 The leader in the crowded N450 pack. March 5, 2010
Peter J. Murray (MI USA)
67 out of 68 found this review helpful
I've rolled out three of these netbooks for work, the following are my observations of this model.
Pros
+ Virtually silent fan. I've set up an Acer netbook that had a fan that sounded like a mosquito so the quiet fan on this model is a plus.
+ Great construction quality. The plastics are very high quality.
+ Excellent keyboard. The keys are the right size (especially the right shift key which is a problem with other brands), and it's very easy to type on with just a minimal adjustment period.
+ Matte screen (personal preference, but many of my users prefer matte screens as they are easier on the eyes and you can use matte screens outdoors without too much difficulty).
Cons
- Setup is a chore, the built in software wants to partition the drive upon first boot, so be prepared to let it sit and do setup for at least an hour after first boot. This might be confusing for some, and annoying for most people.
- There is a lot of Samsung programs that you may want to remove after the setup is complete.
- No recovery disk, just a recovery partition.
- Really not liking the Samsung 'recovery system'.
Neutral
= Same old 1024x600 screen. I'd love this in a 1366x768. This netbook does allow you to run the screen at 1024x768 by crunching the pixels slightly, which helps, but I'd rather see a 1366x768 option.
= Windows 7 Starter. I'm glad the world is moving on from XP, but not being able to change the wallpaper without a third party utility seems like a petty feature to disable.
General comments
* Microsoft Security Essentials is an excellent anti virus program, and it's free. Combine with Malware Bytes you are very well covered.
* The Samsung N150 is probably the best choice of this generation of Atom N450 1024x600 screen netbooks.
* I reformat ours by backing up the security certificate and the product key and using a universal Windows 7 boot disk.
* Update 3/12/2010 - previously mentioned Atheros card problems aren't really a problem. The card only supports 2.4ghz bands (no big deal), and the connection problem I was having was a glitch in our campus wireless system which was fixed. Wireless performs just fine.
great purchase! March 21, 2010

I wanted a compact, portable, no-frills laptop to take to work and on the road, and this netbook has fulfilled those expectations perfectly. The screen is easy to see even in bright light, the keyboard is quite comfortable, the blue cover doesn't show every fingerprint, and despite the complaints of some reviewers concerning the limitations of Windows 7 Starter, the OS is completely functional and easy to get used to. I'd like to have my own desktop wallpaper, but I'll get over it. The only problem was an AC adapter that stopped charging after a week, but Amazon sent a replacement which arrived the next day - probably the least painful resolution to a problem that I could ever imagine. I'm happy with both the netbook and the service.
Great non-glare screen netbook May 24, 2010

I am a college teacher, and I bought this netbook for several reasons:
1. Non-glare screen, so that I can work comfortably outside
2. Lightweight, easy to transport
3. Long battery life so I can leave the cord at home
This netbook has met and exceeded my expectations in each of these categories. I love the non-glare screen, the computer is so lightweight, and the battery life has not disappointed me. The set-up (although time-consuming) was easy to do, and I am surprised how much I like Windows 7 (I have found that the starter edition is more than adequate for my needs). All-in-all this is a great little netbook; I'm very very pleased with it.
take it anywhere April 14, 2010

Great Little Netbook May 15, 2010
Ironman (Great Falls, MT United States)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've had this netbook for about two months and I really like it. I have had no troubles with it. The only other Samsung product I had was a cell phone. I didn't get it at Amazon but I paid about the same and the only difference was a 250gb hard drive instead of the 160. I like the matte screen and the non glossy cover. It took an hour for the initial setup. During setup it adds a partition for back ups. It gives you the option to adjust how much space you want the partition to have and once set, it cannot be changed. I have removed alot of the unnecessary programs that I didn't want. I downloaded zone alarm firewall, AVG anti-virus, malwarebytes anti-malware, spyware blaster and ccleaner (all free). I removed office 2007 and downloaded open office (also free). It comes with Windows 7 starter which is better than XP. I added a 2gb memory stick which I did purchase from Amazon about a week ago and I have seen a slight improvement in performance. Its not meant to replace a desktop or a laptop but it is small and light weight to carry around. I use a mouse only because I'm used to it. The touch screen is nice, it has a gesture feature that allows you to expand or decrease parts of the screen. The wireless works well and the ethernet port works well also. It also has three usb ports and a video port to attach a monitor. Like a previous reviewer I have not used the web cam yet. Overall I can say that for under $300 it is a very nice netbook.
