+ feels good quality and performs well and fast, nice screen too.

- very dissapointing that it doesnt have office or something to write documents in, its not a cheep piece of kit and I did expect Word or similar to be installed. Constantly trieds to load Samsung facilities programmes that I dont want.

Gwen, Clitheroe

+ Great looking laptop with good keyboard - everything you want in a Netbook.

- Battery life could be much better - I went for the design and looks rather than an ugly machine with longer battery life.

Jonny, London

+ The super sleak design, moulded case, frameless screen and pebble keyboard make the Samsung N310 an absolute design classic. I feel it's by far the nicest looking netbook on the market and has that wow factor by daring to be a little bit different.

- From reading other reviews they say the battery life is not as good as other netbooks, however I personally don't need up to 7 hours battery life and I'm happy enough with the 4 or 5 the Samsung N310 has to offer.

+ It has a chunky, reliable feel. The keyboard feels good - it's smaller but easy to use. It worked straight out of the box, which for me was a great relief!

- It has icons on the desk top that I don't recognise - they all appear important but you have to find out what they actually do and if you need them.

+ Same format as my desktop computer so easy to use.

- Had to buy mouse as it was 'jumpy'. More WRITTEN insructions prior to start-up would have been nice. Lot of stuff on that I did not want and had to get rid of it.

Paul, Watford , “General home user” More like this »

+ Stylish design. Great keyboard, think apple laptops. Quick and easy to change brightness, sound level, toggle wifi on and off. Will just about run 720 video with right decoder.

- Overpaid at the time, though the price has fallen. Still price related you can and get a similar spec machine at least £50 cheap, but it won't look as nice, you do pay a premium for the styling. Battery could be better.

+ does just what i wanted it to. a very good product that i am using on mains mostly and usually in bed and for surfing when my partner is using the main pc in the same room. it is not as fast as the big one and I never expected it to be - not even as fast to load as my lap top but it is smaller, lighter, complete and sexy. A great product. Buy one.

- None worth moaning about. Its a net book!

+ This is my first netbook and i love it. its compact and light and so easy to use. Everything on the keyboard is comfortable to use. The mouse pad is placed exactly right. (no accidently touching it.) Also refreshing is that the cover is not shiny....hence not looking dirty all the time with fingerprints!

Laptop Buyers' Guide  

Manufacturer's Description

Even though it is one of the world’s lightest mini-notebooks in its 10.1" class, weighing just 1.23kg with a powerful 4 cell battery, the N310’s innovative design is packed with the latest technology for maximum mobility and productivity. It also incorporates a range of practical features, like a normal-size, ergonomic notebook PC style keyboard, to simplify life on the move. So when you need to stay in touch, but want to make a good impression the N310 makes complete sense.

class leading craftsmanship
A class leading design built to fit in with people’s fast-paced and digitally interconnected lives, so you can do even more on the move – and still look good! The superb look and feel of its slim and elegant chassis is accentuated with a choice of colours and haptic styling.

ultra portability
The N310 is one of the lightest mini-notebooks in its 10.1" class, weighing just 1.23kg*, but packed with the latest communications technology for maximum mobility and productivity on the move. So you can carry less, but do more.
*1.23kg is based on 6 cell battery.

video-conferencing
An integrated 1.3 mega pixel digital motion camera makes it easier than ever to keep in touch with friends and family, using video-conferencing or live messaging. The camera combines the resolution and image quality of a still camera with the sustained high frame rates of a video camera.

pebble keyboard
The N310 features a smooth rectangular-shaped isolation keypad design giving you an attractive first impression. Its ergonomic design and optimised key spacing make working and communicating a much more pleasurable and productive experience, with fewer errors and faster typing speeds.

anti-bacterial keyboard
Uses Silver Nano Technology to coat the keyboard with incredibly small, nano-sized silver ion powder, which makes it impossible for bacteria to live and breed. So, 99.9% of bacteria are successfully eliminated within 24 hours and the mini-notebook remains bacteria free for even longer, creating a more hygienic personal computing environment.

Genuine Microsoft Windows® XP Home
Packed with multimedia features, Windows XP Home Edition aims to unlock the full potential of your mini-notebook. Designed exclusively for home computing, Windows XP Home Edition puts the exciting experiences of the digital age at your fingertips. From digital photos, music and video to building a home network, Windows XP Home Edition brings you into the digital age with ease.

Intel® Atom™ processor
Incorporating Intel’s smallest and lowest power processor, the Intel® Atom™ processor, this is specifically designed to deliver an amazing Internet experience using mini-notebooks. Based on an entirely new micro-architecture, the Intel® Atom™ processor increases energy efficiency to extend battery life, whilst delivering enhanced mobile performance and increased system responsiveness on mini-notebook devices.

fully featured for simple data sharing
Enables simple data sharing with a host of advanced connectivity tools, including a 3 in1 memory card reader (SD, SDHC, MMC), 3 built-in USB ports, and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR* (Enhanced Data Rate), so you can easily transfer pictures, movies and data to and from virtually any modern camera, peripheral or audio-visual device.
*Based on factory specifications.

10.1" widescreen LED display
The N310’s 10.1" widescreen display is optimised to deliver a seamless visual experience on the mini-notebook and by using LED technology means that the screen is thinner, up to 33% brighter, and uses much less power than traditional LCD screen. Even the durability of the system is better, because there are fewer breakable parts.
