Samsung NB30



$ 379 Samsung NB30 is a good choice for consumers who want peace of mind a semi-rugged offers netbook, but you want to keep the budget under $ 400. Suitable for older child or a frequent traveler, NB30 can cope with the basics and even some multimedia.

However, if the strength is not a key need, NB30 not completely withstand competition. You can get better performance with the Samsung N210 or MSI Wind U160 at the same price, and Gateway LT2118U and ASUS Eee PC 1001P (both of which will last more than 2 hours longer charge) to run for the $ 30 to $ 80 less. Nevertheless, the half-strength at this price is a good deal.

Awesome Netbook

By Clay Johanson (Charlotte, NC)

This review is for: Samsung NB30

I am technical support for life, and often find that I need to have the computer itself (rather than using the PC client), when I was on the ground fixing problems. My previous laptop was a 7-pound Sony, which was really too many bells and whistles for what I normally do not need - that is, only the main PC, as light and as reliable as possible. When I saw the Samsung NB30, I knew I had found what I was looking for.

NB30 sweet little machine - it is fast enough, it has great battery life, it's light (even with the AC adapter in my backpack, the entire package is less than 4 pounds), and he received the "corduroy" foreign matter, fingerprints and scratches. Windows 7 Operating System for beginners easily upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate (as I support, I need full access to the entire operating system) using the Windows Anytime Upgrade, as well as increasing memory from 1 GB to 2 GB (recommended) and took all couple of minutes.

If you are looking for a netbook, I strongly recommend NB30.
