Samsung GO N310-13GO 10.1-Inch Sunset Orange Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life Review

I’ve had the GO for about a month now and couldn’t be more pleased with it. It does what I want and expect it to do AND it’s small enough I can carry it to work in my lunch box if I want.
After clearing out or cleaning up some of the minimal pre-loaded software and downloading a couple of free-ware programs to help keep things in order, it has run flawlessly. At work, I wake it up, it powers up in just a few seconds, instantly recognizes the wireless connection and patiently waits for me to do whatever. Have not had any issues with the smaller keyboard, navigation (although a wireless mouse would probably make it easier for some folks), or the display. Battery life has been phenomenol. Right out of the box I tried to run the battery all the way down but after 2 days still over 20% remaining. Now at the end of the day I usually still have over 80% remaining.
I’m not going to hang a lot of accessories on this netbook because I want it to remain portable to the max. I am however thinking of getting a Bluetooth GPS unit for it to use on trips and such. Right now, for the programs I want installed (my planner, financial, word processing, and a couple of specialized programs), the stock memory is more than enough. I use a USB thumbdrive to transfer stuff to another computer if I need to.
So, overall a great little machine in my opinion. Looks good, solidly built from what I can tell, and it does what it is supposed to do.
I will also add that Amazon has been great through the whole process - ordering, shipping, tracking, etc, so thanks to them.
