Samsung, a company whose machines have consistently impressed us with solid keyboards, performance, and endurance have added two new machines to their “N” series of netbooks, the Samsung N130 and N140. Both new netbooks have 10.1 inch screens and, unlike many new netbooks, are already available in the UK.

Netbooks

Recently all the rage, netbooks are now facing stiff competition from the latest tech craze – tablet computers, and in particular the iPad. There are differences, of course; Apple machines no longer support Flash technology, and many people discover that trying to type on a virtual keyboard is not as easy as it seemed in the shop.

Many of the original range of netbooks were cheap looking, almost like toys, but they have grown into powerful and dependable machines and have been embraced by casual and business users alike. The N130 offers plenty of style without the high price tag, and sports a stylish design with a top specification. Samsung’s “Easy Resolution Manager” allows you to see the whole picture on your netbook and the picture quality is close to perfection; the N130′s 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio immerses you in games and movies with an accurate representation so you don’t have any black bands encroaching on your picture. » Read more: Samsung N130 Netbook Review
