It takes some time for the initial set up but I usually spend a day or two to set up a new computer and install programs I need so I do not have much complain about it.
The screen is small and the resolution could have been higher. Some programs like MSN messanger, if you make some adjustments in the preference, you can barely get to the OK button if you pull the window all the way to the top to see only the top 1/5 of the buttons located at the bottom of the windows. There were a couple of other programs like that. Most other programs were ok. I still like the fact that it is compact and easy to carry around compared to my laptop I got in December 2009(Samsung R620-64G, not available from Amazon anymore but still sold online on Bestbuy’s website)
The biggest complain I have is the 30 day price guarantee policy with Amazon. They do not offer any since 2008. I ordered this computer on April 1st at $329 and it was delivered on the 6th. The price dropped by $20.
My biggest mistake was that I just ordered it from Amazon as I was accustomed to buying stuff from Amazon than any other online merchants. However, nowadays, you could find better prices elsewhere. Some other places has it about $10 or more cheaper than Amazon’s price. I wanted to return the computer unopened when I saw the price dropped but then Amazon would charge me for the shipping so no advantage on me whatsoever.
I am sure Amazon sells a lot of products and make huge money but not offering any kind of price guarantee will eventually hurt them. It has to.
Do your research on the price before you buy anything on Amazon.
Now, all the ones that came out first (blue, black,red) are priced at $309 and the ones came out a little after (pink, yellow, cyan) are priced at $319. But for a day or two, all models were priced at $309 and then on Saturday or Sunday last week, they raised the price of those three models by $10. I wonder what’s up with their price.
I read a news article that netbook prices dropped due to the iPad. I strongly believe that netbooks are way more practical than the iPad. No matter how fancy iPads are, it can never be as versatile as a computer.
Ultrathin laptops will eventually have an option that you can detach the screen and take the screen like an iPad. That will kill the iPad. Much of the iPad is essentially the same as the iPod Touch but larger. I wonder why the price is so high as I assume the product development cost wasn’t that high compared to the original iPod Touch or the original iPhone.
Lastly, the netbook manufacturers should offer 2gb ram option so that we do not waste money and materials on the 1gb ram. It is not environment friendly when pretty much over 50% of buyers are upgrading their ram.
Oh, one more thing. Why did they remove the bluetooth feature on the n150 when it is still available on the models sold in Korea? I know that the price there is about $100 more expensive than the US but still it would be nice to have. N150 sold in Korea only come in Windows XP too which makes the system run faster and it might not require the memory upgrade as much as it does here in the US market with Windows 7 Starter.
And I just found out that the 2gb memory I ordered yesterday (Crucial Technology CT25664AC800 2GB 200-pin SODIMM DDR2 PC2-6400 Memory Modul)was 4 dollars cheaper than what they have today. Now it is sold at $54.99. I guess they saw a strong netbook demand with the price drop and disappointing iPad.
BTW, I am not so against Apple products. They are good but I tend to wait till I can accept the price I pay and the quality I expect from the product matches. That is why I still have not bought an iPhone even though I like it. I think there is room to improve especially with 1. the ability to change the battery on my own, 2. Battery life, 3. LED screen.
The biggest drawback with the apple products is that they cannot play AVI files as is which made me to go with Cowon S9.

The main reason I became interested in this product is that I absolutely must have a non-glossy display, and this is one of the few models out there advertising this. Unfortunately — there is a thin highly reflective strip around the edge of the display — that will spike light into your eyes and interfere with viewing if there are many lights in the room. I don’t understand why they needed to do this — matte means MATTE — EVERYWHERE. Similar problems exist on other so-called ‘matte’ netbooks — most notably the HP mini — which has a very wide black shiny band around the display that totally defeats the purpose of having a matte finish on the display. Ditto the matte asus netbooks. Manufacturers, we are STILL WAITING For a fully matte netbook display — which includes the display and also the framing surfaces around the display!

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.)

My tired old computer finally died a slow agnonizing death after my son loaded one of his video games on to it. He has a new Mac Book Pro that I’ve been using in the meantime, and have become spoiled by. I couldn’t afford an IMac, (what I really want) right now, so I bought this little thing to get me by until I can afford one. What a huuuuuge difference! As far as the netbook goes, it’s probably better than what I expected. I like how small and light it is, and the battery last a long time. What I really find annoying though is having to use Windows again. It’s a non stop procession of updates and prompts trying to sell me an upgrade for everything. With the Mac, you turn it on and use it, no b***s**t involved. I have sworn that this is absolutely the last PC I will ever buy. But back to the netbook, if you want something really light and compact just to go on the net and for emails and minor stuff, this will work great. My wife thinks it’s cute so I’m giving it to her.
P.S.
The speakers stopped working within the first week. Now I have to send it back to Samsung. What a pain in the A**.

I am a college teacher, and I bought this netbook for several reasons:
1. Non-glare screen, so that I can work comfortably outside
2. Lightweight, easy to transport
3. Long battery life so I can leave the cord at home
This netbook has met and exceeded my expectations in each of these categories. I love the non-glare screen, the computer is so lightweight, and the battery life has not disappointed me. The set-up (although time-consuming) was easy to do, and I am surprised how much I like Windows 7 (I have found that the starter edition is more than adequate for my needs). All-in-all this is a great little netbook; I’m very very pleased with it.
