Check memory fitted before upgrading, By

Just purchased this excellent netbook along with the 2gb memory upgrade, as recommended by Amazon. The recommended upgrade was DDR2 memory. It turned out that the memory required for my netbook (the latest model) is, in fact, DDR3. Please check, before purchasing any upgrade, that it's correct for your netbook. Remove the memory fitted to your netbook and underneath it, in large letters, will be the type required. The return of what was supplied has been accepted without question.It's interesting to see, however, that Amazon still show DDR2 in the spec list.
Only a little niggle on an otherwise excellent value product.

Super Little Netbook, By

This review is from: Samsung N145 Plus 10.1 inch Netbook PC (Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD, Webcam, Win 7 Starter) - Black (Personal Computers)
Samsung N145 Plus 10.1 inch Netbook PC (Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD, Webcam, Win 7 Starter) - BlackI ordered this Netbook 1155am Sunday 12th June, it was delivered before 1000 Monday 13th June. The quality of service from Amazon and their chosen couriers never ceases to amaze me.
For anyone confused and to answer the question raised by a fellow reveiwer, this is an N145Plus, the sticker on the bottom of may new toy says so, the sticker also shows mine was assembled in April 2011. This machine is an update on the previous similarly named model, the difference being an upgrade to use the faster DDR3 RAM. Hello Amazon, I hope you are reading this; although you have changed the tech spec section of the product description to reflect the new memory protocol, you are still showing the option to buy the netbook a cover and 2GB of DDR2 RAM. Anyone buying one of these machines, it does use DDR3 to confirm that point 'DDR3 ONLY' is printed under the memory module. Be warned.
This is my first foray into any form of mobile computing I am pleasantly surprised. At this point I should admit to a bit of a soft spot for Samsung products. The netbook itself feels solid and well made, the matt or satin finish of the lid doesn't show finger marks like the N150 I looked at in a high street store which looked like a crime scene investigators training aid. The amount of pre installed 'bloatware' is minimal, one program which has proved useful already is Samsung update manager which searches for driver updates. I used the program and it found three updated drivers including one for the wireless net work card.
As a personal choice I have ditched the trial version of Norton Internet secutity (Nothing against Norton, I have used their products for many years and still do. Internet Security 2011 is installed on my desk top and I love it). On this netbook I am using Microsoft's Security Essentials, which I feel is less resource hungry for a modestly powered device. I have also ditched Internet Explorer in favour of Google Chrome for the same reasons. I am truly impressed with the machine's nippy performance, it won't break any computing records but to perform the tasks for which it was designed it is a little cracker, even with the supplied 1GB of Ram. When I ordered the netbook I also ordered a 2GB module of RAM, If you are familiar with the expression of 'bang for your buck' you will know what my next comment is; buy the memory upgrade, for around £15 you can't go wrong.
I am going to get a lot of pleasure from my new N145Plus. I know you will too.

Had this item for about a week now.No Problems getting it set up, was quick and easy.
For its size and power, it works efficiently. The fans are very quiet, screen is good.
The charger has a sufficiently long cable for use when plugged in, haven't yet tested how close to real life the battery life estimate is.
For this kind of price, its definitely excellent value.
Wireless connection was quick and easy, web browsing is quick.
We didn't go for the 2GB Update and nevertheless find it sufficient for working documents, internet and e-mail.
As for the looks: it has a simple design, everything necessary is there and with three USB Ports its well equipped.
All in all definitely a good buy.
