Samsung N130 and N140 Comparison

Samsung has 2 very similiar netbooks out currently, the Samsung N130 and N140.  Both the N130 and N140 have been hailed as successors to the popular Samsung NC10, but what exactly are the differences between the two you might ask?

Well, the most obvious is the price difference – the cheapest N140 currently comes in at £283.36 while the best price for the N130 is just £229.99.  so, what does the extra 50 quid buy you?

-  Battery life, the N140′s 5900 mAh battery is rated for 9 hours, while the N130 tops out at a still respectable 6 hours.
-  Stereo sound.  The N130 has to make do with 1 speakers, while the N140 gets the usual two for glorious stereo netbook sound.

And that’s about it.  The N130 and N140 share the same touchpad, keyboard and ostensibly have the same screen and ports.  Hardware wise, they share the same standard netbook underpinnings we’re all more familiar with (Atom N270 1.6GHz Processor, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD).

So if you’re after a pretty standard, but well built and utterly competent netbook from a tried and tested manufacturer, you could certainly do a lot worse than either the Samsung N130 or N140.

The Samung N130 is available with free shipping for £229.99 with free shipping and the N140 is £283.36, also with free shipping.
