Unboxing the Samsung N120

Posted by Steve Greer on May 10, 2009 in Netbook Market, Netbooks, Samsung Netbooks

Our new Samsung N120 has finally arrived.  We finally got a chance to put our hands on this hot little netbook. 

My first impression after the unboxing was wow!  I’ve used the Samsung NC10 for about 5 months now and I know the changes were small, but the little improvements make this netbook the true successor of the NC10.

The keyboard size is only 4% bigger, but it is very noticeable.  The changes to the touch pad and the raised rocker bar were much needed. 

Check out the video and let us know what you think?

Samsung N310 now available.

Sammynetbook has reported that he has received his new Black N310 netbook.  He comments on how the quality of the netbook is top notch.  Other impressions are that the keyboard is one of the best he has run across.

Samsung has changed the look and feel of their netbook lineup with the N310.  If you read my article that I posted earlier in the week you will see some of the differences between the N110, NC10, and N120.

The netbook has only been released in the UK and Korea at the moment. Look for it to start shipping to the US sometime in the near future!

Samsung N120 Recieves 9 out of 10 stars.

Posted by Steve Greer on May 7, 2009 in Netbooks, Samsung Netbooks

Computer Shopper gives the new Samsung N120 9 out of 10 stars, and has awarded the N120 Editors’ Choice.

Computer Shopper states:

Overall, the N120 is one of the most-comfortable, least-compromising 10-inch Netbooks we’ve tested so far. Its full-size keyboard is a pleasure to type on, its quality audio makes it an excellent source of hotel-room entertainment, and its stellar battery life means you can get plenty of use from it on the go.

The Samsung N120 has hit the shelves this week and has shown to be a very successful product for Samsung.  So successful that Amazon has put it on their top 20 best selling Netbook list.

Samsung’s new lineup of Netbooks – N110, N120, and N310.

Posted by Steve Greer on May 5, 2009 in Netbook Market, Netbooks, Samsung Netbooks

April was a big month for Samsung.  Samsung announced the N310 Netbook and released the N110, N120, and NC20.

After the success of the NC10, which is one of my favorite netbooks on the market, Samsung has followed up with the N110 and N120 which are very similar to the Samsung NC10.

I’ve posted information on the N110, N120, and N310 netbooks below.  Click through the tabs and look at each model.  While they are all very similar, there are a few significant differences between the models.
