Samsung GO N310-13GBK 10.1-Inch Jet Black Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life Review

We purchased this netbook for our VERY WEB-CONNECTED 17-year old daughter after looking at about 20 other similar products specs on the web. With 160 GBytes of storage, it does not win the game in storage capacity (the Gateway notebook has 240 GBytes), but in terms of battery autonomy (6-7 hours of actual usable charge with normal browsing/email activity!), a robust rubberized casing (good for teenagers), a bright screen, decent webcam and great non-compressed keyboard, it is an absolute joy to use for slightly above 0! You just cannot go wrong with the Samsung…

Toshiba Mini NB305-N440BL 10.1-Inch Royal Blue Netbook (8 Hour Battery Life) Review

This is the first time I bought a cheap computer in my life. This is my 7th Computer and I could say that this has a good performance for a cheap laptop.
I use this in school and work as a Paramedic and it works fine. It is handy in my job. Also, it is scratch resistant which the first thing that I got attracted it does not have the shiny skin which I hate because I do not like scratches. The speaker is too small for this laptop which I did not like. I also put games in it such as Fate. I haven’t try to put more games in it because this is not a gaming PC. Battery life is good enough to stay longer in school and work.

Gateway LT2032u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Over 7 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

I searched for a netbook for about a week and found that I could get a Toshiba netbook at Best Buy for about the same price that had a slightly faster processor but a smaller hard drive. I decided to go with the Gateway because of the 250 GB hard drive instead of the 120 GB. The slight increase in processor speed on the Toshiba just could not offset the Gateways price of 0 out the door with the larger hard drive. I upgraded the memory to the 2 GB max( Crucial 2GB 256Mx64PC2-5300 CT25664AC667 DDR2 200-Pin SODIMM Laptop Memory )which really makes a difference only for downloading files or watching video. The battery life seems to be about what is advertised, or maybe slightly better. I removed Norton’s and installed freeware for anti-virus and spyware and will probably remove the Microsoft Office suite because I don’t want to pay 0 for it. For as little as I expect to use it I don’t think that it is worth it on this netbook. I really only expect to use it for traveling which will consist of web use and email, and maybe video chat occasionally. It is built very solidly, and has great styling. As another reviewer stated, the battery does add about an inch to the depth over other netbooks, but this is only an issue for finding a sleeve to carry it in to protect it. I found a sleeve at Wal-Mart (also here at amazon.com) by Targus( Targus 10.2-Inch Slipskin-Peel Netbook Case )that looks great and fits perfectly. It comes in burgundy colored trim that matches exactly. It is slightly more here at amazon.com unless you get the blue trimmed one, which is about half the price as Wal-Mart. If you are looking for a full time computer, a netbook is not for you, but if you want mobility at a great price then I highly recommend this Gateway.

Toshiba Mini NB205-N310/BN 10.1-Inch Sable Brown Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life Review

This is an awesome machine with lots of power and style. I can find no downside: even with only 1gb main memory (expandable to two) I can do anything I want with it. Yes, HD video can have playback issues (waiting for the large files to load) but most everything else is spot on.

HP Mini 210-1080NR 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - 9.75 Hours of Battery Life Review

I bought this as a more portable option to my HP Laptop.. and love it! The 6cell battery is truly what makes this netbook shine! The life it has is amazing.. I wish my laptop had the same battery! It does add weight to it.. but truly worth every ounce it adds!
This is a quick acting powerful lil computer. I have upgraded the “trial” version of Microsoft Office to the full student version I have on my other computers at home, and it moves thru files quickly.
It is easy to use, and the quick link feature for email, and quick webaccess is great for when you aren’t really surfing for alot of sites.. just a quick glance at email or a recipe you saved.
I would like to be able to save small programs to the system. When I download stuff I always have to save to the memory stick.
A great product worth the price!

Asus Eee PC 1008P-KR-PU17-BR 10.1-Inch Intel Atom Netbook Computer (Coffee Brown) Review

I did a lot of research and waited a long time before buying this Netbook; I totally love the gorgeous look and finish, the ports are hidden under covers. Reasons I selected this model: the New Intel Atom N450, 2GB of memory (vs. 1 GB factory installed for most Netbooks), Win7 Home Prem. (vs. Starter Ed for other Netbooks), Wireless N, Bluetooth (I use a BT Wireless mouse), 1.3 MP webcam… Etc. Overall it is a very well equipped, very light and portable Netbook.
The screen is sharp and easy to read even outside (not under direct sun light).
The keyboard is really comfortable and easy to use.
Absolutely love the Express Gate, it is a stand-alone operating system from ASUS that boots up in seconds and provides the essential appz such as File Explorer, internet browser, photo viewer… in seconds I am connected to the nearest Wi-Fi hotspot and good to go.
The Cons are:
1) The most important thing for the Netbook is the battery life; on this one… it sucks! Better explain in numbers, Watching a movie from the Hard Drive with Bluetooth and Wireless both OFF and battery set on power saver: ~3 Hrs, Streaming video online with Wireless ON & BT OFF and battery set on balanced: ~2.5 Hrs, normal internet surfing (No Stream) with Wireless ON & BT OFF and battery set on power saver: ~4 Hrs, Video chat with Wireless ON & BT ON and battery set on balanced: ~2 Hrs, playing light games (like Luxor 3) full screen with BT and Wireless both OFF and battery set on power saver: ~2 Hrs. I haven’t yet tried to run it on High Performance battery setting for a long time!! The battery never lasted for 4.5 Hrs or more no matter what I turn off and on which settings the battery is; the 6 Hrs battery life is inaccurately advertised!
2) Surprisingly it is not very responsive, I was expecting way better than that! I understand that it is designed for web surfing and light applications and this is exactly what I’m using it for, if I stream a video on YouTube and I have 3 more tabs open in IE for email, news, blogs… the video breaks up really bad! Close a couple of tabs and it works fine! I mean for a 1.66 GHz dual core CPU and 2 Gigs of RAM you think it can do better. Now the performance significantly improve when it’s connected to AC power and set the battery to high performance but the Netbook should be a portable device, if I have to stay plugged to AC power, I would rather prefer to use my 17″ laptop!
3) The 1024×600 resolution is not compatible with a lot of websites and applications, seriously… the manufactures has to get out of this box, 1280×720 is totally doable in this screen size!

Samsung GO N310-13GMB 10.1-Inch Mint Blue Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life Review

Thanks to everyone who posted product reviews! They were invaluable to me in purchasing this netbook as well as a SnapScan 1500 scanner and NeatWorks software for receipts.

HP Mini 110-1050NR 10.1-Inch Netbook Review

Compre este Netbook basicamente porque queria un Netbook (computadora pequenha para facil traslado) con conector VGA para conectar un proyector…
Entre todas las netbooks me atrajo esta porque su precio original era 5 y se estaba vendiendo por menos de 0 cuando revise las caracteristicas encontre que tenia un modem incorporado para usar com el chip Sim que uso para la coneccion a internet 3g… Magnifico!
Este Netbook tiene una ranura oculta detras de la bateria para instalar el chip Sim…
Ahora tengo internet ultraportable, es super conveniente.
Previamente me habia comprado un SmartPhone con el objeto de leer documentos pdf y prepara presentaciones de PowerPoint en los momentos de espera del dia… no funciono: muy portable pero muy dificil de leer e interactuar (demasiado pequenho para pensar utilizarlo mas que en una emergencia).
La duracion de la bateria es mas que suficiente para mi uso diario sin necesidad de llevar constantemente el cargador (el que mantengo permanentemente en el mismo lugar, super comodo!)
Me preocupaba si un netbook podria realizar las mismas funcione que un laptop, si lo hace… no he tenido problema para instalar y ejecutar mis programas usuales (Adobe Professional y Mathematica de Wolfram)
Me parece que estos netbooks de 10″ son perfectos, tan portables como un libro y lo suficientemente amplios como para acostumbrarme a lo reducido de las dimensiones).
Este es el unico Netbook que he encontrado con la conveniencia de un modem Sim incorporado, la conveniencia de no necesitar un modem externo me fascina.
Me parece increible que este modelo no sea mas polular…
