Samsung N120 Netbook

The Washington Post (WaPo) had a chance to take a look at the Samusng N120 netbook, the next iteration of the widely lusted after N110.  Overall they had a lot of great things to say.  They summarize it nicely:

Overall the N120 has nice fit and finish, sporting trim lines and a logical layout that’s very similar to the N110’s. Even with a slightly larger chassis, it doesn’t have much room for a lot of extras. Still, the external ports–VGA-out, three USB ports, and microphone and headphone jacks–give you pretty much everything you’d want. The RAM slot is also readily accessible after you make a few turns of a Phillips screwdriver, and you can easily remove the battery by using two sliding latches. It’s a handsome, functional netbook.

They didn’t give the N120 a perfect score.  They knocked the battery life as being less than the model it’s replacing.  It still provided well over 5 hours of battery life in their tests.  While the N110 costs over $400, the N120 is available for $399 through Amazon.com.
