This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Good quality, very portable, good price.
Cons: None, especially if you realize this is a netbook -- it's not a 'small' or a 'cheap' laptop. By design netbooks are not supposed to have similar features as a typical laptop. NewEgg buyers seem to be a bit more savvy but I've seen a lot of reviews on other sites trashing their netbook purchases because of the unrealistic expectations they've made because they were simply trying to save a few bucks. If you want the capabilities of a laptop, or even a more expansive desktop box, you're not going to happy with a netbook.
Other Thoughts: The WinXP Home that come installed on this unit had the typical cruft Samsung added. Not excessive but the usual shareware and annoyware. Encountered no problems at all cleaning it up and optimizing things.
Added and set up Slackware so I could dual boot as needed. The N130's hardware is pretty straightforward so setting up X11, sound, etc. was pleasantly uneventful. I did have to resort to NDISwrapper to get the Realtech wireless chip going though.

Upgrades to 2 GB

Pros: Just wanted to let people know that you can easily upgrade the ram to 2 GB. Just Google it; real easy. On power save mode my battery lasts nearly 8 hours in real time. I can watch 3 movies easily on the airplane (thru USB port or on the HD).
Cons: Great little Netbook; the provided 160 GB HD is actually a Fujitsu and did not last more that 2 weeks on my Notebook. But I was able to switch it to a WD HD, and everything works like a dream now. You can also change the HD to SSD once prices drop (SATA). Also the screen resolution is limited to 1024X600, but supports 1080P on monitor out put, so works perfectly on HD tvs.
Other Thoughts: Great Sturdy little machine. You won't be disappointed. NewEgg Rocks. Would have easily gotten 5 stars, but you can see the cons.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very light, extremely cute, bright LCD, powerful for the size, healthy sized keyboard, great battery life, 3 USB ports, great HDD space, built-in mic and webcam, quiet, basically everything you'd want from a netbook.
Cons: Only cons I could really find were the mediocre 0.3MP webcam (which I will probably never use anyway) and the lack of memory expandibility (limited to 1GB Ram, 1 stick)
Other Thoughts: First time I ever bought a netbook. Before I bought it, I thought it wouldn't be much of a difference from my laptop in terms of what I'd notice to be different, and would have trouble using it because of the size. Wow, was I wrong. The weight difference itself is amazing. No more lugging around the 7-8 pound laptop in my backpack. The keyboard is incredibly easy to use. The 3 USBs are a huge plus.
