Ever since Samsung introduced the N120 several months back, it has been one of the most heavily viewed netbooks on our site.
Computer Shopper gave the Samsung N120 its Editors’ Choice Award. Steve (our other Editor) uses an N120 as his personal netbook and he constantly raves about it.
That is because the N120 has so much to offer. While many of the features are common to other netbooks (like the 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, 6 Cell Battery…), there are a lot of things that make the N120 special.
Let’s start with battery life, which according to our visitors, is the most important feature they seek in a netbook. The N120 gets great battery life, around 6 hours in real-world use.
On top of that the N120 has a great, traditional-style keyboard, with full-size shift keys.
In black or white, the N120 looks great, is lightweight and thin. Best of all, the N120 is solidly built.
The deal?
The N120 typically retails for around $410 – $425. If you look hard, you might find one or two places where you can pick up an N120 for $399.
But, for a limited time, SuperBiiz has the N120 on sale for $379 with FREE shipping. To get this deal, you will need to use one of the links below and use coupon code SUMMER20 at checkout.

Windows 7 – Are you looking forward to it?
Posted by Steve Greer on May 11, 2009 in Netbook Market, Netbooks
Over the weekend we did an unboxing video of the Samsung N120. After the video I had a crazy thought…. Why not put Windows 7 RC1 on this thing. It is inevitable that Windows XP will soon go away and be replaced by Windows 7.
So my question to the readers is “Are you looking forward to using Windows 7?”
Loading ...I will have a video review of the Samsung N120 running on Windows 7 RC1 later this week and give you a glimpse into the near future.

We’ve done an in-depth video review of the Dell Inspiron Mini 12.
In addition to the typical review and commentary on features, we also include:
- A comparison of the thinness of the Mini 12 compared to a 9″ Acer Aspire One (at 1 minute 15 seconds).
- A side-by-side comparison of keyboards with the Samsung N120 (at 3 minutes 15 seconds)
- A comparison of overall size with the Acer Aspire One 9″, MSI Wind U100 and Samsung N120 (at 7 minutes 20 seconds)
Stay tuned. We’ll be publishing more videos soon.
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 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.
