 More than I expected November 21, 2009
D. R. Dow (Rochester, MN)
Did not expect the machine to work as well as it did. Samsung has really thought out the design from a user's standpoint. The size of the screen is the weakest part of the experience. However Samsung predicted this and have built in some handy functions to mitigate the frustration that comes from moving from larger monitors to the smaller panel. The screen is very bright and can be used easily in direct sunlight without a problem. The graphics card is decent and can be hooked up to higher resolution monitors and TVs. The brightness range is more dramatic than the HP and Dell laptops I've had in the past. I can turn it up for viewing in direct sunlight, then turn it down for comfortable reading at night in the car.
The battery life if much better than expected. Timed it and I got about 10 hours of life (my Dell, Acer and HP laptops never came close to the published battery life). With an external (USB) high-end GPS receiver I got about 5 hours of continuous operation before the low battery warning would sound.
Never had a problem with lack of processor speed. Videos, and games work without hiccups or pauses.
My only complaint is the 'home' and 'end' key functions are difficult to use since you need to press the special function key with another. My opinion is that the 'home' and 'end' keys should be single key press keys. The 'page up' and 'page down' keys, that are less used, would be a better choice for the two key press scenario. After a few days of use I learned to not use the keys anymore.
Out in public I've received many comments/compliments on the machine. The white looks sharp.
Machine feels solid, durable. The mat finish feels good and is easy to grip and tote around.
All features (camera, wi-fi, etc) worked better than expected and without hiccups.
An unbelievable value for the price.
Amazing netbook, especially for students. November 19, 2009
Daniel J. Warren (Harrisonburg, VA USA)
I am a freshmen at James Madison University, and I purchased this Netbook over the summer. I admire the Battery Management Software on it, which allows you to switch between "Max battery life", "Normal", "Max Performance", and "Customized" at the standard XP bottom right toolbar.
I run the XP Home edition that it came with and use Open Office and Google Documents for all the documents, power points, and spreadsheets that I need. Open Office runs very well on the machine.
I also upgraded to a 2GB RAM upon purchase. I had read several reviews that suggested it, and the upgrade definitely made a noticeable difference (I ran it for ten or twenty minutes with just the 1GB RAM before installing the 2GB RAM). It is well worth the money to upgrade, and installation of the RAM is painless (even my Mom could probably do it, which is saying a lot).
I use the free version of avast! Antivirus software which, coupled with Goggle Chrome's (and most other browsers' as well) pop-up blocker works perfectly and seamlessly to keep me secure.
The only time that the machine ever runs slow is when I have ten or more tabs open on Google Chrome along with music playing on Windows Media Player. Then, sometimes, (usually only when multiple sites I am visiting have a lot of flash, or encoded video, like youtube) it will slow down to the point that I need to pause the music for a little to let things catch up.
I love this netbook, and I highly suggest it to anyone looking to buy on.
Great Little Notebook November 14, 2009
Smitty
I've had the Samsung N120-12G 10.1-Inch Netbook for a little over a month. It has worked very well for what I intended it for. I took it on a trip to Nashville last week. I used the wireless capability in hotel rooms, restaurants and coffee houses. It all worked well. The small screen does not have much "Real Estate" for viewing web pages but the clarity is good. When at home, I connect it to a 24" flat screen. The display is excellent when connected 1900x1200 pixel resolution.
P.S. I Love the pearl essence white color.
Really Mobile Computing November 11, 2009
Marjorie R. Vanbenschoten
Have a 20" giant laptop with all bells and whistles and love it, but this little netbook is so easy to grab and go, I now use the big one as a desktop. Use the netbook even when home and not in my office.
Battery lasts a long time. Real happy with this product.
 Samsung N120-12GW: Small, sturdy, fast mini-netbook November 8, 2009
John R. Eriksson (Silver Spring, MD)
I did a thorough research of mini-notebooks, including reviews on Amazon and Cnet, before choosing the Samsung N120-12GW. On the whole, I am pleased with my decision. The notebook is slim and very portable. A little heavier than I expected, owing to the battery, but still lighter and much smaller than the Lenovo laptop I previously owned. The keyboard is close to normal size, as advertised, and I can type easily on it. The mini boots up amazingly rapidly to Windows XP and the battery life has been about 7-8 hours, again as advertised. I installed, relatively easily, a 2 GB RAM chip as well as MS Office Suite 2007, which it handles well. It's connectivity to wireless sources is excellent. My only complaint is some instability (erratic jumping around) of the cursor and the zoom tool when I'm composing emails and documents. This seems to occur when I inadvertently touch the scroll tool, which is along the right-hand portion of the touch pad. I overcame this problem by purchasing a Logitech wireless optical mouse. This works where I have a flat surface, but not when I have the mini on my lap. Nontheless, I'm happy with my purchase.Samsung N120-12GW 10.1-Inch White Netbook - 6 Cell Battery J.Eriksson
