Product Review

Similar to the N150, the Samsung NB30 is a netbook that's standard as far as specifications go but has a bundle of unique features that will attract different tastes. Powered by a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, it has a 160GB hard drive, 1GB RAM and a 10.1-inch WSVGA display.

One unique aspect of the NB30 is its built around safety and security. It has a HDD Free Fall sensor that will shut down the hard drive if it detects the computer is falling, preventing data loss.
