The Samsung N310 is a premium netbook that manages to combine a cutting-edge design with a portable but highly usable tech spec. While it’s important the N310 looks good and offers great mobility and comfort, the components inside this netbook are equally as important, and are needed to deliver the best possible battery life and user experience.
Arguably, the most important component within the Samsung N310 is the processor – an Intel Atom N270 chip running at 1.6GHz. This easily gives you enough power to run everyday tasks such as editing documents and browsing the internet. It also offers the best compromise between performance and battery life, helping the N310 to last for well over six hours when used with the standard 6-cell battery.
Supporting the processor, and making multi-tasking a possibility, is the 1024MB of memory. The N310 also features a hatch on the bottom of the chassis, so those with more intensive needs can easily upgrade to 2048MB.

All your multimedia files – from videos to music and important work documents – can fit on the N310’s hard drive with room to spare. At 160GB, it’s as capacious as some of the latest laptops, proving that the portability of a netbook doesn’t need to come at a price in terms of features.
The 10.1-inch screen has a frameless design and features a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, which offers more than enough space onscreen to browse the web. It boasts LED backlighting, which results in the most accurate colour reproduction currently available, and helps to make the N310 a great choice for those wanting to watch films or edit photographs. LED backlighting also results in enhanced battery life, letting you work for longer on the move.
An integrated Intel graphics card also helps to boost the battery life, while offering capable 3D performance. The N310 can play the latest films with ease, also coping with multimedia presentations.
