I like the Samsung N135
I purchased this Samsung N135 netbook mainly for school. I use this netbook primarily for taking notes in class and surfing the web. The battery life is amazing, I can get 6+ hours when this 6-cell battery is fully charged. But of course, that's after altering the brightness of the screen. Keep in mind, I'm only on the internet and typing notes to get the 6+ hours. If you're going to watch videos and all the other stuff, don't be expecting 6 hours. The battery fits perfectly into place, meaning it doesn't stick out unlike some other brands I've seen. That's a plus for me. I like the keyboard. However, the touchpad is a different story. It's smaller than a laptop, so that takes a while to get used to, especially with the two buttons. Maybe because of the constant use of the left button, it's easier to click. As for the right button, it's a bit stiff and takes a little more effort to press. The screen is matte which is what I prefer since it doesn't reflect as badly as glossy ones. At least that's what I think. And this is 10.2" so it takes a while to adapt to the stuff on screen since we're pretty used to bigger screen sizes. Since I use this for school, I have no problem opening internet browser, onenote, and excel. Sometimes I would even MSN messenger or AIM running. No problem running those at the same time too. However, when I wouldn't recommend watching videos on it unless you NEED to because I found it choppy once in a while. But then again, that might just be me. There's no color except for that blue and no bluetooth. It comes preinstalled with Windows 7 Starter. As you may or may not know, you can't personalize the wallpaper of the desktop. So those are some cons.
