Expensive for What it is, Dubious Colour Choice, Terrible Battery for a Netbook
The NS310 would have been a great netbook 5 years ago, unfortunately, it's not 2007 and it's not a great netbook now. It's an average netbook, but albeit quite expensive for what it is....
Sleek, stylish, shiny design, light weight and a useful backlit keyboard
Both battery life and performance are disappointing even for an Atom netbook
Good looking, but this is a case of style over substance. There are cheaper models that are better value, unless the design is really worth the price to you....
Netbooks may have been overtaken in popularity by the tablet in recent times, but they still have plenty to offer. The Samsung NS310 is a compact, stylish and well made netbook, with a 10.1-inch screen. The screen is bright and colourful, but it fails to match either the best netbooks or tablets. It does make the Samsung one of the smaller laptops on the market, however, and it's easily light eno
Power comes from an Intel Atom N550 processor, along with 1GB of memory. Running Windows 7 Starter, the Samsung NS310 is just about fast enough for browsing web pages, but there's plenty of lag apparent, especially if you're carrying out multi-tasking or are more accustomed to using tablets.

Samsung's NS310 gets some things right. The keyboard is good and its backlight remains a rare feature in the netbook world. However, it fails in one too many core respects. Battery life is poor, the Atom-powered processor doesn't excel above much cheaper ...
Distinctly average performance; poor battery life; garish colour won't appeal to all
The 10.1-inch Samsung NS310 netbook offers average performance for a fairly high price. The garish blue case will also make some people want to stab out their eyeballs....
Abstract: We take a closer look at the Samsung NS310 netbook and are reminded that looks can sometimes be deceiving.....Is the netbook dead? With all the recent attention on tablet devices, you could be forgiven for thinking so, however, if you're a netbook fan,...
If you’re wedded to the notion of a small under-powered netbook, the Samsung NS310 offers all the usual features, but with glitzier casework and shorter battery life. ...
