So far, so awesome! Aug 28, 2009
By Sam Armstrong I should preface this review by stating that before purchasing this netbook, I was not familiar with netbooks nor that familiar with the Windows operating system (I am a Mac nerd). My need for something cheaper and smaller lead me to purchase the Samsung Go. Truth be told, after I pressed the "purchase" button, I panicked! Is the screen going to be too small? Is the keyboard going to feel cramped? I would be using this for taking notes in class, but would I be able to get use to it after all my years of using a 17 inch Macbook Pro? A sigh of relief swept over me as I finished my first full day of classes. 4 hours of typing later and my hands felt as comfortable on the keys as if I had been using the keyboard for years. The screen was more than adequate for viewing (and my eyes are far from perfect). In fact, as I type this review on the Samsung Go, my Macbook Pro is slowly gathering cobwebs! I do miss my Mac OS...but am slowly getting use to Windows. As for the build of the system, it feels INCREDIBLY sturdy compared to other netbooks I have handled in stores. As a side note, I am a Neflix addict and the "Watch Instantly" feature is seamless on this little guy! So far I have yet to hit a snag that has me running back to my full size laptop!

Nice try for style, some drawbacks Sep 24, 2009
By Dr. P. Timms I bought this version of the 310 while on holiday in the US as it is considerably cheaper there than the UK. Apart from price I was attracted by the 6 cell battery which extends the otherwise average battery life to a good 8 hours or so. But .... the larger battery does add to the weight (1.36Kg or 3 lbs) and means that there is a substantial bulge along the underside at the back, making it less sleek and portable than the standard version with the shorter battery life. The screen is clear and bright but quite reflective, making it a bit difficult to see in bright environments. The keyboard is pretty much perfect for me - no problems, but then I have quite small fingers. Performance is pretty much what you would expect as its innards are pretty much netbook standard components. Having said all this, the longer battery life really does make a huge difference to its useability. I find that I am using it far more than a previous notebook because i'm not having to charge it up all the time. So, the longer battery life makes a difference even if you are not taking long flights or train journeys. Am I happy with it? Pretty much, especially for the price. As a closet style victim I do still get a kick out of the lovely orange, slightly rubbery case. But I'm still looking forward to a 1 kg 12" ultra-portable with an SSD drive and decent performance that's under $1000. Or maybe I could get my work to buy me a Sony - don't be silly I work for the NHS!

Light and Sweet Oct 11, 2009
By dogmother This is my second netbook and I'm very impressed with this nice little machine. My first was an early ASUS EEE 8.9"- hard for me to type on and the screen was not so easy on my middle-aged eyes. Although this Samsung has similar specs to the ASUS, it is a much better performer. The LED screen is crisp and easy to see. It runs quick and loads web pages nice and fast. The design is both thoughtful, sturdy and of very high quality. Overall, a hassle-free, easy to use and transport netbook. I don't think the battery life is really nine hours- but I had the machine on or in sleep mode all day and didn't come close to running the battery out. While price may be a bit higher than others, it's worth it to have a painless small computer. Also, I got my Samsung last week- the price has already begun to move downwards. So look for your best deal.

ultra-portable Oct 05, 2009
By Leslie Young If portability is what you're looking for in a netbook, this is what you'll enjoy about the Samsung Go.
True, it's not as powerful as a desktop or most notebooks, but that's the trade-off for having one of the lightest, most long-lasting (battery-life really is about nine hours, from real-life use), and most stylish netbooks out there.
I write my books on this baby, and I also read other people's manuscripts on this machine. As a bonus, even with a whimpy Intel integrated graphics processor, I can still play Quake2 on this computer (I'm old-school that way).
I didn't feel like buying another copy of Microsoft Office, so I downloaded OpenOffice from Suns. It works great with the netbook.
With Google Chrome OS coming out next year, I'm pretty sure that's when I'll upgrade the Windows XP that was pre-installed to Chrome OS.

Wonderful portable computer! Jan 07, 2010
By C. Quinn I've only had my Samsung GO for a couple of weeks, but already I'm in love! This portable computer is surprisingly powerful. The rubberized cover is scratch-resistant, and I love the bright colors. I was worried about typing on this small keyboard, but so far have had few problems; it is certainly more comfortable to type on than other netooks I've tested out. I upgraded the memory to the 2GB which has made a difference when I have multiple programs open. Though I only purchased this machine to make mobile computing possible, I find myself even using it at home because it more than matches my old laptop's performance. If you are looking for a netbook, I highly recommend the Samsung GO!
