Matte panel, Touchpad is nice to use, Comfortable keyboard, Quiet, Wellcooled
Poor quality screen, No HD video playback, No HDMI out, Ctrl, Shift and arrow keys too small
In the netbook category, the NF310 gives decent battery life. It's a shame that Samsung has settled for such a poor quality screen however. The 1015PEM has the same configuration with a much better panel but lower battery life. ...

Sleek, curved design; large keyboard; HD screen; Bluetooth
Thicker chassis, dual-core Atom performance is lackluster, no HDMI
The curved, eye-catching Samsung NF310 is a bold 10-inch Netbook with some premium features for its price, but in the end it's not different enough to break out of the mold.
Good battery life, Matte and bright display, Usable performance, HD Ready resolution, Well manufactured, Quiet and cool, Good touchpad, Well laid out keyboard, Usable speakers

Dual-core Atom. High-resolution screen. Full-size keyboard. Wide touchpad and soft mouse buttons. Reasonably priced. Over 7 hours of battery life. Easy to upgrade memory.
Glossy top is a little dated.

Unique, stylish design, High-resolution display for netbook, Good keyboard and touchpad, Excellent audio quality, Wakes up and boots quickly, Runs cool
Battery life not as long as the competition, Lid picks up fingerprints, No chargeable USB ports
One of the best-looking netbooks yet combines sleek lines with a dual-core CPU and a high-res display.
Sleek design, 720p resolution, spill-resistant keyboard, Built to conserve power
Mediocre performance, Mouse button feels cheap, Lid shows smudges
This slick netbook sports a sharp design, high resolution, and a dual-core CPU. The price-to-performance ratio is good, and anyone looking for a good netbook deal will feel comfortable with this one. ...
