Great Value netbook
Had this for a few days now and am very pleased with it. Nice size, crisp screen and fast enough for my needs (mainly surfing). Minor irritations: Only one speaker but will probably be using headphones so no big deal; Also the trackpad can be a bit annoying- the enter button is quite stiff and merely hovering the cursor over a link is sometimes enough to activate it (whether you want to or not!).
Hence only 4 stars not 5, but it's still a great little machine and am glad I didn't go for the more expensive models
Notebook 
I am very happy indeed with the Samsung N130 Laptop purchased from Amazon.
I bought it for use solely when travelling and it's weight and size is perfect for that.
The Amazon service was perfect and delivery was executed very quickly indeed.
Excellent netbook
This notebook scores high in many online reviews and having bought it I can agree and see why so many other people rate it so highly. It really is small, easy to carry around and use. The battery life is very good at about 5 hours and it has an excellent near full size keyboard. It loads fast and as I will not load it up with too many programmes, mainly using it for word processing and internet, it will continue have a fast response in windows and boot up. The only thing people should be aware of is that the speakers are tiny for volume but, when needed, I just use light headphones. The latest netbooks may have the usual latest features and specs but this netbook will be around for a long time and is also excellent with Windows7 loaded on it.
Sammy goes everywhere with me....
Bought this because I had a chance to play with the almost identical N140 and liked it. Amazon price was best around (and still is a month later).
Big feature is battery life: I use it at College (back doing a grey-haired/no-haired M.Eng) and in my campervan and I get over well 4 hours of use on battery - as it can be turned off or into standby very easily (a double key press or close the lid) and more importantly comes back on very quickly compared to my old laptop, it works just great for quick notes, random checking the 'net, music, skype etc. Over a 10 hour day I find I rarely have to connect it to the mains.
Absolutely silent - there's some sort of a air mover that comes on now and then but you feel the heated air, not hear it. Unlike most laptops you will not burn your lap or any other tender bits.
Screen is bright and crisp. As I now wear glasses to read books I also have to wear them to read text on the N130 screen. Small screen might be a problem for you if you are over 40 and haven't got to reading glasses yet. Haven't played about with changing text and icon size on screen which is possible I believe.
I watch .avi movies or TV shows now and then (usually with headphones) - perfect.
Comes with Microsoft Office Home/Student edition paid up for 1 year. This is fully featured - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and some bits.
Negatives: single speaker - OK for youtube or downloaded lectures, might be irritating for movies or TV.
Trackpad is very small and the left/right click bit is tiny and not easy to use. OK for occasional use but for serious work you will need a mouse.
Differences from the N140 are slightly different screen, no stereo speakers, no bluetooth, and smaller capacity battery. So far I am happy to have saved the difference in price.
Highly recommended.
Good value for money
I needed a budget, light-weight netbook for travelling across the world. I reluctantly left my usual laptop (MacBook Pro) behind as it was just too valuable for the kind of trip I had planned.
While I am not a big fan of MS Windows the little Samsung N130 netbook served me well. It's Samung's budget netbook. However, it comes with a fairly decent spec given the price. It is certainly enough to check your email on the go, do some web browsing, use Skype and create word documents - exactly the stuff I needed to do while travelling. I even managed to watch movies I had downloaded from iTunes. And if someone had nicked it the financial loss wouldn't have been enormous.
All in all, it does exactly what it is meant to do. I would not recommend it as your only laptop / computer given it's small screen and lack of speed. But for travelling it's excellent.
