The Samsung N130 is another addition to the netbook portfolio, sporting Windows 7 starter and an intel atom processor.

The Samsung N130 netbook is a great little netbook for the price you pay, and the power that it delivers. Firstly this is a netbook so it can’t compete with a laptop or PC which is obvious, but does what it says: it’s a NETbook. Browsing the net on this netbook is quick with a fast internet connection, from browsing to downloading. This includes email, facebook, shopping and even youtube. Can work with multiple windows open though can slow if sites have a lot of java script. Would highly recommend upgrading an extra gig of ram, but this is up to you and is very simple to do. Playback is good ... more

a fab netbook= I got myself a Samsung N130 when my desktop was infor repair as I needed constant access to my email account. It's proved to be a really good buy! I still use the desktop for big pieces of work, but for personal browsing - shopping and chatting to friends - I use the netbook. It's quick to turn on and off and has a decent battery life (a couple of hours) so you don't have to sit there with wires trailing the floor. The screen is compact, but clear and the keyboard is not too pokey - even for my fat fingers! It's also nice and lightweight too (1.2kg approx)so ideal for ... more
