Windows XP Home, Up to 9 Hours of Battery Life (6 Cell 8850mAh)
10.1" wide LED-backlit LCD display
Description
Life happens in places other than home. And life happens in colors other than shades of gray. That's why we created the Samsung Go™ netbook. The Samsung Go is a compact, lightweight netbook computer that's ready to go whenever, wherever. Feel like working at the park? You're there. Think you'd be more inspired at the lake or beach? Get going. Just want to work in the backyard? That's okay too. And since your life is fun and exciting, the Samsung Go netbook comes in four fun and exciting colors: Sunset Orange, Midnight Blue, Mint Blue and Jet Black. In fact, everything about the Samsung Go says fun and easy. Smoothly rounded corners simply look and feel better. A pebble-textured keyboard facilitates flying fingers, even those slippery from suntan oil. A spacious hard drive lets you bring along all your favorite music, photos, videos and movies. A 10.1" wide LED-backlit LCD display is brighter than ever. And with a 10-hour battery, the Samsung Go is always ready to go, go, go. Are you ready to go? The Samsung Go ntebook makes the journey more fun.

Superior Sound Quality, Ergonomics Jun 18, 2010 My husband and I bought two of these netbooks for video chatting during a long-term posting abroad, and we couldn't be happier with them. If you play movies, games, or video chat, this is the netbook for you. The sound quality is excellent for a netbook, and it even surpasses one of our Dell Latitude laptops. The superior sound was one of the main draws for us, as I use this to watch movies and TV while abroad.
SOME HIGHLIGHTS:
- Sleek design (rounded edges and very slim 6-cell battery pack)
- Excellent sound (two people can watch movies without additional speakers and hear comfortably)
- Good webcam (can use Skype or Google video chat without headphones or a microphone)
- Large, comfortable keypad (relative to other netbooks)
- Bright screen
- Long battery life (6-cell approaches 10 hours, very slim battery pack)
- Easily customizable screen resolution (I can quickly switch resolutions to accommodate viewing different websites or using certain applications)
- Large hard drive (functionally 143 GB)
- Bluetooth sync capabilities
- 3 USB ports (some netbooks have fewer) and SD card slot (download your digital pictures directly from the SD card)
Based on our experience and some of the other reviews, I'd recommend the Windows XP platform version of this netbook. We purchased the XP version and the netbook has good speed. Yes, it's XP, so there are some service and security compromises for the increased speed of Windows 7.
I honestly don't have anything negative to say beyond normal complaints related to all netbooks (i.e., no DVD or CD drive). The larger hard drive did allow me to bring a lot of my movies and music. We've each had the netbooks for about 5 months, and we haven't had any problems.

Great for travel! Mar 28, 2010 I received the Samsung GO for Christmas, exactly for the purpose of traveling with it. I love it!
I have it in blue. It's lightweight, very sturdy, has a good keyboard, and is quite fast. Its battery life is as advertized. I installed Open Office on it, browse with Firefox, and e-mail using Thunderbird. It has loads of memory and I installed Picasa for a quick tool with which to upload my photos to the Web.
I picked up a a portable DVD writer as a Lightning Deal a few weeks ago. Toshiba PA3761U-1DV2 Portable/Slim USB SuperMulti DVD-Writer
I won't always take it with me, but it has already proven handy.
I keep it in a sleeve, which easily slides in either my day pack or my carry-on. Case Logic PLS-9 Mini Laptop Sleeve for 7-Inch to 10-Inch Laptops (Blue)
I'm extremely happy with the set-up I now have.
Great netbook and good looking! Feb 12, 2010 As most netbooks are similar these days, this one definately stands out. The design is unique and modern. The product is great, comfortable keyboard, great graphics, great speakers, and great batterty life. The other big plus for us was that we could buy and install extra memory to keep it fast. You can't do that with many netbooks.
Great little computer Feb 10, 2010 I received this for Christmas from my husband and it's terrific. Seems to me that it does everything a large computer can do and it's so light and easy to carry around. I have a Dell desktop and laptop, but the laptop is now retired! I added another gig of ram, but didn't feel I really needed it for it to function. I've added many of my programs, including Tivo-to-Go, Sirius Radio, Total Recorder and they all work just great. Instead of paying for Word, I downloaded Open Office (free) which is fine for what I need. Battery is long lasting. I really like the outside covering as it feels very sturdy and is easy to hold with it's non-slip surface.
Is there anything I don't like about it? No can't think of anything.
I highly recommend it!
Love the Samsung Feb 08, 2010 This is a great little machine for travel and checking email--surfing the web. It may be a little slower than a regular laptop, but the size and lightweight features make it worth any lag time. I wouldn't want it as my only computer since I'm at the screen all day, but for travel and sporadic use, it can't be beat. Love the keyboard.
