| Customer Reviews: The leader in the crowded N450 pack. March 5, 2010 Peter J. Murray (MI USA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've rolled out three of these netbooks for work, the following are my observations of this model.
Pros
+ Virtually silent fan. I've set up an Acer netbook that had a fan that sounded like a mosquito so the quiet fan on this model is a plus.
+ Great construction quality. The plastics are very high quality.
+ Excellent keyboard. The keys are the right size (especially the right shift key which is a problem with other brands), and it's very easy to type on with just a minimal adjustment period.
+ Matte screen (personal preference, but many of my users prefer matte screens as they are easier on the eyes and you can use matte screens outdoors without too much difficulty).
Cons
- Setup is a chore, the built in software wants to partition the drive upon first boot, so be prepared to let it sit and do setup for at least an hour after first boot. This might be confusing for some, and annoying for most people.
- There is a lot of Samsung programs that you may want to remove after the setup is complete.
- No recovery disk, just a recovery partition.
- Atheros wireless card had difficulty connecting to 5ghz N networks (both a Meru commercial network and a Linksys 5ghz wireless network). Seems to work fine on 2.4ghz G networks.
Neutral
= Same old 1024x600 screen. I'd love this in a 1366x768. This netbook does allow you to run the screen at 1024x768 by crunching the pixels slightly, which helps, but I'd rather see a 1366x768 option.
= Windows 7 Starter. I'm glad the world is moving on from XP, but not being able to change the wallpaper without a third party utility seems like a petty feature to disable.
General comments
* Microsoft Security Essentials is an excellent anti virus program, and it's free. Combine with Malware Bytes you are very well covered.
* The Samsung N150 is probably the best choice of this generation of Atom N450 1024x600 screen netbooks.
* I reformat ours by backing up the security certificate and the product key and using a universal Windows 7 boot disk.
