We take a closer look at the Samsung NS310 netbook and are reminded that looks can sometimes be deceiving.....Is the netbook dead? With all the recent attention on tablet devices, you could be forgiven for thinking so, however, if you're a netbook fan...

Despite the fact that tablets are gaining ground as alternatives to netbooks, Samsung is still releasing new models. The NS310 is a stunning example. It’s a clamshell design that’s incredibly thin, with beautifully rounded edges and a smart metallic pa...
A beautifully designed netbook, but battery life isn't great. The NC110 is a better choice for £70 less...

Just because the netbook is fast becoming obsolete doesn’t mean its extinct. So while many would-be buyers of a small, cheap compact computer have turned their attention to arguably more suitable tablet PCs – well, almost exclusively the iPad – it real...
If you’re wedded to the notion of a small under-powered netbook, the Samsung NS310 offers all the usual features, but with glitzier casework and shorter battery life...

Will the tablet kill off the netbook? Probably not. Granted the netbook has never quite fulfilled its promise due to a combination of prices that went up with specifications that didn’t. Even so, I’ve yet to find a fondleslab that can truly replace my...
Slim, light and solid, if not particularly cheap, the NS310 isn’t a bad box of tricks for anyone wanting an ultra-portable mini laptop, but isn’t too worried about battery life. The searchlight-bright screen and glowing keyboard are useful additions t...

The netbook market is shrinking, thanks to the rise of tablets and the lowering price of smaller 11.6in and 13.3in laptops, but netbooks still have their place. We'd much rather tap out an email on a keyboard than an iPad touchscreen, so devices like the...
Backlit keyboard, Attractive interior, Decent keyboard...
Expensive, Underpowered...
Samsung's NS310 gets some things right. The keyboard is good and its backlight remains a rare feature in the netbook world. However, it fails in one too many core respects. Battery life is poor, the Atom-powered processor doesn't excel above much cheaper...

Although the Samsung NS310 is better looking than its sibling, the NC110, the build quality and usability aren't quite as good. When looking at netbooks we rate battery life as one of the most important features and, unfortunately, the NS310 isn't up t...

Netbooks continue to be a useful solution; however this one nearly did not get reviewed. It was slow to boot almost as slow to shut down and as for opening any applications, luckily I am known for my determination so read on...

Samsung were among the first manufacturers to make netbooks, with some of the best devices on the market. We had high hopes for the Samsung NS310 then, but sadly it's little more than a refreshed Samsung N310. The goodNetbooks may have been overtaken i...
Netbooks may have been overtaken in popularity by the tablet in recent times, but they still have plenty to offer. The Samsung NS310 is a compact, stylish and well made netbook, with a 10.1-inch screen. The screen is bright and colourful, but it fails to match either the best netbooks or tablets. It does make the Samsung one of the smaller laptops on the market, however, and it's easily light eno...
Power comes from an Intel Atom N550 processor, along with 1GB of memory. Running Windows 7 Starter, the Samsung NS310 is just about fast enough for browsing web pages, but there's plenty of lag apparent, especially if you're carrying out multi-tasking or are more accustomed to using tablets. The 1024 x 600 pixel resolution feels cramped, and you'll often find yourself scrolling sideways as well a...
Overall, the Samsung NS310 is a disappointment. It looks great, and with the netbook form factor having matured, we were hoping it would deliver on all fronts. It's not exactly cheap, however, and performance is poor, making devices like the Asus Eee P...

The rounded and colourful case of this sleek and shiny Samsung netbook makes it stand out from the pack, as do the backlit keyboard and light weight. But do the compromises Samsung has made to achieve the style and slenderness mean it's all flash and...
Sleek, stylish, shiny design, light weight and a useful backlit keyboard...
Both battery life and performance are disappointing even for an Atom netbook...
Good looking, but this is a case of style over substance. There are cheaper models that are better value, unless the design is really worth the price to you...

When we were young lads of twenty-two, or twenty- three in 2007, netbooks were cool, small, ultra portable devices you were proud to pull out of a rucksack and boast about on a train, or in a coffee shop. However, times have changed and the dowdy netbo...
Portable, Pretty good Keyboard...
Expensive for What it is, Dubious Colour Choice, Terrible Battery for a Netbook...
The NS310 would have been a great netbook 5 years ago, unfortunately, it's not 2007 and it's not a great netbook now. It's an average netbook, but albeit quite expensive for what it is...
