I chose this netbook over other brands for one reason; the non glossy matte screen. It is really difficult to find a non glossy screen on laptops these days. The non glossy finish does make a huge difference in readability. To see how much difference does it make, check out the image that I have uploaded in customer images section. It shows the samsung netbook screen and an ipad screen side by side. The netbook screen is bright and clear, but the ipad screen is barely readable with all the reflection.
I use this netbook primarily for internet surfing. With the chrome browser, this is the perfect internet device. I had to do some initial setup to get some decent performance out of this netbook. First of all I had to get rid of all the crapware this netbook comes loaded with. The crapware does really slow down the netbook, but is a reality with all netbooks. The crapware is what keeps the netbooks cheap
.
I got the windows 7 home premium upgrade and did a clean install from a usb flash drive. Two birds with one stone. A much more useful version of windows 7 plus a fast netbook free of any crapware. Make sure you do a clean install and not the anytime upgrade option. Anytime upgrade does not get rid of the crapware.
After the clean install you have to install all the necessary drivers from the samsung website. The only drivers you really need are the atheros wireless card driver, intel media accelerator driver and the realtek audio driver. Now this thing flies.

I have had this Samsung netbook for about two weeks now, and have not had any issues or disappointments. I did order an extra 1 gig of RAM with the computer and popped it in as soon as it arrived, so the speed is perfect for me. I can stream shows, surf the web, and whip up Word documents easily, and the netbook is slim and lightweight. The bright Bermuda Blue is cheery and unique. I love this little Samsung!
