Samsung N130 Netbook? by Chris4 on 03-10-2010 at 03:30 AM
Been trying to decide on a netbook for months...
Decided against getting an Acer due to problems that regularly arise with their systems (overheating, etc.)
After looking at Samsung netbooks I thought they looked pretty good..
Then just came across these Samsung N130's for £179.99 (other currency?)
Note: They're refurbished, come from well-know UK retailer Argos and includes with 12 month warranty.

Widescreen.
160GB SATA hard drive.
Shared graphics.
Intel GMA 950 graphics.
3-in-1 Media card reader - compatible with SD, SDHC, MMC.
3 USB ports.
Ethernet port.
HD sound.
Integrated webcam.
802.11bg/n wireless enabled.
Software includes: Adobe Acrobat Reader, Easy Battery, Display, Network and SpeedUp Manager, Samsung Magic Doctor and Update Plus.
Up to 6hours battery life (depending on usage).
Size (H)30.0, (W)24.0, (D)12.0cm.
Weight 1.25kg.
Would prefer the N140 with Bluetooth, 2 speakers, longer battery life and slightly better processor (around £250) but at £70 cheaper for the N130 I can't really complain.
Sooo I'd just like some yes/no's before getting it (quick though, 20 left at time of posting!
)Thanks

Why not go with an Asus 1005HA?
It has the same specs as the ones you posted, but it has more battery life (10.5 hours according to Asus) and bluetooth. Also, for some more money, you can get the one with the N280 processor which is slightly faster.
I have one and I'm generally happy with it.

exactly what i was going to suggest.

Mainly because of the price @ £240 which is £60 more than the one I suggested and as a student I need to get a good deal.
What about this Samsung NC10... same specs as Asus 1005HA & N130 (N270, 1GB RAM), plus has bluetooth, 6-cell battery, 10.2" screen, etc. ... for £189.99
Edit: Damn, the refurbished N130's I first posted about @ £179.99 dropped to £159.99 for the last few.
