Product Description
Samsung Go N310-13GBK Netbook - Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB DDR2, 160GB HDD, 10.1 WSVGA, Windows XP Home, Webcam, Jet Black

Amazon.com Product Description
Weighing just 2.9 pounds, the Samsung GO N310 netbook is one of the lightest netbooks in its class and it's loaded with the latest technology for maximum performance. Distinctively styled, it's designed by award-winning Japanese artist Naoto Fukasawa and features smoothly rounded edges that resemble a pebble that's been worn down by wind and waterfall and its cover has a rubberized surface that more durable and easy-to-grip. In addition to this model in jet black (N310-13GBK), it also comes in three other colors: midnight blue, sunset orange and mint blue.



The rainbow of Samsung GO N310 colors.

An affordable mobile PC that's ideal for all your online needs, the GO N310 is designed to go almost anywhere--from kitchen and living room at home to Wi-Fi hotspots at coffee shops, airports and more. You'll be able to stay connected all day long thanks to the included 6-cell battery, which provides up to 9 hours of continuous use. It sports a 10.1-inch LED-backlit screen with a scratch resistant, edge-to-edge glass display, and the pebble-textured keyboard design makes typing comfortable with larger than average spacing.

The 10.1-inch LED-backlit edge-to-edge glass display is scratch resistant and delivers vivid images.


The exterior of the GO N310 has been rubberized for an easy grip and features a tactile Samsung logo.


The smooth rectangular-shaped isolation keypad with optimized key spacing helps you stay productive on the go.
The integrated 54g Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g) will keep you connected to email and all your social networks, while the Bluetooth 2.1+EDR technology enables you to use handsfree communication headsets while video chatting via the integrated 1.3-megapixel webcam.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fantastic!   May 4, 2010
Brian Field (NY USA)
I am rarely compelled to right reviews, but this netbook is really, really awesome. I am a PC tech with over 10 years of experience in building and fixing machines.

Most netbooks look and feel really cheap, but not this one. I have been looking for a sleek looking AND solid laptop or netbook for a while now - as I hate the cheap plastic feel that even many/most high end notebooks have. This one doesn't feel cheap! I LOVE the rubberized feel to it, and the rounded corners, and edge to edge glass screen. Yes, the screen does give some glare, but you'll get over it. I am currently Triple Booting between XP, Windows 7, and Snow Leopard. This netbook runs Mac OSX Snow Leopard fantastically, and all the features work (sleep, bluetooth, etc) with a little bit of work. A perfect hackintosh!

[...].

Someone mentioned that they didn't like the touchpad.... why? It is very accurate and has a nice feel to it!

I happened to have a 2 gig stick of ram lying around so I threw that in there and it runs great.

I got mine used but like new for $260. VERY SATISFIED. Yes, it does cost more than others do, but I think it is absolutely worth it, even if I did have to spend more than I did.



5 out of 5 stars Wonderful machine!   April 5, 2010
Augustine Backer (Boston, MA)
I have gone through several Lenovo notebook computers, and was looking for something light, uniquely stylish, and with a full size keyboard, with a nice display, so that I could use Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and also access email, watch online movies, etc, and this machine does it all! I am very happy with the machine, and the batter life is amazing! Over 10 hours on a single charge.


5 out of 5 stars What a battery!!!   February 3, 2010
E. Haynes (Charleston, WV)
I bought this for my husband to "work from home" while still being able to feel like he was spending time with the family. It has the power of our full size laptop with the convenience of his blackberry. It loads very quickly which is a complaint with our laptop. You can grab it to check something online and then just shut it down. The battery last several days and then charges in a couple of hours. It is convenient but doesn't sacrifice speed or a comfortable keyboard. I love the style and the feel of the rubberized exterior. It feels and looks expensive, but it was very reasonable. I still haven't found a better price on a 9 hour + computer. Thank you AMAZON!!!


4 out of 5 stars Looks and feels amazing, but with couple of issues   January 9, 2010
S. Akyuz (Providence , RI)
I currently have an IBM T61 as my main laptop, just an FYI. OK, here is the thing; I'm not a tech expert, so I don't know about the technical pros and cons of this netbook. I just got it like a month ago, but I used it almost everyday. Here is what I experienced so far:

PROS
- Seriously, the design is amazing. I always wanted to have a Macbook, but couldn't afford one. It really feels like a Mac.
- It's the perfect size; not too small, not too big. I put it in a small bag without any problems when I was traveling.
- Very durable case

CONS
- Couple of screen freezings, had to restart. Shouldn't happen in a brand new net book.
- Like many netbooks, no DVD or CD drive so you can't install softwares easily
- Sometimes it's slow.
- If you aren't used to netbooks, you'll have to get used to the size of the keyboard. It doesn't take more than 2 days though.

So, I'm happy with it so far. I love everything Samsung manufactures. They're a green and sustainable company. Hence, I'm happy that my dollars aren't going to the dollar-greedy CEOs who doesn't care about the environment.

I'd recommend it.



5 out of 5 stars Great little machine!   January 7, 2010
K. Feierbach-Hewes (Georgia)
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 $300! You just cannot go wrong with the Samsung...
