[...] The Samsung N210 is one of 4 new netbook with Intel Atom Pine Trail processors that Samsung introduced in January. We’ve already seen an Italian review of the Samsung N220, a similar model which isn’t available in the US. Now Matt at Netbook Reviews has posted an in-depth look at the Samsung N210. [...]

I bought my N210 exactly 1 year ago… I cannot live anymore without it! It’s just a little jewel and my constant companion. I can only suggest it to everyone looking for a netbook! )

Hi Albert,
I read your comment and then visited the four keyboards in my house: my Samsung N210, my Sony Vaio Laptop and my two desk tops. The desktop keyboards are two different models made by Microsoft.
What I found: the N210 had the quietest keyboard out of the four I compared. The N210′s keys have a very soft sound, not a distinct clicking, but not perfectly quiet either. I predict that your daughter’s peers would be tolerant of the sound, if not happy about it.
And as for my other bottom-line opinion… your daughter is paying to be taught and most modern students would be foolish not to input their notes into laptops during class. I think that teachers should have gotten over a little clicking in class years ago. After all, teachers work for you, not the other way around. I believe Stephen R. Covey’s outtake on “the golden rule” just might apply here – “he who has the gold makes the rules”. Good luck buddy! If you get a chance, I’d love to hear how it all turns out.

I am looking for a netbook for my daughter to use in her college classes. The classrooms are quite small and her typing could potentially annoy her teachers if it is too loud. How loud is the keyboard on the N210?
Thank you

I have had the Samsung 210 with the Atom 455 processor in it for 4 months now. I guess they updated the processor which allows for DDR3 Memory. I had a 2Gig chip DDR3 sitting around from another upgrade so I swapped it out immediately so I don’t know how the machine runs on 1 Gig. I upgraded to Win 7 Pro because I have an Action Pack & it didn’t cost me anything as well as I have Office 2010 Pro on the machine. I use this machine more than my 14 inch Dell with 4 gigs of RAM these days. Love the island or chiclet keyboard. It is a quick machine and the wireless is one of the best I have had. I spent $50 for an HP CD/DVD Rom drive to watch videos on the airplane. I get between 8 – 10 hours out of the battery. The next laptop I need I am going to look to see if Samsung has something I can use. I bought this at Sams for $320.

I bought my Samsung 210 three months ago and it has quickly become my constant companion, and I hard;ly boot up my desktop anymore. I am a writer and use it primarily for work, but it is also great for playing music and emails, web surfing, and all kinds of other pc work. I wouldnt use it for video editing but as a day to day machine it works fine. The battery life is long enough not to be an issue and I would recommend it to anyone. The only drawback is the slighty sharp edge which digs into you palm when typing sometimes.

I bought my N210 about a year ago and love it. I’m an author on the move and really appreciate the long battery life. I often sit in bed and type while my wife sleeps in and the lowest screen brightness setting is plenty bright. Even in daylight, I rarely use more than the 50% brightness setting. As for the prelaunched page mentioned in another review of this product, I find this “hyper” page annoying so I just turned it off (although it always puts up a small window on startup to tell me it is still waiting for me to use it – which I ignore and it goes away on its own.)
In all fairness to heavy Internet users, I do not use my netbook much online, but in the limited use it gets the performance is acceptable. The processor is much slower than my Windows XP desktop. I think I’ll upgrade my RAM to 2GB and that might speed things up some.
Also, I’m not a trackpad kind of guy and I immediately purchased a folding wireless mouse – which I love. I’ve done slideshows on my big screen – the netbook plugged into the screen and the mouse on the couch. The system works great.
In conclusion, I got my N210 to compose words, not to play. So far, the N210 is all I have imagined that my dream netbook should be.
If you want to read some of the words I’ve composed on my N210, please google my name or visit me at davisbigelow.blogspot.com

Stay away from this product. I bought it for my girlfriend six months ago and am just now getting it to work right. She gave up on it because, the first few times she tried to use it it immediately launched virus scans, OS updates, Samsung updates…the machine couldn’t be used for the first fifteen minutes it was turned on. I gradually worked thru all this, set the programs to defer launch, etc. and now it works OK but most people — I think — will not want to deal with this and I certainly would not if I had already paid $500 for this thing. Also, on startup, Samsung launches a page (not Windows) with weather, news, etc., kind of a pre-launch page. I don’t need this nor want it, and whenever I try to edit it (for example, to at least show the weather at my location, the characters I type come out as Korean, so I can’t change the location from Seoul to someplace closer to home.

Skip it.

Its admirable performance aside, the N210+ is a sleek-looking unit, brought low, in my opinion, by all the ugly advertising stickers on either side of the touchpad.

If not fixed to the underside of the unit then these should be removeable—but they’re not! Personally, I find their presence a particularly arrogant affront, as they are superglued on!

I feel like writing to them all—Samsung, Windows, Intel and whatever “dlna” is—that I shall be charging them all a monthly fee for the continued enforced advertising of their products.

When did they repeal the ancien law that says “he who pays the piper calls the tune”?

Hi Andrew, I have one of these and it is fantastic. Have since got one for my sister and for my mother as well. You can’t knock them AT ALL!

I presume any advances on this model will only make it better so just head down to your local dealer and buy this model or better and you will be 100% satisfied.

We are.

This really is the best computer I have ever purchased – it has not faults.
