Samsung N210 review
The new Samsung N210 netbook is a solid performer that is available for under $600.
As long as you’re not expecting miracles from Samsung with the N210, you shouldn’t encounter any unpleasant surprises. Similar to many netbooks, the N210 runs an Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz processor with 1GB of memory, a 250GB hard drive and Intel GMA3150 graphics card, all of which are just powerful enough to cope with the basic functions most people perform with a netbook, such as web surfing and email.
Samsung has also equipped it with some other fairly standard specifications, including 802.11/b/g/n Wi-Fi and the latest Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity. The 10.1-inch WSVGA screen (1024×600 resolution) is good without being great, as you’d expect from a netbook in this price range.
The one standout feature of the Samsung N210 is its battery life, which is above average for a netbook. It can deliver up to 12 hours of power when used for basic functions. Battery life is obviously an all-important consideration for netbooks, which are designed with portability in mind.
The Samsung N210’s Australian RRP is $599.
