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

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 sunset orange (N310-13GO), it also comes in three other colors: midnight blue, jet black, 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. This netbook is powered by the 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, which is designed especially for mobile devices and features an innovative hafnium-infused circuitry that reduces electrical current leakage in transistors to conserve energy.



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. Other features include a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM, built-in speakers and microphone, SD/SDHC/MMC memory card reader, three USB ports, and a VGA output to an external monitor. It comes preinstalled with the Microsoft Windows XP Home operating system, which offers more experienced users an enhanced and innovative experience that incorporates Windows Live features like Windows Live Messenger for instant messaging and Windows Live Mail for consolidated email accounts on your desktop.

Key Features

4 out of 5 stars Love , Hate Relationship   August 6, 2010
Don
Like I said in the title this is a love hate relationship. I decide to buy this in December 2009. I received it about two weeks before X-mas. Everything worked great the first two weeks, then the hate part woke up. The day after X-mas it crashed. I had made a restore copy on the hard drive as it suggested. When I try to use it, it wouldn't do anything. Because I was in Iowa and not in SC, I had to wait until the first of the year to try to fix it.

Upon returning to SC, I put in the restore CD and it didn't see it. I tried several times and it just would not see the restore CD. So I decided to try my live linux CD and when I placed it in the CD it started to load. After loading my linux OS, I was able to see that windows was still there. So after several more attempts, I gave up and install linux on it. I have run Lint Mint for the last 7 months with no problems. I have been able to install windows (1st. August) on it again. I still use Lint Mint more but I have been able to install PhotoShop CS2 (which I needed) on the window side. It works very well without any problems.

I really love this netbook. It takes getting used to. The keyboard is just great. Once you adjust to the screen size you will have no problems with it. It's size is a plus. The only other problem, that I have with it, is that the mouse pad must be turned off when using a mouse or it will cause problems.



5 out of 5 stars I Just Love It!   March 25, 2010
Laercio Silva Jr. (Brazil)
I had a HP netbook before, and the Samsung is better on so many ways.

The material and color is very nice, the Screen is LED, very good light, colors and contrast.

I did change the software and uninstall most of useless pre-loaded programs and my samsung run very fast and smooth, if you have problem with the speed, change the McAfee Anti-Virus for the Avast Home Edition is free.

Plus I did install the OpenOffice.Org is just perfect for that machine.



5 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised   February 2, 2010
L. Kovacs (Mohegan Lake NY. USA)
Fast booting, well performing little netbook. So far flawless. Actually did not excpect it to be that fast. I find it a very useful, well designed little machine. WLan, so far great. Easy to configure. No problems with anything so far. (Own it, and use it every day, for almost two months now)
Love the shape and the texture of the case. Battery capacity is great, as advertised. Prices are coming down so shop around. Happily recommend it.



4 out of 5 stars its a nice netbook but not without flaws   February 1, 2010
Eun Hee Oh (philadelphia, pa)
Probably the biggest drawback to this book is the small keyboard, but if you didn't know that going in then you would be foolish. it takes some getting used to, but we're getting the hang of it. I also would have liked this machine better if the lid had a latch. Last, the atom processor is slow at times.. it is a bit annoying at times when the system takes more than a few seconds to load firefox.. that being said it is much worse trying to open explorer. i wouldn't recommend using explorer on this book because its a dog.


5 out of 5 stars Wonderful portable computer!   January 7, 2010

I've only had my Samsung GO for a couple of weeks, but already I'm in love! This portable computer is surprisingly powerful. The rubberized cover is scratch-resistant, and I love the bright colors. I was worried about typing on this small keyboard, but so far have had few problems; it is certainly more comfortable to type on than other netooks I've tested out. I upgraded the memory to the 2GB which has made a difference when I have multiple programs open. Though I only purchased this machine to make mobile computing possible, I find myself even using it at home because it more than matches my old laptop's performance. If you are looking for a netbook, I highly recommend the Samsung GO!
