Samsung Nf310
Design
Design
The NF310 is a sleek, attractive, professional-looking unit whose low body weight (2.9 pounds) wont weigh down your travel bag much. The NF310s slim body measures 1.2x10.8x7.4 inches and is rimmed in mock chrome. The curves of the NF310 add visual interest to the netbook and will definitely make it stand out. The lid is wrapped in glossy charcoal-gray plastic, which tends to show off smudges readily. Matte-silver plastic covers the keyboard-deck area and complements the glossy black screen bezel and matte-black keys.
Heat
the NF310 stayed relatively cool, even when sitting on our lap. After playing a Hulu video at full screen for 15 seconds, we measured the temperature between the G and H keys, on the touchpad, and in the center of the bottom. The keyboard only reached 82 degrees,
Keyboard
The Samsung NF310 keyboard is spill-resistant, and we were also pleased that the letter keys were designed with adult fingers in mind. Thanks to the netbook's wider chassis, the keyboard is slightly roomier than the Asus Eee PC 1015PEMs.
Touchpad
The Samsung NF310 touchpad 2.9 x 1.5-inch is a comfortable size and very nice texture and feels great under your fingertip. While theres only one touchpad button, theres a clear marker in the center and its almost as easyto register right and left clicks as it would have been with two distinct buttons.
Display
The 10.1-inch display is backlit by LEDs and sports a matte, nonreflective finish. The native resolution is 1,366x768 pixels (for 720p HD playback) and makes for a decent multimedia viewing experience.
Audio
The NF310s speakers are powerful enough to fill a small room, and the sound quality from the Samsung's True2Sound SRS sound system is better than what we've heard from other netbooks weve tested.
Ports
The NF310 have a three USB ports also features VGA, Ethernet, headphone and mic connections. Unfortunately, the 4-in-1 memory card slot still has no spring lock, which means SD cards hang off the side of the netbook.
Webcam
The Samsung NF310 webcam 0.3-megapixel (VGA), which is embedded into the upper portion of the display bezel. (You activate the Webcam by launching the pre-installed CyberLink YouCam utility.) We snapped a few still photos with the Webcam and noted decent clarity, though skin tones were a little pale.
Performance
The 1.5-GHz dual-core Intel Atom N550 CPU and 1GB of RAM inside the NF310 delivered a score of 1,646 in PCMark05. Though well above the 1,425 average, that showing is a little below the ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM (1,729) and the Acer Aspire One D255 (1,696), which both have the same processor. However, it's a big improvement over single-core netbooks such as the Samsung N150 Plus (1,300).The NF310 was able to boot into Windows 7 Starter Edition in just 45 seconds, way under the netbook average (63) and the Mini 5103 (53).The system also proved speedy in the video transcoding department, taking just 3 minutes and 50 seconds to convert a 114MB MPEG file to AVI using Oxelon Media Converter.
Battery Life
The Samsung NF310 delivers mobility and freedom with its power efficient performance and extensive battery life of up to 9.4 hours.
Wireless
the NF310 managed throughput of 21.8 Mbps 15 feet from the router and 17.5 Mbps 50 feet away. Though stronger than the Aspire One D255 (18.0/15.5 Mbps) and comparable to the HP Mini 5103 (21.8/19.4 Mbps), this score is below the average netbook average (24.7/18.3 Mbps).
Graphics
Intel's integrated GMA 3150 graphics delivered a middling score of 147 on 3DMark06. While not stunning, this is average for dual-core Atom netbooks. The Mini 5103 earned the same score, while the Aspire One D255 and Eee PC 1015PEM were just a few marks higher (151 and 149). If you're looking for better performance from a 10-incher, the ASUS Eee PC 1015PN with Nvidia Ion 2 graphics (1,497) might satisfy.
