I like almost everything about the experience I have with this mint-blue 'netbook since I received some weeks earlier. I have very few complaints, which are actually more like boring. For my part, I noticed that when using Wi-Fi, I have about 1 bar to less than any other laptop, right next to me. I have great respect for the other 4 laptops of different ages and abilities, and all have a better reception. The only other thing that is really minor, is that when I use the netbook disconnected and reduces the screen after a period of non use the screen flickers slightly. Really should not bother anyone, but people like me who get annoyed by things much smaller, but I thought I'd mention. Also, I found my Samsung N310 just be the companion, and the rest is not left my side when I get it. I really like the battery life long enough and are not used to not having to connect every few hours. So his exit! Also, if I were not so dependent on the Internet, I would have given 5 stars, but has become a little 'of an obstacle.

Hello, I bought my GO month, and there are about a ... WOW. I used to travel with my laptop and still complained of weight and space. The netbook is really the answer. I believe that walk with their MAC Marlin, but decides against it, I need a Mac to work at home and most of where I am, PCs are used more easily to stay PC. I like the keyboard. I was a bit 'worried about the size and my hands are big enough. Guess what? So far, I misskeyed. Battery life is incredible. When not use my GO (in interviews, etc. ..) I put on stand by ... In this way, I can use every day and even wghen I returned to my hotel, more than 50% of power is always present. So far a very good buy

After a small shop "around, it was concluded with the N310 for a number of reasons. I have a three year contract, but is a pain for all of July, it made sense when I realized (widescreen, full power), because I looked (after retirement). Now, every sense, as the netbook will be used primarily as a communication device when we're on vacation.

First, go to retail stores to see netbooks. In general, all options available, (Asus, Acer, HP) seemed tenuous at best. Most of the demo had the keys missing. Keyboards (and I have large hands), it seems good. Secondly, we have other Samsung products in the home - is a brand that I am inclined to buy because our experience with him. Third - the N310 seems to be pretty solid (and I think at this time - more than just a strong feeling that all those I have seen in retail sales), with a rubber cap and a Chiclet keyboard. Fourth, my wife - not too tech-oriented - like the look of the netbook (suggested by the blue mint). Although it is unlikely that use them, it is what is technology. I've looked at Toshiba and ASUS models, but ultimately chose Samsung. I can not say that I was able to compare side by side.

One question was whether it made sense to wait til Windows 7. It is likely that it could have. But these machines are equipped with a very specific need - not necessarily high tech. For me, it is the e-mail and casual work for Office. I put on OpenOfficeo and VLC media player, in addition to Firefox. Net, there are several things you can do with XP, and is likely to be able to do for some time. "Whoever is familiar and XP.

If you have installed and running in no time (even 48 Windows XP updates have been applied). I did the memory upgrade - trivial. Do not think I had, but it seemed logical, given the life cycle. I ordered from Amazon, rather than Crucial Crucial after using the wizard - the recommendation is not consistent with the crucial part of the Amazon. Far (a week +) very happy. Enjoy the sensation of sound. Not seem to have a lot of software garbage that must be removed. The battery seems to be impressive. No real problem with the keyboard. I think it's fair to say that the cost was not an important factor - is "more than others, but given the prices of netbooks, plus or minus 10% is not an essential problem for me. I know it is for others. I suggest the date in May to justify the additional costs and who knows what people will pay for "style".

The Reluctant ( San Luis Obispo, CA USA )

I chose the Samsung because I GO keyboard layout, and I liked the ease of slipping in the modernization of 2 GB of memory. Cancel a screw to open the door at the bottom of the case, the release two clips and slide the memory card of the Netbook. Upgrading the memory board slid to the right, close the latches, close the door and replace the screw that holds the door closed. Easy, easy, fast. Memory function Upgraded great!

A small note: the photos show a pastel blue bag mint. Not so. The real color is vibrant, eye-popping turquoise that love is there or not. And unusual feature and not all cup of tea. Who loves (my wife) really like it a lot. Others think it is a little 'on the wild side. But if you do not like the color, there's just no denying that it is a little netbook. Keyboard is solid and sturdy and is a little' bigger than the keyboard found on netbooks most (92% of the size compared to 89% found for the most part). The difference is in the spacing key, and it is obvious. Typing on the GO Samsung is easy and comfortable.

It 'as simple as a Netbook. Much. And a fire in seconds, perfectly connected to any wireless system when I tried to use, provides a clear display of light is much easier to read than you might imagine, and all packs the features that I really need while browsing the Internet. Bluetooth connectivity is great, and do not use a Bluetooth mouse when working on projects that use this netbook. Otherwise, I use the touchpad, which is sufficient for surfing the Internet or simply send an e-mail.

I feel the netbook is incredible, strong and solid and well built. Fragile Nothing on this machine. Is packed with the software, and you should remove some of which could not be used often. I download files from a memory key that can be transported from one computer to another, so that the hard disk of 160 GB is more than adequate for my purposes. And the battery life is impressive ... I realized almost nine hours, when you use it in battery saving mode. Nearly six fastest in normal mode. That time is sufficient for most of my goals.

Compare this with the others and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. There are many good netbooks out there, all are small and convenient. GO Samsung is more expensive than other more, but feels more solid and better than simply building more. E 'incredibly light at under 3 pounds and comes in an amazing variety of colors for those who are not afraid to be noticed. Burnt Orange, Midnite Blue, black and "Blue Mint", which is anything but a pastel ... everything except the black box stand out in a crowd, and even Black Samsung GO is distinctive. If you can touch the screen somewhere, check out this Netbook. It is also different, as seems to be in photos with this article. I give this five (5) stars. It's a keeper!
