Samsung N120 - a great little machine!,

By	Julie Mattingly "Firedanser" (Sellersburg, IN) - See all my reviews

Just received my Samsung N120 today and I am in love. I did a ton of research on netbooks and it was a toss up in between the NC10 and the N120. I finally settled on the N120 based on the size of the keyboard. The keyboard is fantastic and has a great touch to it, i'm a touch typist and don't have any problems using the keyboard. I used a USB driver to install Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and to my surprise - it works quite well on this machine. I bought this mainly for travel for it's ultraportability to use with our SLR camera. The glossy screen is really not an issue to me as a previous reviewer had mentioned. The wi-fi has been fantastic - picking up 8-10 networks wherever i'm located. The sound doesn't blow you away, but it is definetely sufficient for a netbook. The battery came fully charged and so far i've been working with it all day installing programs, music, etc. and i've gotten about 7 hours thus far. FYI - I purchased the white version and the exterior is a nice matte finish unlike the NC10 which is glossy and picks up fingerprints easily. I do like the fact that the two USB ports on the left are active all the time and you can charge your cell/Ipod/etc even if the computer is off. Hopefully this helps anyone trying to decide on this great little machine! Enjoy!
