Samsung GO N310-13GMB 10.1-Inch Mint Blue Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life Review

Samsung GO N310-13GMB 10.1-Inch Mint Blue Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life

Thanks to everyone who posted product reviews! They were invaluable to me in purchasing this netbook as well as a SnapScan 1500 scanner and NeatWorks software for receipts.

I purchased the Samsung GO after spending hours reading reviews here of many of the netbook models. I orginally wanted an HP, then looked at ASUS, and others. I wanted a five-star reviewed netbook with XP and a comfortable keyboard. The Samsung was priced higher than I wanted to spend, but I got a brand new “used” one on Amazon for 4 total.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook (Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life) Review

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook (Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life)
We bought this netbook before going on a trip to the UK. We wanted to be able to watch Amazon On Demand videos on the plane and on our train trips and also be able to check email, help plan our day to day itinerary and have a place to offload the days pictures from our cameras.

Sony VAIO VPC-W211AX/P 10-Inch Pink Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life Review

Sony VAIO VPC-W211AX/P 10-Inch Pink Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life
I bought this netbook for my wife and the two deciding factors were the high-resolution screen (1366×768) and its build quality. I checked out a lot of other netbooks and most have lower resolution screens and are built with too much plastic that makes them feel cheap. This Vaio is solid - it feels like a mini version of Apple’s classic 12″ Powerbook (without the heft). The screen is also fantastic in its brightness and clarity. It’s perfect for movie viewing, web browsing and even book reading. The clarity makes reading a Kindle book a breeze even though horizontal mode isn’t the ideal way to read an electronic book. The sound is excellent when using headphones but the built-in speakers are worthless, which seems to be typical of most notebook computers.

Sony VAIO VPC-W212AX/WI 10-Inch White Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life Review

Sony VAIO VPC-W212AX/WI 10-Inch White Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life
this is my 5th vaio. last week i had the 211 which unfortunately for me i got the defective wifi so had to send it back, spend extra i shouldn’t have to spend but amazon customer service is the best always! so i got this instead & i couldn’t be more happier. the size, the color (love the light green shade on the keyboard), the weight, and even the little brown bag that comes with it. it could’ve been perfect except for the large capacity battery. when it’s just sitting on my desk it doesn’t bother me but when i put it in my vaio case to take out, i really don’t like the bulging battery. i wish it is an option to buy a standard one & a large capacity. i don’t care much for the 8 hour battery life. this vaio reminds me of my TR except with the TR it has the cdrom. the windows starter i don’t mind much, will upgrade eventually. also the memory. however, i am going to get the standard battery asap if i could find one. sony website doesn’t have it anymore.

Toshiba Mini NB205-N330WH 10.1-Inch Frost White Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Toshiba Mini NB205-N330WH 10.1-Inch Frost White Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
I ordered a mini NB205 with atom N280 Intel processor. It has 250G hard drive, built in web camera, several USB2 slots, an SD slot for the digital camera card, a full size keyboard, runs Win 7 starter, and is black, for about 0. I have had it for 2 months, and have been traveling most of that time, though I had a week to set it up before we left. I am very satisfied with it, especially it portability and functionality. I don’t do graphics-intensive stuff. I do WiFi email, some web surfing, Office stuff, Skype, some Bible software, and save my pictures. The only thing I am not very satisfied with is the sound quality of Skype calls, but I expected that based on reviews I read before buying it. Probably I would be happy with a headset, but then my wife cannot join the conversation with grandchildren. I still have well over 200G of space on my HD. I charge it for an hour or so in the morning after I get up, and that is usually enough for use throughout the day. I have had not problems with it. I figured out how to load software from DVDs via my laptop which is part of my home network. I have not noticed any limitations with the OS; my other PCs run XP. I recommend it for anyone who has a similar use profile.

Sony VAIO VPC-W111XX/P 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - 2.5+ Hour Battery Life Review

Sony VAIO VPC-W111XX/P 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - 2.5+ Hour Battery Life
this netbook is definitely something we purchased for plenty of reasons. one was cause its a Sony. Secondly it works well over wireless with the playstation and the screen size and resolution is far superior than other netbooks on the market.

it’s definitely more expensive than the other netbooks but its definitely worth it!!!

  • 1GB of pre-installed RAM
  • 160GB HDD & built-in A2DP Bluetooth technology
  • Microsoft Windows XP Home, 3 Cell Battery

Acer AO532h-2223 10.1-Inch Matrix Silver Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life Review

Acer AO532h-2223 10.1-Inch Matrix Silver Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life
I ordered a blue Acer 532h netbook to travel with and that is what I doing with it right now. It works pretty well and it seems to be holding up against the gentle rigors of my easy paced travel. First, the dorky stuff.

Yes, the keyboard is small and it does take getting used to.

Yes, the glossy exterior doesn’t hide any finger prints.

Yes, the battery does last between 6 and 8 hours.

Gateway LT2118u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook - Over 10 Hours of Battery Life Review

Gateway LT2118u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook - Over 10 Hours of Battery Life
I looked at a Gateway because of one my wife has. She has a Gateway laptop that is now 5 years old (bought 2.20.05) and works perfect. For the past three years it has been on 6-8 hours EVERY night, as she streams internet radio while sleeping. It is used for basic email, internet,etc for perhaps 30 minutes a day. It still has the install of XP on it that it came with. The battery of course is about gone, but otherwise it is still perfect. Amazing!..
