Of the many netbooks released by Samsung recently, the
N130
is, on paper, the least interesting.
It shares the 10in screen,
Intel
Atom N270 processor and 1GB of memory with most of the other computers in
its class.
The battery, which juts out of the bottom of the computer slightly, is larger
than average, which gave our test N130 an impressive battery life of around four
hours in general usage.
It also comes with the very useful Samsung power management software that
allows the user to decrease the speed of the processor, quality of the graphics
and brightness of the screen to save power when the computer is not plugged into
the mains.
The screen itself was a decent model with anti-glare protection to counter
reflections under bright light, while the keyboard, which stretches the width of
the case, was a little small for our liking and shallow.
Also, the trackpad was too small for our fingers, although that is something
shared with most similar computers.
It’s well-designed, though, with a sturdy body and nice curved edges.
Overall, the N130 is a good laptop although it doesn’t stand out.
