Netbook Review UK

The Samsung N150 is one of a handful of mini-laptops powered by Intel Atom N450 processors that Samsung introduced last month. It’s one of the cheaper new models, and probably as a result sports a rather ordinary looking plastic case and a battery that’s good for up to 7.5 hours.  That’s ok, but the new N210/220 battery runs 11 or more hours.

CNET has posted one of the first reviews of the Samsung N510. Overall, the reviewer finds the netbook to be a mixed bag. He finds the keyboard to be a little cramped, but he likes the touchpad which supports multitouch gestures.

The 4400mAh battery provided just over 5 hours of run time in a Battery Eater test but Battery Eater is designed to constantly stress the CPU and not really a reflection of real life.  So,  you should expect closer to 6 or 7 hours of web surfing or other light duty activities.

For now, only the old, Atom N280 powered version of the Samsung N510 is available here in the UK, but we expect the updated version soon.
