I bought this netbook around 3 months ago from currys for 299.99, which for a samsung laptop is a good price. The screen is much larger than most of the other netbooks which are in the same price range, the processor is not light at 1.6 ghz but it is fast enough for browsing the internet, playing some old games and watching movies. Also 1 gig of ram really helps the speed, however i would not recommend installing vista.

The lid of the laptop is very shiny and produces a nice finish which you would expect from a Samsung laptop. Some of the features of the laptop are listed below:

3 Usb 2.0 ports
Vga connector
Headphones and Microphones connector
Ethernet
Wifi Inbuilt
Bluetooth Inbuilt
Sd card port
Kensington security connector
1.3 Megapixel webcam
4-6 hours battery life

The battery life being around 5-6 hours in power saving mode means that you can go a whole day without having to recharge. This makes the netbook very good for college of university students, coupled with the price makes it ideal.
The screen is excellent quality and is big enough to watch movies on the move.

However in order to keep this netbook so small Samsung have not included a cd or dvd drive with the laptop, therefore a external one is required if you want to watch dvd's or install some computer games.

My experience with this netbook has been very good, the keyboard is a nice size for a netbook, so you can easily update you blog on the move. Also inbuilt wifi means that you can connect to any free public hotspot. Also 3 usb ports means that you cna have you printer, camera and phone all plugged in at the same time.
Hotkeys are located along the F1 - F12 row, this means that rather than messing about going to control panel to increase volume, increase brightness or turn wireless on, you can simply press the Fn key and one of the specific buttons from F1 - F12.

    Rather than the list of specs it would have been more helpful to read about your experience of using them.
