Samsung N150 10.1-Inch Netbook (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)HI,
Back in May of 2009, i purchased my first Samsung Netbook, the N120. I purchased it because of the keyboard size and alleged battery life. I have been happy with it ever since. Battery life is as advertised.
I needed to get a netbook for my wife, and after much shopping, i decided that the Samsung N150 would be a good choice.
Same Keyboard size ratio, great battery life, and some updated features
1. Windows 7 starter edition
2. Pinetrail Processor
3. Same great battery life
Samsung has also made some good improvements with the mousepad. You can scroll, pinch & zoom, and rotate all with the mousepad.
The updated design is similar to the older n120, but nicer.
They moved the power button down to the front which is ok.
one of the USB ports stays powered on to charge your phone or device even during hibernation.
Keyboard is the same spacing and size, but now they are using chiclet style keys. Seems good. My wife may give me more updates on this later.
So far, so good!

126-KEY Inet Multimedia Access Keyboard with 22 Hot Keys Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just bought this keyboard at a brick-and-mortar place, and frankly, it pales in comparison to even the cheapest keyboards I've ever owned. I probably should have just come here the first time around, but I was already out and grabbed the first multi-media keyboard that jumped out at me. Bad move. My fault. Won't happen again.
For starters, it feels hollow - like there's nothing really in there to justify its chunky look and feel. To me, it feels like it's sitting up way too high from the surface of my desk, and it's even worse when the "legs" are popped up from the back. The keys are very responsive, which I like, but they're loud enough to let anyone in the house know that you're typing, which is where that 'hollow' feeling really becomes evident. Furthermore, the backspace key is tiny (about the size of the regular letter keys), while the Enter key is huge. This bugs me to no end, and throws my fingers off a full key every time I go to hit something in that general vicinity of they keyboard; but some may prefer that sort of layout. Similarly, if you look a the image of it, you'll see that the home, end, page up and down, insert and delete keys are in two columns rather than two rows (like most good keyboards are), and while I do realize this is yet another matter of preference, the latter two should really be flip-flopped for the sake of convenience. I keep hitting "insert" and overriding text, rather than deleting it, simply because logic dictates that the delete key should be closest. (I never use insert for any reason - and I don't know very many people who do - while I use delete quite frequently.)
Lastly, and probably most importantly, given the nature of the keyboard, the multimedia keys don't even work. I was able to pull up my mp3 player by pressing the music key, but then it wouldn't even play when I hit the play key (and for the record, yes, I installed the software that came with it, with no problems in the process of doing so). I also tried opening My Computer using that key, and it worked. But really, if it's not going to play the music, then it has automatically failed to do what it's supposed to do.
As the last person said, if you can afford something better, I highly recommend that you skip over this one in favor of one that not only works like it's supposed to, but is also more user-friendly.
