Samsuing N150 Netbook for On the Go Computing on a Budget

Buying a computer need not be expensive. While most netbooks used to be priced in the PhP 20,000 region, new netbooks are now reaching the PhP 15,000 mark. This means more affordable computing to those who need it, but don’t have the big budget.

The N150 features a 10.1 inch LED backlit screen, and a 12-hour battery. What’s great for me is that the N150 has a matte screen, which sets it apart from the usual glossy screens in most netbooks and laptops that give off glare in bright environments.

It is powered by a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processors and runs Windows 7 Starter Edition. The netbook also has WiFi 802.11b/g/n, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and a flash card reader. The Samsung NP-N150 puts email, the web, social networking and even multimedia entertainment right in your hands. It incorporates advanced communications technologies, including and 802.11bgn wireless and 3G modem (HSPA* and WiMAX*), to provide high-speed access to the Internet and your data anytime and anywhere.
