If you want to get your hands on a solidly put together netbook with an amazing battery live and an easy-on-the-eye 10″ screen you could do worse than take a look at the Samsung N140 netbook.
Similar to the popular NC10, it features a good-looking matt-finish anti-glare screen and stylish chrome-effect edging that adds a touch of class to the netbook chasis.
However, in every other aspect the N140 is a marked improvement on its predecessor. Compared to the NC10’s 533MHz RAM the N140 sports 800MHz DDR2 RAM and its wireless card has been updated and is now 802.11n compatible.

As well as a solid spec the N140 is also a very comfortable netbook – the keyboard is as responsive as earlier Samsung’s netbooks and while packed into a compact space is still pretty easy-on-the-fingers over prolonged use.
The biggest selling feature of the N140 is its massive 11 hour battery life which makes it an ideal travelling companion for long-haul journeys and can manage a full working day away from the socket.

Conclusion
You might be disappointed if you were looking to Samsung for a massive leap forward in the design and finish of their netbook range – but the refinements they have delivered in terms of technical specification and battery life make the N140 hard to ignore. The N140 is a high-quality utilitarian netbook that we have no reservations in recommending and is sure ot be another hit from Samsung’s already solid range of netbooks.
