  • I can find NO positives about this netbook. I truly regret my purchase, and am highly suspicious of positive reviews. No point telling me battery life is good when the basic netbook is so sloooooow. Not even a word processor with spell check. So can't even use it as a typwriter. And yes, I remove all junkware and re-installed Windows starter AND upgraded memory. Avoid avoid.

  • haha. ur twitter name almost spells out my last name

  • Which is the model of motherboard????

  • i am tired of searching drivers for this netbook. plus it IS f*cking slow with windows 7 starter which comes with it. tried vista and xp.. doesnt like it.. because of drivers issues... this netbook is RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!

  • @kokfah i found the drives very easy, and its all works fine on XP. but it does suck so much on with windows 7 starter.

  • @SomaAkaruz found the drivers.. took me a lot of time. still... it slows down horribly after sometime.

  • @kokfah yer i have restart once a day tho if you run linux its run real nice.

  • battery life up to 7 hours?

  • @NBA2kseach I cannot recall actually been a very long time, it did last for several hours (depending on settings like wifi, screen brightness etc.).

  • SAMSUNG JUST LOVES YOU

  • can this play Warcraft III DOTA and starcraft 2 (even the lowest graphic)

  • @anthonymallari12 Most likely not smoothly :(.

  • INstall linux Ubuntu 11.04 Great OS for netbooks...

  • @20652008 Never tired that before ;).

  • Battery life?

  • @northpaw2000 Nevermind. : )

  • does it have a hdmi port

  • @BeatRecka Sorry nope :(.

  • does this netbook have a sim card slot?

  • @buzgnat I believe it has a slot behind the battery but not sure if it is officially supported :).

  • its awesome

  • I am thinking about getting one of these laptops should I? Is it worth it? Can it process skype?

  • @jumpa74 Yes it can! If you are looking for a cheap method to surf the web, check emails etc. probably the way to go :). Hope this helps!

  • @TekBeatTV This would be my first laptop and im 14 so i will be downloading a bunch of stuff can it handle it? Does it have a cd/dvd drive?

  • @jumpa74 Sorry to say but it does not have a disc drive :(. It should be able to handle downloads etc., just not heavy computing (rendering, video editing etc.). Hope this helps!

  • @TekBeatTV Which Netbook do you think is better the Acer Aspire One D255 or the Samsung N150P? Thanks.

  • @ACanOfPop I personally would go with the Aspire One over the Samsung just due to experience. Hope this helps!

  • mine started pretty quick but i put windows home

  • @678monkeyboy Probably better, windows 7 starter is pretty bad :(.

  • It partitions the hardware ... AFTER it leaves the STORE?! What the hell Samsung ...

  • @panchamkauns Yea little disappointing :(.

  • People are hating on this computer teribbly, you need to delete bloatware, upgrade RAM, and deleterestore or backup states, and upgrade ur windows 7 to home premium or higher, I can run FL Studio, Photoshop, and After Effects with no issues

  • @coltarmadillo Thanks for the input, yea I just wish Samsung did not include that type of bloatware on it :).

  • You could lose the will to live waiting for this to boot up. Certainly get rid of the excess bloatware baggage. (And upgrade to 2GB)

  • @iangordoncraig ROFL yea

  • when i first started up my samsung n150 plus it took less than 10 mins.

  • @toxicsk8productions nice, that is not bad at all.

  • I have this Netbook. it starts up much faster than you have just described, runs really well actually. I meets all my computer needs, not too fond of windows 7 starter though. other than that, it's actually the best windows-based computer I've had in my life.....

  • @NuclearWarPony Awesome glad you like it! :)

  • @TekBeatTV I have the laptop too :D onlay windows 7 starter is worst i'm going to downgrade it to windows xp :p but its a good laptop!

    Sorry for my bad english ;o

  • @Marfprojects No problem, yea I recommend Windows 7 Home Premium or higher, starter is pretty bad :(.

  • @TekBeatTV and i have now Windwos 7 ulitmate dualboot 

  • @Marfprojects Nice!

  • @NuclearWarPony I just bought this,on back order from bestbuy,didn't spend the 100 bucks for them to set it up.I'm thinking of buying the windows 7 family pack and also upgrade my old POS desktop,not exactly sure if that can be done,very limited computer software skills,Can I not load the windows start software and go straight into the home edition?

  • Had mine six months screen broke today so pissed,

  • @MrSeanRlfc Sorry to hear that man :(.

  • I have this netbook, And it's the slowest netbook I've ever used. When I watch a YouTube Video, It plays like a slideshow. When I reboot this netbook it takes about 10-15 minutes. I can't even play any game on this thing. I wouldn't recommend this netbook. You're just gonna waste your money. Seriously.

  • @itsmethekiddo Ouch, yea I experienced some slow down issues with this particular netbook :(. Sorry that you are experiencing similar issues.

  • @itsmethekiddo

    try turning in on shit dickk!

  • @ChrisMcgowan1 What the fuck is wrong with you? Dude, get a life.

  • What a morron! So you complain about system recovery partition and call it bloatwaere? bloatware bloatware.. say bloatware one more time..

  • @frantahouska Sorry you feel that way, much of the other netbooks I have used had recovery partitions or recovery software built in and did not have the long start up times. Thanks anyways for the comment.

  • How can he say "durability" great. The guy has had the computer for 1 week !

  • @francisco8104 Sorry you feel that way, with regards to talking about durability I was referring to the "build quality." Thanks anyways for the comment.

  • DONT BUY NETBOOKS THEY LAG AND SLOW

    THEY CRAP

  • @OWNAGEDRAINBOW Honestly it would depend on the user, if you want something light to surf the web the netbook is not bad at all. Thanks for the comment anyways!

  • ubuntu is great for this netbook

  • @KaxiLaxi Yes it is!

  • Nice video man, i got some questions tho please. , I just found a new version of this SAME EXACT netbook except these things, the one i found had: *2g ram. *Intel Atom N475 1.83GH speed. *320G hard drive size. *Costs around 350$. , Do you think that this one is good/better than this one or is there a better one coming really soon and i should just wait? I'm not really sure what this one i found is called, but i think it's "Samsung N150 Plus". , Please HELP ;(
  • @SALEHinCANADA Hey, honestly my favorite netbook has always been the Toshiba NB305, I think they have an update for that one. Not a huge fan of the Samsung netbooks. Hope this helps!

  • what i don't like form this laptop is windows 7 starter...

    i like to have windows 7 home pre, on this laptop ;l

  • @windows981 Yea windows 7 starter is terrible with the restrictions it has. 

  • @TekBeatTV yea,

    Advantages:

     not much. disadvantages: Windows 7 starter, the themes do not support ... With Windows 7 starter, you can not change the background .. Windows 7 starter, is very slow ... With Windows 7 starter, you have no aero. With Windows 7 starter, you can not install Hotfix. Microsoft, why did you disable CHANGE BACKGROUND>. <

  • @windows981 lol totally know what you are talking about :).

  • @TekBeatTV The laptop itself is just a good thing but that Windows 7 ruined the starter.

    and thank you agree with me:)

  • @windows981 Haha no prob :).

  • @phildenethorgates haha congratz man!

  • I just bought this....hasn't arrived yet...This video is good critique but damnnn what a nagative review :(( feel like i just waisted my £200

  • @Shassytricia Sorry you feel that way, I meant for the review to be an honest representation of what I felt about the product. Being honest to my viewers is better than just giving you a general overview of features etc. Hope this helps!

  • I run windows 7 Ultimate on mine N150 all working well , i love my net book,

  • @DivineHorses Nice, glad you like it!

  • in what country is it made?

  • @bishonenchan Not sure exactly, cannot recall, sorry I could not help more!

  • @TekBeatTV thanks for reply XD

  • Lol, thumbs up if your watching this on a N150!

  • @therobow09 lol :)

  • i have only 1 question, can samsung n150 plus with windows 7 run videos 720p? somebody responds.

  • @rresttringiddo Yea it should be able to, hope this helps!

  • @rresttringiddo

    Hi Mine has windows 7 ultimate & 1gb ram and the atom 1.66ghz I can run 720p but with low ram I can not play 1080p,

  • @DivineHorses what program use to run videos? and what codecs?

  • Ive had one of these for about 6 months now except mine is running xp as it was a clearance model because of its age. I LOVE it! It's great for picking up when im in a rush to get to class. Excellent battery life! I get about 9-10 hours if I keep the screen dimmed so it lasts me the whole day. charge it over night and ready to go again the next day.

  • @leetonhigh8 Nice, congratz on the purchase man, glad you are loving it :).

  • morron. bloatware my ass! you can tell he is idiot by that plastic still on top lid after week of use...its like chicklet but is not chiclet...?

  • @frantahouska Sorry you feel that way man, but I left the cover on top just so I would not scratch the gloss surface on top. With regards to the keyboard some are what I would call chicklet keyboards while other are not quite chicklet. But thanks anyways for the comment.

  • @TekBeatTV What a wanker, huh? If you don't have anything good to say, sod off. :)

  • The netbook is great. the keyboard is great. and its very portable.

  • @lukepumkinking1 Nice! :)

  • the keyboard is one of the best ive ever used on a netbook or notebook for that matter. and i think this is very important

  • @namitsu1 Yea they keyboard was alright, but I still prefer chicklet type keyboards :).

  • @TekBeatTV Yeah, I might get a chiclet for my desktop pc. You know of any good ones by chance?

  • @namitsu1 Honestly I would suggest taking at look at the Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard, I love it :).

  • i got this netbook. the bloatware sucks but only for the first time you use it. just remove that stuff when you first boot into windows and it runs like a charm after.

  • @namitsu1 yea that bloatware...was a beast.

  • I got this about 2 months ago but never have I expenrience the battery lasting for about 7 hours, my maximum use of it was only 4 hours so far, I dunno what's wrong, I already set it in power saving mode, I lowered brightness, and in the 4 hours I'm using it, it's usually Idle., before, It charges full in only an hour but now, it charges for 1 n half hours, please help, thanks, nice review :)

  • @lelei27 Interesting, you might have a defective battery...Did you charge it all the way before using it for the first time? Have you cycled it in the last month (run it to zero and charge it all the way back up)? Hope this helps!

  • sorry, but i have a problem with this netbook, it's the brightness, i can't low it, please, just tell me, thw to fix up.

  • @rresttringiddo That is really weird, lowering the brightness is possible. Are you saying that you cannot adjust it at all? If that is the problem it might be either a hardware problem (the lower bright key), or there is something wrong with the software (might need a reinstall). Hope this helps!

  • @TekBeatTV the problem is in the verison of the intel driver graphic, or something like that

    the version 8,0,... , the last version is the problema, but the previously works, thanks

  • @rresttringiddo No problem, glad you were able to find out the root cause.

  • Do you recommend installing the full version of windows? The starter one is kind of slow. Also do you recommend upgrading to 2GB Ram? The DDR3 ram card is upwards of $95.

  • @toxicmegacolon I highly recommend installing a full version of the Windows 7 operating system, the Windows 7 starter is pretty bad :(. Hope this helps!

  • I really don't recommend this netbook. I also got one and there are much better netbooks out there. Though it's good in weigh and comfort. And it's true that there are too many installations. It is samsung brand, it's something you should have already expected.

  • @jcrebolla Yea the bloatware installed was unbelievable lol.

  • @TekBeatTV Can this device play 720p HD video? I Know it will not play 1080p!

  • @iTimOSX Yeap!

  • i got this laptop and its great

  • @TheLeonStrike Nice, congratz!

  • Did'nt show the screen you serious!

  • @mkerr322 Sorry about that :(.

  • Just wondering how long do you think the battery life will be if i just use microsoft word on it. cheers to anyone who can answer (:

  • @azzaisgreat74 You will probably get 5-6 hours depending on how bright and if you are using wifi etc. Hope this helps!

  • Comment removed

  • @MrStankoman Sorry that you feel that way, I am not recommending this netbook due to the fact it incorporates the bloatware, a consumer should not really be expected to have to go and purchase a full version os or do a wipe themselves in order to get the netbook working smoothly. Thanks anyways for the comment.

  • have the n150 too and the win7 starter version which is installed is very very worse, it is runs very slow, but after installing my own win7 ultimate and it runs wonderful, after a week I bought 2 gigs of ram and iam very impressed, runs perfect

  • @letsgetaddicted Nice, congratz on the new netbook with full Win 7 :). 

  • is it good for games ??? :D

  • @97Clauu Sorry to say but not really :(. Hope this helps!

  • Does this Netbook have an SD slot?

  • @gaz10101 Yes it does :).

  • @TekBeatTV thanks

  • @gaz10101 No problem! :)

  • is this model samsung n150 jpb2 and is it better than Asus Eee pc 1005HAB

  • @minahminah15 Hmmm when I got it it only stated N150 (never saw the later serial #'s), I would personally say that the eee pc is probably better overall. Hope this helps!

  • So I'm just looking for a cheapy little netbook to record voice/music I record with my mic. Do you think this would be good for that? It's the cheapest thing I'm looking at for $250. I don't want anything else, just something to plug my mic into that I can take with me.

  • @Kyosho101 Hmmm that should work fine with the netbook but again just make sure you uninstall some of the bloatware that they have. Hope this helps!

  • @TekBeatTV Ok, thanks, and will do. :) I'm just too cheap to actually save up for a legitimate laptop hahaha.

  • How difficult is it to wipe the hard drive clean and start with just the operating system and nothing else added on? Will I be able to put Windows 7 Starter back on if I delete everything on the hard drive? Or would I have to purchase it before I can reinstall it again?

  • @EvenSteven2004 Very easy as a matter of fact. You will need a full version of Windows 7 and then just follow the install instructions to wipe the computer clean. Hope this helps!

  • You reckon it could run the Sims 3? Is the shard memory powerful enough?

  • @Basuru Most likely not :(. Sorry to say but netbooks are not really made to game with their integrated graphics. Hope this helps!

  • Can I stream and watch youtube videos on it ok?

  • @santonegra You can but some stuttering can happen if you full screen. Hope this helps!

  • Not DEDICATED VIDEO MEMORY... 128MB SHARED!

  • @thegreatcerebral I said dedicated? Apologize if I did!

  • hi, how do i delete cookies from this netbook? thanks a lot!

  • @abcd12341021 Fairly simple just go into internet options under tools in your internet explorer and it will say delete cookies (probably the main screen). Hope this helps!

  • @TekBeatTV thank you so much for you help, I truly appreciate it!!!

  • @abcd12341021 No problem, glad I could help!

  • @TekBeatTV thank you so much for you help, I truly appreciate it!!!

  • My Netbook N150 Won't Let Me Change The Wallpaper . Also I Can't Seem To Work The Digital Livecam . Can You Help Me, Please ? Thank You !

  • @GunsNRosesLoverrr Hey! The Windows 7 Starter than comes with most netbooks are stripped of the ability to change the wallpaper, hope this helps!

  • Can it go on facebook and does it have camera effects

  • @THEQULKMAN Yea you can go on facebook via the netbook :). I am unsure of camera effects but it does possess webcams. Hope this helps!

  • @TekBeatTV thanks

  • @THEQULKMAN No problem, glad I could help!

  • Not looking to spend over £270 on a net book, is this definitely the one to get if I am to stick with Samsung? Thanks.

  • @bainzeyboy If you are to stick with Samsung, this would not be a bad netbook to get just be prepared to uninstall a few things if you do not want your startup times to be too long (fair amount of bloatware). You might also want to check out the Toshiba NB305 (my personal favorite) or even the latest Acer Aspire One. Hope this helps!

  • @TekBeatTV Thanks, man :)

  • how about running HD Video via VLC player?, would that eliminate lag?, i'm buying a netbook next week, considering this or the Aspire One AOD260, i'm going to remove any preinstalled OS and put on my own choice of Linux.

  • @DragonRising88 I would highly advise you to take a look at the Acer Aspire one over the N150 due to the fit and finish was better than that of the Samsung. Hope this helps! Also yea there is a bit of lag on HD via VLC, but that is due to the integrated graphics. Look for an ION based netbook if you want to play smooth HD.

  • @DragonRising88

    Hi,

    I am thinking of fetting this for a teen. Can you watch youtube on it?

  • @ImIrishdealwithit Yes you can! Feel free to watch Youtube on it, it will play well on normal settings. Hope this helps!

  • Hello friend, me too bought a samsung n148 recently with a 1gb ram. I would like to upgrade it to 2 gb ram. Please tell me how is it possible to replace my 1gb with a 2gb ddr2 or ddr3 ram. Please review about your system’s performance after the upgrade.

    Thanks in advance.

  • @alfredisac Hey, very easy to install additional ram, there should be a compartment that you remove on the bottom of the netbook. Once it is removed there should be two modules in there, just remove them and place the new ram that you have in. It has to however match the same speed and type (DDR2 or DD3) of the N150 (i cannot recall what memory it takes as I no longer have that netbook). Hope this helps!

  • i have a one!

  • @windows981 Nice!

  • im thinking of buying this netbook whoud you recomend it to surf the wen b and does it slow down alot when downloading music or files?

  • @kylethepimp1 Hey I would consider the Toshiba NB305 (did a review on it) over the Samsung (personally).  The Samsung did not have any issues web surfing or downloading files but startup was slow due to bloatware. Hope this helps!

  • i gonna buy it in 2011 :)

  • @WTF1wr1ownage Nice! Congratz!

  • i got samsung n220 for my birthday and i spent two hours setting it up it was so slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

  • @SuperDarkside34 Sorry to hear that man, yea I did experience quite a bit of bloatware with the Samsung that hurt the start time :(.

  • I'm getting this free thru Verizon, fuck kricket, Verizon is the best

  • @noobsyb0t Congratz on the new netbook! :)

  • yeah it did i found it but it turns off once i close the window right

  • @cruzcartoon1 That is correct :).

  • also y cant i change my background

  • @cruzcartoon1 Hey sorry to say but the Windows 7 Starter that comes with most if not all netbooks are stripped down versions of Windows 7. One of the stripped out features is that the wallpaper is not changeble :(. Hope this helps!

  • @TekBeatTV It does but i cant the palce where to go i have tried devices and printer but couldnt find it so where i am suppose to go

  • @cruzcartoon1 Should be a program located in the all programs (not within the devices or printers). I do not recall the exact name and I cannot verify as I no longer have that netbook. Hope this helps in some way, sorry could not be of more help!

  • how do u use the web cam
