The Turquoise Gadget November 17, 2009

First off let me congratulate Amazon on amazing shipping speed!! I ordered the netbook on a Tuesday evening using Super Saver Free Shipping and it arrived by noon on Thursday!!! This little gadget is great; I bought it for my wife who has little attention span at the computer, with this tool, she actually keeps up with email, started a facebook and really likes the Samsung. The color is perfect, she loves turquoise. For me, it is a little slow switching between the applications and I am now considerring a 2 GB upgrade. The battery life is great, display is clear and the keyboard is well spaced for even my big hands! I would highly recommend this netbook for any prospective buyer!
 cutest, most portable thing out there! November 3, 2009

I love just about everything about I've experienced with this 'mint-blue' netbook since I received it a few weeks ago. I only have a couple complaints, which are really more like slight annoyances. For one, I've noticed that when using Wi-fi, I get about 1 bar less than any other laptop right next to me. I've compared it to 4 other laptops of various ages and abilities and they all get better reception. The only other thing that is really quite minor, is that when i;m using the netbook unplugged and the screen dims after a period of un-use, the screen will flicker slightly. It really shouldn't bother anyone but people like me who get annoyed by very minor things, but I thought I should point it out.
Other than that, I have found my Samsung N310 to be quite the companion, and it really hasn't left my side since I got it. I really enjoy the long battery life and still haven't quite gotten used to not having to plug it in every couple hours. Its so freeing!
Also, if I weren't so dependant on internet, I would give it 5 stars, but it has become a bit of a hindrance.
What a nice wee machine October 13, 2009

Hi,
I bought my GO about a monthe ago and ...WOW. I was used to go on trip with my laptop and always complained about the weight and the space. The netbook was really the answer.
I thought about going MAC with their Macair, but decide against it as I only need a MAC to work at home and in most of the place I go, PC are used so easier to stay PC.
I like the key board. I was a bit worried about the size and I have relatively big hands. Guess what? So far I haven't misskeyed.
The battery life is incredible. When I am not using my GO (during talks etc...) I put in stand by...doing so, I can use it the whole day and even wghen I go back to my hotel, more than 50% of the power is still present.
So far a very good buy

After quite a bit of looking around, ended up with the N310 for a variety of reasons. I have a three year old notebook but it's a pain to lug around. Made sense when I first got it (big screen, plenty of power) because I was consulting (after retirement). Now smaller makes sense since the netbook will be used primarily as a communications device when we're on vacations.
First, went to retail stores to see netbooks. In general, all available there (ASUS, Acer, HP) looked flimsy at best. Most of the demos had keys missing already. Keyboards (and I don't have big hands) didn't seem that good. Second, we have other Samsung products in the home - it's a brand I'm likely to buy because our experience with it. Third - the N310 looked to be pretty solid (and it seems so now - much more of a solid feel than any I saw in retail) with a rubberized cover and a chiclet keyboard. Fourth, my wife - who is not too technology oriented - liked the look of this netbook (she suggested the mint blue). While she's unlikely to use it, she's into what technology looks like. I considered the Toshiba and the ASUS models, but in the end chose Samsung. I can't say I was able to compare them side by side.
One question was whether it made sense to wait til Windows 7. It is likely that it might have. But then again these machines are matched to a pretty specific need - and it's not necessarily high tech. For me it's e-mail and occasional Office work. I put OpenOfficeo on and the VLC media player in addition to Firefox. Net there's a lot you can do with XP and are likely to be able to do for quite a while. That and XP is familiar.
Had it running in no time (although 48 XP updates had to be applied). I did upgrade the memory - trivial. Don't think I had to but it seemed to make sense given the life cycle. I ordered from Crucial rather than Amazon after using Crucial's wizard - it's recommendation didn't match the Amazon Crucial part. So far (a week+) very happy. Really appreciate the solid feel. Doesn't appear to have a lot of junk software that has to be removed. Battery looks to be impressive. No real problem with the keyboard. I guess it's also fair to say that cost wasn't a major factor - this is a bit more than alternatives but given the prices for netbooks, plus or minus 10% isn't a issue factor for me. I know it is for others. I'd suggest durability may justify the extra cost and who knows what people will pay for "style".
