this is a fine netbook. The keyboard is nicely laid out and responsive. The built in webcam is sufficient, but nothing extraordinary. The touchpad is the least desireable feature, a bit small. I love the matte screen. It really cuts down on the glare and makes it a delight to look at. Overall, I'm very pleased.

Before I bought the Samsung N150 I read all the reviews about this netbook and the other major brands. Comparing customer satisfaction, performance, features and user friendliness - the Samsung N150 proved to be the winner!

In my opinion this netbook is simply the best.



1 out of 5 stars Samsung doesn't honor their warranty   July 8, 2010

My son purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband in 2009, 7 months later we went to unplug it and the port snapped. I called and spoke to Samsung and it was shipped to their repair place. A technician deemed it "customer caused damage" and the warranty was null and void. I then spent 20 minutes on the phone with Samsung stating it was not dropped and all I did was unplug it. They wanted $50 just to tell me what's wrong with it and then how much it would be to get it fixed. What a joke! The whole computer cost us under $300, this is just another example of corporations/manufacturers not taking responsibility.

I've had the Samsung N150 since March and really love it. It's light and fast, which is exactly what I was looking for as far as a netbook. I feel like I got a winner in my book. I did add/adjust some things on the N150.

--Upgraded to 2GB

--After about 6 weeks of owning, I upgraded to full version of Windows 7. Glad I did. The basic starter version is eh...okay, but full version is much better. I think it even runs faster than before the upgrade.

--I ditched the free McAfee virus protection and went with the free Windows Securities Essential. Easy to install and unobtrusive, unlike McAfee. (Be sure to remove McAfee first)

--The N150 comes with a free trial of WORD 2007 and I got lucky in that I had bought a copy of Home & Student 2007 eighteen months ago. It allows me to use for up to three computers, so all I had to do was type in the code and have full use of WORD 2007.

The Samsung N150 starts up fast and the screen is bright and clear. I haven't tried to power down the battery yet, but have used it for three hours with no problems. One suggestion I have is to NOT put in a flash drive at start up. I had the netbook lock up at start up before I figured out it was the flash drive.

Overall, I highly recommend the Samsung N150 for anyone looking for an excellent, well-built netbook.

I bought an N150 after Consumers Reports gave it high reviews. A week after I received it, it wouldn't come back on after Windows updated Windows 7 Starter. I sent it to factory service which replaced the hard drive. When it came back the touch pad didn't work so I returned it to service. After receiving it from service a second time, the touch pad works but is erratic and jumpy. I tried reducing the sensitivity but, regardless of sensitivity setting, it still is unpredictable. It's sometimes hard to get the cursor to move, and when it does move, and it comes near a link or button, it tends to stop and open a bidirectional arrow instead of smoothly moving past or to the link. I have been forced to buy an external mouse for it. With the mouse, it works okay.
The next problem occurred when I tried to install 2 GB of memory to replace the 1 GB that it came with. The memory door on the underside does not open even after loosening the screw and prying on the door. It feels like the nut that the screw is supposed to screw into is turning without releasing the screw. Samsung service refuses to repair it, claiming that memory door is not covered by the warranty.
