Thread: Samsung N310

The N310 uses the same Intel Atom N270 processor as the NC10 and most other mini-notebook computers, and the same 1 GB of memory. Thatis certainly enough to cope with the Windows XP Home operating system that's installed. It's not going-to allow users to do anything processor-intensive such as video editing but that's not what this kind of computer is designed to do.

What it is designed for is working on the move, essentially, and in that regard the N310 excels. Like all 10in computers its easily portable and it can be slipped into most bags with little hassle and at 1.2kg it won't tire your arms if you're lugging it around all day. There is a 160GB hard disk for storage, which is more than enough for most people, but in common with other similarly small computers it doesn't come with a CD or DVDdrive.



The 10in widescreen display was clear but we found it a bit dull until we located the brightness-up button on the keyboard. Even then, at full brightness it felt a little washed out.As with the NC10 the keyboard fills the entire width of the case and is consequently well spaced-out and easy to type on.
