Samsung N135 10.1-Inch Netbook Review

Unrivaled design and a host of advanced features make the Samsung N135 Netbook a class of its own. The feature-filled, denim-blue Samsung N135 netbook is powered by an Intel Atom N270 processor, and comes loaded with Windows XP Home.

It looks quite sleek, with an unobtrusive slimness in design. The screen is just 10.1” which is a perfect size for a netbook which is miniature laptops that focuses on web browsing, general office programs, video, and file management. Unlike the other Samsung models, Samsung N135 doesn’t have a glossy display rather it has an anti-reflective display which minimizes the irritating reflections while working outdoors.

Specification wise, the Samsung N135 is your basic netbook and doesn’t really have any feature that makes it stand out. The nearly full-sized keyboard is ergonomically designed and is quite comfortable to use. The most impressive highlights of the Samsung N135 is the battery life and you can spend 6 hours working outdoors and keeping in touch with your contacts.

Upgrading Samsung N135 Memory from 1GB to 2GB

Take note of the following;

  • The netbook comes with only 1 slot and it is populated by a 1GB memory module
  • That means you have to remove the 1GB RAM module to insert the new 2GB RAM module
  • Make sure you purchase the right memory module – a 200 pin DDR2 SODIMM notebook memory module (667MHz or 800MHz)
  • Installing the memory is a snap. You just need a tiny Philips screwdriver to remove one screw from back cover. Once unscrewed slide the door towards the screw and lift up gently. Pop out the old, pop in the new, replace the cover and boot it back up (Follow the steps outlined in easily self upgrade RAM)
