Samsung N150 netbook

Laptop or netbook is a necessary item for everyone nowadays. I am using this Samsung N150 netbook at the moment for almost 6 months now. There are several reasons that makes me fall in love with.

Design

The N150 Plus (N150-11) makes a good first impression with its glossy lid. It’s an attractive deep red and black with a subtle dot pattern, though it picks up fingerprints in a hurry. The N150 is also available in multiple colors for less cash, including Bermuda Blue, Gloss Black, Flamingo Pink, Matte Blue, and white. In case you are curious, I am  personally using Gloss Black.

Heat

After playing a video at full screen for 15 minutes, temperatures of 81 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded on the touchpad, 87 degrees at the center of the keyboard, and just 84 degrees on the underside in the middle, all of which are acceptable. However, the back left area by the vent reached up to 99 degrees, which caused a little discomfort when the N150 Plus was in our lap.

Display and Audio

The N150 Plus’ 10.1-inch, 1024 x 600-pixel LED-backlit matte display offered bright colors and deep blacks despite the lack of a glossy finish. We used the netbook in the sun and didn’t notice any glare. We’re also glad that there were no distracting reflections when watching dark scenes in movies or TV shows. Unfortunately, viewing angles weren’t very wide. 

Keyboard and Touchpad

The 2.5 x 1.4-inch touchpad is around the same size as other N series netbooks, but it feels cramped. That’s because the default settings for the scrolling areas on the pad take up more area than necessary, and users constantly found themselves accidentally scrolling or jumping to different places in browser or word processor windows. Nevertheless, I am so use to this type of keyboard and it's no longer a problem for me.
