The new N150 netbook from Samsung furthers the Korean Manufacturer’s reputation for quality and good design in a neat package that looks good and with a scratch resistant and durable cover will stay looking good.
Like most standard 10-inch netbooks the Samsung employs the Atom processor, has 1GB of memory and 160GB of storage – but unlike many other netbooks the Samsung will keep going when many others are searching for somewhere to plug-in a charger thanks to its battery which can last up to 8 hours between top-ups.
Since they came on to the market 2 years ago with the NC10 and the N130, Samsung have consistently been one of the best selling and most highly rated of all mini notebooks and it’s likely the N150 will continue this tradition.

Reviews
LaptopMag rated the N150 for its attractive design, quality keyboard with a solid responsive feel, glare free screen and excellent sound quality. They didn’t like the touch-pad and mouse buttons and or the way that an external memory card protrudes when inserted.
Cnet liked the matte screen and long battery life but found the keyboard cramped and were disappointed with the size of the hard drive – they scored it 3.5 out of 5
Computer Shopper rated the design, quick start-up and battery life. They didn’t like the keyboard but rated it overall 8.1 out of 10.
