Good news, Samsung has decided to go for a 10.1 inch matte panel on its N230 Slim. A judicious choice that limits reflections. Unfortunately, the resolution is limited to 1024 x 600 pixels. We'd have preferred to see a 1366 x 768 pixel screen to displa...

Slim and light, the Samsung N230 Slim scores more points for its size than its overall look. The big advantage is you can tuck it under your arm and carry it anywhere with you. You will however need to make sure your battery is charged as it won't give...

Despite the premium it demands, Samsung's N230 suffers from a slightly sub-par screen and its keyboard is average at best. However, in most other regards it's a good effort, with innovative software, stylish design and class-leading battery life going som...

As netbooks go, the new Samsung N230 doesn't look like anything special. It follows the template laid down by Microsoft for a netbook running Windows 7 Starter Edition, with only 1GB of RAM and, like other netbooks, it doesn't have an optical drive or...

A decent netbook needs long battery life, a well-designed keyboard and low price-tag. Samsung certainly succeeds in terms of keyboard and battery, although the price tag of £349 is on the high side. However, you're always going to pay a bit more for a...

I haven't had the chance to play with many Samsung netbooks lately, mainly because most of them aren't available in stores in my country. They are not that popular in the States from pretty much the same reason and it seems Samsung decided to fo...

The keyboard has slightly smaller-than-average keys, but there's a good amount of space between each one so accidentally straying onto a neighbouring key is rare. And by providing a good amount of travel to each key, Samsung has done a sterling job with t...

It's thin and sleek—too bad it's an Atom netbook We didn’t want to admit it, but it’s true: The Atom netbook market is a snooze. Netbooks based on Intel’s Atom platform (currently in its Pine Trail incarnation) ship with a 10.1-inch screen, 1GB of RAM...
Slimmest, lightest netbook we've tested; good keyboard.
Sub fourhour battery; boring internals; fingerprint prone.

After a dry spell in 2009 with very few prestigious Atom netbooks (the N130 and N140), early 2010 saw the launch of Intel's new Pine Trail platform and the N220 , NB30 and a little later the N150 came onto the market. They were all successful mini-noteboo...

N230 Storm unreasonably pricedIt is hard to understand why the Samsung N230 Storm (NP-N230-JA01DE) is priced as it is. Marketed by Samsung as a sleek up-market netbook, it costs over a hundred Euros more than the N220 (available for €300-320) or the N150...
