Excellent battery life
When comparing netbooks in the $ 300 price range, the main difference is the battery life. It has a great range of up to 8 hours. Use on a plane with people with disabilities wireless, screen dimmed to 25% while reading an ebook and listen to music (headphones) you can expect about 7hrs of battery time. Watch videos etc. does it take about 6 hours.On the downside, it is not the thinnest netbook in the market. Light – yes, thin – not really. The general atmosphere is correct, it might be easier to open the lid. The rugged exterior may be large to prevent scratches and fingerprints, but also kind of looks less elegant (which I do not keep too well). I do not really like the touchpad, but it’s not really bad either: The buttons are difficult to locate with your fingers, roll-zone is a little too wide and you can not really feel the end / border the pad.
The screen is very good, the power cable / adapter is not too large. The power button could have been designed a little better, but again – no big deal. His helmet is not as bad as you’d expect from a netbook, but I do not think the competing models are better there.
I did upgrade the netbook with 2GB of DDR2 RAM, which is a great investment you should consider, especially if you take the Windows Starter Edition. You do not lose your warranty if you do. Replacing the hard drive: Do not do it, you lose your warranty and there is no easy way to access the drive (at least I have not seen).
A word about installing Windows Home / Professional / Ultimate:
There was no driver CD / DVD with the netbook. You need to download the drivers from the Samsung page (on this note an important piece of advice: There are two W-Lan Driver NB30 in the series pilot, try the Atheros Wireless driver, but there may be a different material in different Copies of this netbook).
Installation with a USB flash drive: Google for it. You should have 2 GB of RAM. And you should know what you do: Once deleted, I do not know if we would be able to restore Windows Starter Edition (which sucks, but you can work with him with a handful of limitations).
