Samsung N130 netbook review

Battery life for the six cell 40 watt engine was a reasonable three hours and 22 minutes for heavy use with light use impressing us at dead on six hours. While three hours might not seem much for business users who live and breathe their machines, it's worth remembering that netbooks were never designed to replace their 'day-job' kit.

With an average price from retailers of about £235 we think this is a good buy. It doesn't have us bouncing off the walls with excitment and we don’t pretend that it is the prettiest netbook out there, but it does have a lot to offer nonetheless.

But this machine is no eyesore, comes with average test scores that even some more expensive netbooks cant achieve and seriously offers a bit of a bargain as long as you don’t expect too much of netbooks in general.

For a regular business user who needs a reliable, responsive machine on a budget you can’t go far wrong with the Samsung N130.
