Samsung N210

By now, if you’re buying a netbook, you know what you’re getting: All the models of a given generation are the same on the inside. So with the internals out of the decision tree, how do you choose which of dozens of near-identical netbooks is worthy of your purchase? Sure, the old standby differentiator of battery life still applies. But how about aesthetics? Can you actually choose a netbook based on design? We think so. The Samsung N210’s internals could be those of any current-gen non-Ion netbook—a 1.66GHz Atom N450 Pine Trail processor, 1GB RAM, a 250GB 5,400rpm hard drive—but it’s what’s on the outside that counts. The device has an embossed cream-color lid covered with a clear plastic coating. The interior is all matte white; and with its chrome edge trim and crisp gray lettering, it’s almost retro-futuristic. The keyboard puts every other netbook keyboard to shame—the chiclet-style keys aren’t cramped at all and the keyboard doesn’t feel mushy. We could type on it all day. The track pad’s multitouch capabilities help make up for its small size, and the LED-backlit screen is readable even at low brightness levels. Cranked up, the backlighting is quite bright for an office environment.

Samsung N210

The Samsung N210, a Best Buy exclusive, is one of the better-looking netbooks we've seen, with a shiny white top, sleek chrome accents, and a comfortable keyboard. Though it isn't great at playing video, it does have fairly decent speakers. It also features an instant-on capability that allows you to get online without having to wait for Windows to start up. Our review model, priced at $379 (as of March 29, 2010), features a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 250GB hard drive, and it runs Windows 7 Starter Edition. It also has a 10.1-inch matte display, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a built-in Webcam and microphone. The Samsung N210 is housed in a pearl white chassis; the top has a subtle textured pattern underneath a glossy finish. The interior features a matte white finish, with a chrome accent band around the edges. Three USB 2.0 ports (two on the right and one on the left) are available; one of the ports is a sleep-and-charge plug, which allows you to charge USB devices even while the computer is in sleep mode. The N210 also has a VGA out-port, an ethernet connection, and microphone and headphone jacks.

Samsung N210

The Samsung N210 ($380 street) is not the flashiest netbook, nor does it pile on the most features in its category. Nailing down basic fundamentals is what makes it a viable contender in this cutthroat market. It maintains an excellent user experience, which includes a comfy keyboard, a big-enough touchpad and mouse buttons. Its decent performance scores and attractive pricing are surefire ways to build a strong fan base. The N210 is clad in shiny white plastics, coated over a brick pattern that's only visible if you look closely. Netbooks like the Asus EeePC 1008HA ($430.00 Street, ) and the Sony VAIO VPC-W11XX ($500.00 Direct, ) are made up of white plastics as well, and I've found that all of them are extremely resilient to finger prints and smudges. Metals, such as those found on the HP Mini 5102 ($400.00 Direct, ) and the Nokia Booklet 3G ($600.00 Street, ), have similar anti-smudge characteristics, as does the textured lid found on the Editors' Choice Toshiba mini NB305-N410 ($400.00 direct, ). At 2.9 pounds, the N210 is as heavy as the Toshiba NB305 (2.9 lbs) and HP 5102 (2.8 lbs). The 10-inch widescreen and its 1,024-by-600 resolution are as generic as every other netbook.

Samsung NP-N210-JA02US

Samsung is not the first name that comes to mind, at least in the U.S., when we think of laptops or Netbooks, but the company has long had a sizable presence outside of the U.S. in the PC market. Over the past year or so, a handful of Samsung models have made it stateside, and we've even liked a few of them. At the very least, Samsung's NP-N210-JA02US Netbook has a slightly different look and feel than the Dell, HP, and Asus systems we're usually surrounded by have. Its slightly larger chassis gives it a more traditional full-size laptop feel, rather than the somewhat awkward compact designs found on most other Netbooks. A potentially bigger bonus is its matte screen, which is a rarity in laptops of any size. If screen glare drives you crazy, it may be well be worth spending a little more money for this one. Still, there's nothing special about the Samsung's components or performance. At $379, it's much more expensive than other retail-specific Netbooks we've seen--and if you search around a bit online, you could find similar specs for as little as $299. Most Netbooks are designed around a shallow body depth, with skinny touch pads and keyboards that spread out horizontally.

Samsung N210

Samsung’s N210 continues the company’s tradition of creating solid netbooks with good keyboards, excellent displays, and above average audio. What makes this $379 system stand out is its distinctive, scratch-resistant finish and an instant-on feature with a cool widget-based interface. However, the competition from Acer and ASUS is heating up, with both manufacturers offering long-lasting netbooks under $300. We mostly like this machine, but is it worth the relatively high price tag?The 2.8-pound N210 has a similar design to previous N series netbooks but with some welcome aesthetic flourishes. A textured pattern of small rectangles with rounded edges embedded in the pearl white lid (also available in black) is covered by a clear shell. This multi-layered treatment adds a sense of depth while warding off scratches. We’re also pleased that the N210 eschews fingerprint smudges both on the lid and the matte deck under it. The transparent shell also creates a border around the bezel, and viewed from the side, echoes the shape of the chrome strip that borders the keyboard deck. Unfortunately, the power button is still a slide-switch on the front lip of the system; we prefer an easier-to-find button. In addition, SD cards still stick out a half an inch when inserted into the slot on the front edge.

Product Survey: Netbooks

Showing its family pedigree, the N210 has the same refined, elegant design that appeals to as wide a range of users as its predecessors. The N210 is a great example of an attractive product that doesn't rely on acres of glossy plastic. The inside is made up entirely of matte surfaces, which is great as it avoids both unwanted reflections and the appearance of dust and greasy fingerprints. The outside is no less attractive, with a gorgeous grey plexiglass cover. Fingerprints are of course more obvious here, but it's only fair to acknowledge the progress Samsung has made: the exterior of the N210 is much harder to get dirty than the glossy black found on the N140. The uses small flat chiclet keys measuring 13.5 x 13 mm and they're pretty responsive. Some people will like the look and feel, but others won't. Samsung has struck a good compromise between robust keys and quiet typing. We're glad to see that some keys, like Ctrl, Alt and Shift are larger than normal, which makes using them for keyboard shortcuts much easier. The multitouch doesn't get left behind either. It's one of the best we've ever seen on a netbook. Moving your finger across it is smooth, fast and accurate, and using it is an excellent experience.
