A rehash of a six-month-old netbook, with little additional appeal.

Samsung's N210
Source: AnandTech Archive.org version
At the end of the day, the insides of the Samsung N210 aren't likely to inspire, and they weren't supposed to. Netbooks just aren't exciting kit where hardware and performance are concerned, though their purpose may need to be made more explicitly clear. Samsung loads the N210 with all kinds of irritating bloatware (hello McAfee!) and utilities that it just doesn't need; the hardware inside is already beleagured enough without having to suffer through loading all that extra crap.

We expect any Maximum PC reader to be able to strip out the bloatware and nagware that comes with a new PC (and may we suggest PC Decrapifier to help with that?). But we don’t appreciate Samsung’s cluttering up the OS install. On the one hand, the N210’s design is fantastic and its performance is exactly what we’d expect. And we appreciate the (albeit quirky) Hyperspace instant-on OS. But the less-than-stellar battery life and bloated Win7 Starter desktop lose the N210 some points in our book.

Samsung's N210, why it's one of the best netbooks around
Source: PC Authority Archive.org version
The Samsung's appeal slips a little when it comes to the 10.1in screen, however: its matte finish reduces reflectivity but also adds a grainy quality to images. Combined with muted colour reproduction, it's enough to leave the N210 lagging behind the best. Despite this, though, the N210 makes a worthy successor to the superb N110. The combination of gargantuan battery life, slick new looks and good ergonomics make it one of the best netbooks around.

Samsung has just added to its burgeoning netbook range with the N210 -- not to be confused with the Samsung N120. This is a typical 10-incher with a 1.6GHz Atom N450 CPU, 1GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive. The N210 doesn't do an awful lot different to its rivals, but that doesn't stop it being a solid all-round netbook. Its well-laid out keyboard, excellent screen and strong battery life make it an ideal travel companion.

Samsung's N210 will appeal most to those that want to use their netbooks outside of the home. The matte display really helps this system to be used just about anywhere. Typing is also very easy thanks to a well laid out isolated keyboard design. Note that the performance of the system does suffer a bit especially when running on batteries but this can be cahnge in the power preferences at the expense of battery life.

It looks ordinary enough and has largely average performance, though the extra battery life is welcome and the alternative Linux boot-up is fun. It may be that the battery life on its own will be enough to recommend it to you - just don't expect it to turn any heads.

Samsung N210: Stylishly practical
Source: Star Techcentral Archive.org version
Overall, my experience with the Samsung N210 has been nothing short of fun, cool and easy. Most importantly, I value the stability of the machine and the fact that it does not lag.It beats my sluggish and slow AIO PC by miles. The Samsung N210 is definitely a winner in my book.

Samsung's N210, a small but mighty netbook with impressive battery life
Source: PC Authority Archive.org version
With the N210, Samsung takes its excellent netbook range, and improves the looks and usability. Even so, it's streets ahead of the current Pine Trail-based competition, and its fantastic battery life and solid ergonomics make it worth the money. It doesn't hurt that it'll look good on the go, either.

We found it difficult to get excited by a netbook that barely matches earlier models in performance and feels cheaper in overall build quality to boot. It looks more plasticky than a Samsung NC10 or N110, has discernibly no more performance than them (in part, to be fair, because it’s slowed down by Microsoft’s newer OS), and we measured no leap forward in battery life than the Samsung N140 we last tested.

The Samsung N210, a Best Buy exclusive, is one of the better-looking netbooks we've seen, with a shiny white top, sleek chrome accents, and a comfortable keyboard. Though it isn't great at playing video, it does have fairly decent speakers. It also features an instant-on capability that allows you to get online without having to wait for Windows to start up. The Samsung N210's matte screen is easy to see in various lighting conditions, but the colors are a little washed out.

The Samsung N210 ($380 street) is not the flashiest netbook, nor does it pile on the most features in its category. Nailing down basic fundamentals is what makes it a viable contender in this cutthroat market. It maintains an excellent user experience, which includes a comfy keyboard, a big-enough touchpad and mouse buttons. Nothing in particular makes the Samsung N210 stand out in a netbook line-up, but it's a fundamentally sound netbook at a low price.

Samsung N210 review
Source: Liliputing Archive.org version
The Samsung N210 features an attractive design, a decent touchpad and good, but not great battery life. While I’m not a huge fan of the keyboard, I did find the laptop to be about as snappy and responsive as any Intel Atom N450 Pine Trail-based netbook I’ve used. The only real problem I see is that at $379, the Samsung N210 is a little pricey. Acer, Asus, MSI, and other netbook makers are offering models with nearly identical specifications for as much as $50 cheaper.

Samsung's history in netbooks is dominated by its very first entrant, the NC10. At the time it provided clarity to a market that was still searching for the perfect formula. I Samsung continues to make all the right moves with its netbooks. While previous generation models still trump the N210 for value, among the new models it's one of the most polished and complete.

Samsung - N210 review
Source: IT Reviews Archive.org version
Samsung's N210 is yet another netbook. But it is not just any old netbook. This one has some superb features that include good battery life, a great keyboard and a very serviceable instant-on operating system sitting alongside Windows 7 Starter Edition. If you are looking for a netbook and want something that is solidly made with good battery life then the Samsung N210 could be ideal. Some will find that the instant-on operating system is unnecessary, though.

Samsung is not the first name that comes to mind, at least in the U.S., when we think of laptops or Netbooks, but the company has long had a sizable presence outside of the U.S. in the PC market. Though it has some useful software tools, there's nothing special about the Samsung NP-N210-JA02US's components or performance. At $379, it's much more expensive than comparable Netbooks.

Samsung adds another netbook to its portfolio with an updated Atom CPU. While the N210 does little to push the market forward, it effortlessly fulfils expectations of what a second-generation netbook should be capable of. With stunning mobility, an impressive user interface and a comfortably usable screen, it makes it easy to recommend.

The Samsung N210 offers solid overall performance, close to 7 hours of battery life, and an attractive design. We also like the matte screen and loud speakers. However, this machine faces stiff competition from the ASUS Eee PC 1001P, which costs $80 less and lasts nearly 90 minutes longer on a charge. This head-turning netbook offers long battery life, a well-designed keyboard, and good sound quality.

Rather than build on the excellence of both the original NC10 and its successor, the N110, Samsung's latest netbook wipes the slate clean and starts afresh. Rather than another identikit netbook, the Samsung N210 dares to be different. A welcome redesign and impressive battery life should continue Samsung's run of netbook success.

This netbook's attractive design and decent battery life almost overshadow its mediocre performance. It's not often that budget gear says "look at me!" right out of the box, so the Samsung N210 was a pleasant surprise once we unpacked it. Priced at $379 (and available exclusively at Best Buy), this netbook has an attractive design and comes loaded with extra features that other budget-level netbooks lack.

We weren't surprised to see the N210 sail past Samsung's previous netbooks. It is one of the best of the current crop, with great battery life and a comfortable user experience. It's a very solid performer, and only let down by the quality of its screen and speakers. All that the NC10 has left on its side is its price tag: the N210 beats it hands down in every other area.

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150: Integrated (shared memory) graphics card in the intel Atom N4xx CPUs. Minimally faster than an old GMA 950 and therefore not suited for 3D games or HD videos (only MPEG2 acceleration).

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).

N450:

Intel Atom CPU for Netbooks with integrated memory controller and GMA 3150 GPU. The performance of the system should be only minimally faster than the previous Atom N280 / GMA 950 combination.

10.10":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

Samsung: Samsung Group is the largest South Korean conglomerate and was founded in 1938. Samsung Group employed 489,000 people in 2014 and is one of the world's largest companies in terms of revenue and market strength. The name Samsung means "Three Stars" in Korean and represents the three sons of the company's founder. The company was founded in 1938 as a grocery store. With its subsidiary Samsung Electronics, founded in 1969, Samsung took up the production of electrotechnical items, focusing on consumer electronics and household appliances at an early stage. Other branches in which the large corporation is active include mechanical engineering, automobiles (Hyundai), insurance, wholesale, real estate and leisure. Samsung manufactures a wide range of electronic products, including smartphones, televisions, home appliances and semiconductors. The company's Galaxy line of smartphones is one of the most popular in the world. Samsung is also a major player in the semiconductor industry, making memory chips and processors for many other electronics manufacturers.

75.41%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
