Rate Netbooks

The Samsung N120 is small netbook with a slightly boxy design. It has a 10 inch screen, a built in webcam, and three USB ports, all contained within a package that weighs just 2.8 pounds.

The N120’s price is a little higher  than some, but the performance and features are strong. There are two speakers on the computer, one on each side of the screen. The sound quality is strong for such a small device. It comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so if you have a Bluetooth printer then you can connect it to the computer without running any wires.

The N120 laptop has a larger keyboard than most mini laptops (stretching the entire width of the machine), which is somewhat wider than the 10 inch screen. The display is excellent. It strikes a good balance on level of gloss – producing the strong contrast of a glossy display without reflecting too much when outdoors. The computer has good battery life. If you’re continuously using the computer, it lasts about six hours. It comes pre-installed with Windows XP, which retains the familiar Windows environment without the performance hit Vista brings to notebooks. The computer comes with one gigabyte of RAM and uses the typical Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. Due to its relatively matte surface, the computer does not get scratched as easily as some laptops, and fingerprints don’t show up as much.

As of the time of this posting, Samsung’s N120 was just a little over $400 on Amazon, with eBay auctions coming in at slightly less. The computer is produced in both black and white.
