User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Even better than I expected
This netbook may cost a bit more than some, but it is worth it. I love everything about it except the touch pad, and I hate all touch pads. I opted to buy a $40 Bluetooth mouse because the Samsung had built-in Bluetooth capability. The mouse worked immediately and it is great not to use one of the three USB ports (two more than some netbooks) with a wireless receiver or a cord in the case of cheap mice.

All the software I have works after copying installation software CDs to memory sticks. I doubt that I will need an external CD/DVD reader/writer. In an attempt to hold down software costs, I discovered Sun Microsystems OpenOffice. It’s free and compatible with MS Office documents. I also downloaded free viewers of MS documents from the Microsoft web site.

The 160-gig hard drive seemed much larger than I needed, so I was happy to let Samsung partition it into two, copying the C: drive I use all the time to the D: drive as a checkpoint should disaster strike. Upon request Samsung’s software copies D: to C: to return your machine to its state when you last took a checkpoint.

I did not think the battery would drive the device as long as advertised, because battery life is usually an issue with laptops. But in this case it does. The battery-percent-remaining icon on the task bar makes it easy to see how close to “empty” you are.

The sound is “tinny” from the built-in speakers, but quite good through headphones. The built-in camera seems more like a toy, but it may appeal to some.

In short: if you’re considering a netbook, go with this one. I can’t imagine what more you’d want especially if you live in California (no sales tax–free shipping too!).

5 Stars Very good netbook for Internet, MS Office and Multimedia with excellent battery life
I purchased Samsung N110 almost the same week it was released. I was considering a Dell or Asus model. I had doubts as Samsung wasn’t really an active brand in laptop market, but Samsung did just fine in Netbook market.

After reading many reviews, I got the idea that this laptop had distinctive battery, made of good quality material and has the looks.

After using the laptop for quiet a while, I can only add some more. Like many netbooks, the battery life is excellent. I use with all the works on, still I easily see over 7 hours straight battery life. The keyboard is in decent size and screen is just fine. I can use the netbook outdoors in a sunny day with sunglass and it’s ok. I had seen better screen performance (and worst) but definitely you get more than what you pay for.

Wireless connection (the quality and range) had never been a problem. Speed of the processor is decent. I purchased this netbook to use in day to day life, as a road warrior. I needed good battery life, MS Office applications, internet and media and I’m very satisfied with the purchase.

The cover is in color jetblack and is a finger print magnet, but it doesn’t really bother me. The cover can get scratched easily if you don’t take care. I purchased a sleeve which works just fine. Like all 10.1 laptops, the touchpad is small. You may prefer to carry a mouse but you can get used to the small pad. It just takes sometime. You can choose a mouse with bluetooth connection, as bluetooth is available in this model.

For me, battery life was crucial in choosing this model. Even for small laptops which weight light, carrying a charger everywhere and need to carry a case was a hassle. Now,I only carry this laptop in its small sleeve and a mouse sometimes, if I need. Very portable.

Laptop heating is excellent, never bothers. Operates very silent.

One of the shoes felt of aftert he first week, and it kinda bothers to use like that. Luckly I found a replacement. Watch the shoes, they may need to be glued for long term usage. Funny thing is, I cannot think of anything negative about Samsung N110 except it’s shoes.

Shortly, I would strongly recommend this product if what you are looking for is a netbook.

5 Stars Great Little Netbook
I’ve had my netbook for almost 2 weeks now and couldn’t be happier with it. Prior to that I had used a Toshiba laptop and an HP mini netbook. Both of those units were great and I originally got the HP because my husband took the laptop to his office. My complaint with the HP and my reason for getting the Samsung was that an 8.9 in. screen was just too small for my 53-year old eyes. It is amazing what a difference the larger screen made. I chose this model based on customer reviews and so far, they’ve been right on the money so there is no need for me to repeat everything they have already mentioned. So far I’m using it for web surfing, e-mail and word processing. As far as the glossy finish and fingerprints, I’ve ordered a Gelaskin for it, which I also have on my Kindle. I’m a firm believer in the skin-type screen protectors for items such as cell phones, Ipods, etc. They are well worth the money!

5 Stars Love it!!
LOVE this little machine!!! If I could change one thing it would be that the speakers aren’t loud enough, but works great with a headphone. Started out with 9.5 hours in the battery saver mode. Managed to watch two long movies and sit through delay after delay at the airport and still had plenty of battery when I got to my destination! I will admit, the screen is very small for any major text work, but it handled all the windows without a hitch. I did upgrade it to 2g memory and that seemed to make all the difference. I would highly recommend this product to anyone! AND if fit perfectly in my purse!

4 Stars One of the best looking netbooks…
Seems that all netbooks are nearly the same hardware. At least in this class of them.

They all come with ~160gb hdd, 10.1 or 10.2″ screen (1024×586 or 1024×600) a 1.6ghz Atom processor and 1gb of ram.. They all have small keyboards, and decent battery life.

What this one does is look pretty. Glossy surface is sometimes hard to keep looking good (fingerprints…), but when it’s wiped clean, no other netbook looks as good as this one. It may not really be thinner than any others in this class, but it looks thinner because of the beveled edges on the back of the screen. It’s missing the Expresscard/34 that others have, but it makes up for it with the 3rd USB port.

Overall, very nice machine.
