Samsung X120 JA02

The Samsung X120 is a 11.6-inch netbook with a Celeron SU2300 processor and a resolution of 1366x768. In the embodiment discussed here has netbookje 3GB memory. The X120 I purchased as a successor to the Samsung NC10, which I under-performance and low resolution have liked. , the difference in size between a 10.1-inch and 11.6-inch netbook is noticeable. Larger the mine are not. The resolution of 1366x768 pixels is a huge improvement over the stamp-sized screen of the NC10 (1024x600). The NC10 is impossible to do because the Atom is too slow and there between the toolbars in Lightroom and Photoshop leaves no room to display an image. Usable format from any serious photo editing Unfortunately, the color range of the display in the X120 tragically bad. When gray transitions you are treated to brutal dithering and banding. The color looks like compared to the display of the IPS panels in my Apple 30-inchers anywhere. The little display appears a number of times to be washed so the colors become. Faded at ninety degrees , the Celeron CULV processor is noticeably faster than an Atom N270. Also during simple operations like a little web browsing is the difference shows. Well in performance , the X120 comes standard volgedouwd with all kinds of software that you do not have to wait after opening the box on sight claims to wait for the mandatory fitting an hour of your time and then again uninstalling this junk. The standard supplied Western Digital Caviar Blue 320GB drive is slow if you're accustomed to a ssd. I got there as soon as possible Vertex 30GB built targets, which is quite a challenge showed no optical drive. The cloning of the WD drive to the Vertex True Image appeared never to yield. A bootable result Eventually I realized that I had lying around that I could boot. My Windows installation DVD and an external SATA drive somewhere The driver and software downloads on the website of Samsung are in good order so that you can do. Trouble a fresh install , the keyboard is ok but the touchpad takes some getting used due to the fact that the two buttons on the left and right of the touchpad are inserted instead of underneath. Furthermore, it is a pity that there are no USB ports on the left side of the device (it is better with a wired mouse when you're on the right). About the battery life, I can not say much, but it looks pretty good. If you go easy on seven seems feasible. In many cpu-time battery life is rapidly declining. The battery has a capacity of 8850mAh. The system is fairly quiet as long as you do not charge the cpu heavy. The NC10 was quieter. The design and build quality of the X120 is ok. It is of course far from a Mac but that applies to all Windows laptops and is reflected in the price. The top of the laptop is made ​​of high-gloss black which guarantees a lot of visible fingerprints. As for weight, the X120 is similar to the NC10. Altogether a nice netbookje a lot soepler work than a netbook with an Atom and a fine resolution. Pity the poor color reproduction.
