G. Shame!) Cost maybe $ 50 to upgrade. Prob less now. This helped a little. But the netbook is ideal for simple word processing, surfing the net, and make my presentations slideshow. I like the way the light is so I can easily take the class. It weighs less than most of my books and I often do not need the power cord which is handy because a lot of my three hours of classes are held in rooms without making easily accessible. I also bought an external CD player Samsung so I can use and burn CDs with my netbook. I have not used, but in the future.
