Vicki gave this wonderful present on my birthday which was last Monday. The all new Samsung N150 ultraportable is an amazing notebook. It is very light and has a scratch-proof shiny surface. It has a non reflective screen and three inbuilt USB ports. It comes with a Primary hard drive of 250 GB, Graphics hardware Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150, 2 GB RAM , Intel Atom processor and Windows 7 Starter.
Windows 7 has some limitations. Starting up this netbook might take 10 or 15 seconds more than starting a regular laptop or desktop. Also you cannot change the wallpaper. I know this sounds irritating as we all like to personalize our desktop background. However Windows starter or XP is better suited for net-books otherwise if you upgrade the windows version the performance of your netbook can go really slow. I have heard some people complaining about the small keyboard and the touchpad. Well I don’t find much difficulty with these; I have adjusted well with keypad and the touchpad. And also I can run 3 or 4 applications at time without any trouble.
Oh yes and I forgot to mention about the battery backup. Vicki is really envying my Astro for its amazing battery life which can run up to 5 hours when fully charged.
Overall Samsung N150 is a good buy if you are looking for something reasonable, handy and long lasting battery.
