    So much lighter than my Dell V ...Michael Schauer -- 23/06/09

    So much lighter than my Dell Vostro 1300. Great battery life. Case appears to be quite sturdy. Available at Ebay US under A$700 with 2GB memory.

Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Clean design
  • Full sized keyboard
  • Better than usual speakers
The bad:
  • 802.11n and gigabit Ethernet would have set it apart in the specs department
  • Flipped Windows/right-click keys
The bottomline:

Samsung's netbook is an excellent entry into the Australian market, and an incredibly tempting buy for anyone looking in this space.

Editors’ rating:

9/10

RRP: AU$899.00
