Purchased this as a gift for a gentleman in his 70's that is wheel-chair bound... He loves it!
It took a while for him to become accustomed to the mouse pad, it's operation, and the on/off switch location...
I don't think he'll ever learn what the various LED's mean... as long as it works, he's happy!
After a month in service, he's happy, so I'm happy! -- So Far, So Good

Love it. Lightweight and excellent battery. Mat finish screen is great when working in sunlight. 2megs of ram was a recomended upgrade and that is good idea, especially for public wi-fi speeds. Not a real fan of windows 7, but is useable. -- samsung nb30

I do tech support for a living, and often find that I need to have a computer of my own (rather than use a client's PC) when I am onsite fixing problems. My previous portable notebook was a 7-pound Sony which really had way too many bells and whistles for what I usually needed -- that is, just a basic PC, as light and as rugged as possible. When I saw the Samsung NB30, I knew I'd found what I was looking for.

The NB30 is a sweet little machine -- it is fairly speedy, it has great battery life, it's light (even with the AC adapter in my backpack, the entire package is less than 4 pounds), and it's got a "corduroy" outer case which is fingerprint- and scratch-resistant. The Windows 7 Starter operating system was easily upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate (since I do tech support, I need full access to the entire operating system) using Windows Anytime Upgrade, and upgrading the RAM from 1 GB to 2 GB (highly recommended) took only a couple of minutes.

If you're looking for a netbook, I highly recommend the NB30. -- Awesome Netbook

This is a really great netbook. Tough and durable. Swapped out the drive with a OCZ SSD drive and upgraded the RAM to 2GB and this thing is a speed demon!! -- Netbook Rocks!!

This item is small in size which makes it easy to take along on trips.
It has good battery life and features-built-in webcam & lots of ports.
