The Samsung Go is an intriguing netbook. In other parts of the world, Samsung dubs this model the Samsung N310, but in the US, the company calls it the ‘Go” to emphasize its portability and mobility features. But honestly, there’s not much to set the Samsung Go apart from other netbooks in its class. It’s not the cheapest, it doesn’t…

Yeah, I’ve got a backlog of netbooks to review. The next week or two should be fun. I’d like to thank Samsung, Gigabyte, and Lenovo for sending me these models to review. The little guy in the back of the second row is my Asus Eee PC 1000H. That’s right, I’ve actually managed to hang onto the same netbook for…

When it rains it pours. Yesterday Gigabyte sent me a TouchNote T1028X convertible tablet style netbook to review. And today a Samsung Go (also known in some parts as the Samsung N310) arrived at my doorstep. I’m going to need to add another power strip under my desk if this keeps up.

In Europe it’s sold as the Samsung N310, but the company decided to give the Go a new name for the US market. The US version also ships standard with a high capacity 6 cell, 8850mAh…

Samsung may be calling its new netbook with colorful, rubberized cases the Samsung Go in the US, but it’ll always be the N310 to me. See how it rolls off the tongue? Anyway, the N310 isn’t shipping in the US yet, but according to the folks at online retailer Newegg, it should be available next week. And to prove it…
