Samsung GO November 23, 2009 C. Gwynn (Los Angeles, CA USA) I have had my little Samsung GO! for over a month and really like how compact and light weight it is and easy to use. The battery life is amazing. I wish I could offer up more technical advice and specs but I'm a Mac user and very new to using a PC. I needed a smaller and lighter laptop to bring on my travels and this really seems to be the ticket. I would definitely recommend it.
Love this little computer November 17, 2009 Jose P. Gonzales (Portland, OR, USA) I loved this little computer the minute I opened up the box. It's all I need for my emailing, web browsing, music listening(I bought an iHome Rechargeable Mini Speaker for $19.99 and it sounds great!)and Skype-ing! It works perfectly! So far, I don't have a negative thing to say about this netbook (I've only had it for a month)!
A great, stylish little netbook November 16, 2009 Mr. A. Seabright I'm really happy I purchased this netbook. It has a great screen, keyboard and battery life, the speakers' sound is actually pretty decent (despite what I had read to the contrary), and to top it all, it is really stylish - more so than the famously stylish macs, in my opinion.
I take the netbook everywhere with me in a very small shoulder bag, and barely notice that it is there. And it's fantastic to be able to work basically a whole day in different cafes etc, without needing to plug in until I get back home again.
Great work Samsung!
Practical Netbook Implementation November 3, 2009 J. Boyer 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've looked at a number of netbooks, and most either have a dinky, unreadable screen, an unusable keyboard, or the construction looks very cheap. Samsung took these things into consideration when they created this model. The screen is sharp and bright, easy to read, the keyboard is adult sized, and the unit looks and feels solid.
I bought this unit for the wife to take to Europe so we can keep in touch without making AT&T rich, with the intention of loading Linux on it when she got back. However, Samsung's configuration of XP Home is good enough to keep using it as-is. The wireless simply works -- once you select an access point, you type in the encryption key and off it goes. The touchpad can actually be configured -- you can turn off the taps, have it disabled while typing, or even turn it off completely. And you can also zoom the screen with two fingers a la iPhone technique.
Like all OEM window loads, there is lots of extra crap installed that can be deleted to save space. It has Bluetooth and it apparently works with all sorts of things from earpieces to Crackberries. It even worked with my Bluetooth GPS, but sadly, not my iPhone. If you really don't need Bluetooth, disabling the auto startup speeds up the computer just a tad.
So far I've installed two different SIP phone clients, Open Office and Netstumbler, as well as the drivers and utilities for a Nikon point-n-shoot camera. Everything has worked without issue thus far.
Pros:
Solid unit with a unique coating on the case to make it easy to hang on to.
Wireless and touchpad drivers are not the stripped generic variety.
Battery life is pretty decent.
Cons:
AC adapter gets pretty darned hot.
Frequent / annoying pop-ups for security, driver and Windows updates.
Updates sometimes crash / fail to install.
Some preloaded software packages are only good for a certain period of time or pester you about buying the deluxe version.
Packaging Sets It Apart October 27, 2009 W. F. Amero Jr. (Flowery Branch, GA United States) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Like many have said before, these Netbooks come with, essentially, the same hardware/software. What you get have for the added $$$ is the packaging or more precisely the outside housings. Rounded corners and non-glossy paint in more than black and silver. The battery is good. I've surfed for 5 hours, playing videos and other energy eaters and then plug it in for a recharge. The power supply gets super hot while computer on and PS plugged in.
I'm real happy with my choice with this Samsung.
