ZOTAC SAM102 - Atom N270 / 1.6 GHz - RAM 0 MB - GMA 950 - WLAN : 802.11b/g - no OS - 10" Widescreen TFT 1024 x 600 ( WSVGA ) - camera

Great construction, does not feel cheap or flimsy, but not at the cost of adding weight either. Easy to install hardware, boot/installation was a breeze ; Running Ubuntu 10.04 and EVERYTHING works as it should. I did not have to hunt down and compile...

Battery life seems to be a bit short, but it is to be expected for a 3 cell battery ; Keyboard key placement is a little awkward. They moved the Fn key to where the left Ctrl key should be, which gets me many times a day as I use hotkeys like they are...

Easy to set up right out of the box. Added WD 120gb hdd and 2 gb ram. Booted and installed a linux variation and so far everything is just fine. Fast, peppy system, writing this review with it actually

Echoing what others have said, the keyboard is a little awkward, even after typing on a laptop for years ; If you buy one of these, and I hope that someone from ZOTAC reads this, GET BETTER SCREWS FOR THE HDD. The ones that come with the system suck....

DIY netbook is so appealing

DOA. The keyboard felt cramped for the short time that I had it, and the touchpad was small, even for a netbook. I previously owned an MSI Wind u100, and so I have a frame of reference for these things

To many to list. A beautiful Ubuntu notebook!!! I'm using my notebook now to write this review

Keyboard takes a little to get use to.....I have seen worse on full size laptops. Speakers are really weak but they do work. Could use a bigger battery but its still decent. None of the items listed would require a lower rating

Price, if successful rebate and spare parts on hand. 3 USB, 2 mini PCI-E, zippy performance. Easy access for hardware installation. Fairly sturdy construction. Runs many flavors of Linux, WinXP, Win7 & Hackintosh with sound fix

Battery life, flimsy keyboard and weak wireless card. Too many complaints on product/RMA from other buyers. Questionable rebate success. Product registration had to be completed by contacting customer service as I received the same message that product...

Well built, feels pretty solid. Super simple to put the memory and hard drive in. Decent speed running Ubuntu and Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Screen looks great and the batter life seems pretty good so far

Keyboard is a little small (but this is to be expected). Also, the key layout is a little odd, i.e. the home and up arrow are right where you would expect the right shift key to be, so that takes some getting used to. Also, the left ctrl is to the...

Price, if MIR materializes. Good, clean mechanical design. Express card 34. 6-cell now available for $55 shipped

3-cell battery life. BIOS needs updating to fix Sleep anomalies. Trial launch USA only, may end up an orphan. Had to RMA first one, defective LAN port

I purchased 3 of these units for my kids, installed windows 7, and 1gb of ram in each, and 40 gb hd's in two, and a 100 gb hd in one . This unit is amazing for the price. I plan on ordering 2 more

The screws included to mount the hard drives don't fit, had to find new ones

SAM 102 is actually a good performance netbook. I am impressed by the sturdy, simple look. Putting in the ram and hard drive require is easy and intuitive. Good for general uses and web surfing. Got it on black friday sale so I get what I paid for

Fan is noisy compared to ASUS Eee (which is completely a silence). Sometimes it can be so HOT (i.e. while watching online videos) that it burns my lap. One egg down ; As of now, it's been more than 3 months, but my $50 mail-in rebate hasn't yet...

I am running ubuntu. They are amazing. The drivers needed for everything are on here...no complicated terminal stuff. dual processor good. running with a ssd. Installed ubuntu from a sd card with the .iso file installed on it. So great. Just what i was...
