Samsung N310 Netbook

The netbook we received had a fiery orange color and is also available in 3

more colors- Turqoise Blue, Blue and Black. It is powered by the standard Intel

Atom N270 processor clocking at 1.6GHz along with 1GB of RAM and the

configuration makes it fine for normal use- web browsing, listening to music,

watching a movie, document editing and all the non graphic intensive stuff. It

features a 10-inch screen and the keyboard is quite comfortable with nicely

spaced out keys and enough space for the palm rest. The N310 has the Windows 7

Starter Edition preinstalled. The hard drive is a 160GB drive and it features 3

USB ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, card reader and LAN. There is an integrated 1.3MP

camera which is placed just above the screen. The PC Mark score of 1386 is quite

good enough for daily use. The battery life is from the standard 6 cell battery

is about 5 hours from full charge to full discharge and is better than most

netbooks we have seen. However, like all netbooks, the integrated graphics are

good enough to only be able to render the OS. It could have done better though

with one more gigabyte of RAM. However, at Rs 28k, it is more expensive than

rivals who offer similar performance at lesser price.

Bottomline: The battery

life and design make this netbook worth every penny, However, you should check

MSI Wind U135 which offers similar features and performance, at a lower price.
