Samsung N145-JP02AU

The Samsung N145-JP02AU basic netbook needs fairly serious discounting if it's going to compete head to head with just about any modern netbook.


For $399 the Samsung N145-JP02AU basic netbook is not very good value for money. Netbooks that have Intel Atom N550s sellf for around $350, which means that the N145 has to be dramatically discounted if it has any hope of competing as far as value for money is concerned.

The Intel Atom N450 (1.66 GHz) processor makes it possible to surf the internet, manage spreadsheets, and other simple productivity applications. You’ll only be playing casual games due to the presence of only onboard graphics along with 1GB of RAM, but for a netbook that’s normal.

An unncessary compromise here is a 160GB hard drive, which while sufficient could easily have been a larger 250GB hard drive. No complaints with the 10.1in (1,024x600 resolution) screen though, as it allows for great overall portability while still letting you see what you’re doing. This netbook weighs 1.24kg and measures 264m wide, 188mm deep, and 34.7mm thick.
