Samsung and New York Times team up on discounted netbook/digital subscription
We’ve gotten so used to telephone companies offering discounted netbooks to customers that sign up for a mobile broadband plan that it’s barely news anymore when a company adds a new model to its line of subsidized netbooks. But the New York Times isn’t a phone company. So I was a bit surprised to see […]
Samsung N310 “Go” review
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 […]
Samsung N310 “Go” get a bit more power for Singapore market
In the US, the Samsung Go (which is called the Samsung N310 in every other corner of the planet), has your basic netbook specs including a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 802.11b/g WiFi, and a 6 cell battery. But it turns out the version on sale in Singapore is a little more powerful, thanks to […]
Typing test: Bigger keyboards aren’t always better
As I mentioned the other day, I have a whole lot of mini-laptops sitting on my desk at the moment. So I decided that today would be as good a time as any to do a little keyboard face-off. I’d already kind of decided that of the netbooks I’m using this week the Samsung Go […]
How much difference does a high resolution display make?
I’ve been testing out a number of netbooks over the last few days, including the Samsung Go (pictured above, left), and Gigabyte TouchNote T1028X (pictured, right). Like most 10 inch netbooks on the market today, the Samsung Go has a 1024 x 600 pixel display. The TouchNote T1028X, on the other hand, has a 1366 […]
What my desk looks like today
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 […]
Samsung N310 “Go” unboxing – video
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. I’ll be testing […]
Samsung N310 unboxed, compared to NC10
While the Samsung N310 (or Samsung Go, as the company calls it in the US), features the usual netbook specs including an Atom CPU, Windows XP, and a 160GB hard drive, the netbook has a visual quality that sets it apart from the crowd. It comes in a handful of bright colors, and has a […]
Samsung Go (N310) reviewed, gets 8.5 hours battery life
The Samsung Go is a unique looking netbook with a rubberized (but not necessarily ruggedized) case that comes in a handful of bright colors. 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 […]
