I bought the N130 as a replacement for my broken laptop. I am a student so price was a large factor.
I opted for a Samsung because of the reliable name but there are a few issues although some positives as well.
The battery life on this notebook is exceptional you can watch 2 films without plugging it in on a medium brightness.
The size and weight even for a netbook is very good and it is very easy to type and use as a laptop. It's also very easy to connect up to bigger screens and use the dual view option using a VGA cabel which on the small screen is very helpful.
The problem I have with it is the constant crashing and freezing and general just frustration of constantly turning it off and on again.
I only paid £220 but the Samsung above my dad has was only £50 more and i would suggest that is definitely the better option.
I's true you do get what you pay for and paying a little bit more is the better option.
