Purchased Samsung N128 Mini Laptop

Published by: Alex George

I purchased a Netbook from Samsung(Samsung N128) two weeks ago, and I think it is time to write a review of it.

It is travel-friendly because of its small size, and nowadays I need to travel a lot. While on a journey, it is difficult to carry my laptop because of its size. So, I planned to go for a mini laptop.

I found many products that suit my travel needs.

After checking different brands, I decided to buy Samsung N 128. You must be interested in knowing my experience with it.

Let me share my review of the Samsung N 128 netbook with you. So, you can find out if this product is suitable for you. The below picture shows what it looks like.

We are having trouble playing this video right now. Please try again or select another content.

Samsung N128 Mini Laptop Review

It is working better than I expected. At first, I failed to find a WiFi adapter driver compatible with Windows 7. The setup disc has only the Windows XP version of the Wireless adapter driver.

I downloaded the latest version of the wireless adapter driver from the manufacturer's website. I must say, the speaker volume is lower than I expected. It has a 1.5-watt speaker. The volume is low, and I need a headset to hear the sound properly. The next point I want to point out is about battery backup.

The shop owner promised me an 8-hour battery backup, but when I checked, it was just 6 hours only. Besides this speaker volume issue, I am satisfied with the Samsung N 128 netbook.

    The battery backup of Samsung N 128 I mentioned here is working backup with full potential. But I need to add one thing...

    * When I run this Samsung netbook in Windows 7 ,I am failed to see a good battery backup. In Windows 7 I am only getting around 4 working hours (Battery backup).

    I didn't test yet to to find its sleep time battery backup.

    Sansung N 128 is available in Indian market. It may cost around Rupess 14000 in local stores(In eBay India the cost is 13900 only).

    You can watch regular movies including .avi but you cannot run high definition videos in Samsung N 128 netbook.

    Speaker volume is low and I am using an external speaker to over come this while in my room. When I am in tour I adjust with regular headset.

    Hi Ashok,

    I have this netbook (Samsung N128) for last 6 months and still now don't have any complaint. Battery life I am getting is 6 hours and work perfectly. I heard newer versions have much more battery backup time (even up to 11 hours).

    Hi All,

    I own this netbook since Dec-2009. I found it is fine and keyboard is better.

    I am having ubuntu netbook remix 9.0. Once I tried windows 2003 server also. The performance is not bad. Satisfactory.

    As for as audio output is concerned, I am not happy as its volume is very low. I have to attach an external speaker.

    Other than the audio output, this is one of the most suitable netbook for business computing and browsing.

    Regards

    Many Individuals have mistaken these Netbooks to the high power laptops/notebooks. The laptops have a better performance but also keep in mind that the cost is much higher than these Netbooks. The Netbooks are the next generation of portable devices for all types of individuals. For more information check my review on the several Netbooks.
