Gateway’s LT3100 series netbooks are a bit larger than typical netbooks, but they pack 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel displays which help me foregive the extra size. The other thing that sets the LT3100 apart from pretty much every netbook on the market is the fact that it ships with an AMD Athlon L110 64 bit processor and ATI radeon X1270 graphics.

CNET reviews the Gateway LT3103u and writes, “The 11-inch, AMD-powered Gateway LT3103u does well on price and performance, but drops the ball on battery life when compared with the competition. The good: Feels faster than an Intel Atom Netbook, but keeps the price low; high-def display. The bad: Uninspiring battery life; terrible mouse buttons; no Bluetooth.”

CNET editors’ rating: 3.5 stars Very good

LaptopMag reviews the Gateway LT3103u and writes, “The Gateway LT Series represents netbooks’ first awkward steps into adolescence. With an 11.6-inch display, it’s almost as big as a traditional notebook, but while its AMD CPU is more powerful than Intel Atom chips, it still has a way to go before it can compete with ULV processors. But for now, the increase in power is not enough to overcome its lack of endurance when compared to the Acer Aspire One 751h, which is $50 less expensive, or the ASUS Eee PC 1101HA, which costs $30 more. Still, the LT3013u’s design and $399 price tag makes it attractive for those looking for a larger netbook with more grown-up specs.”

Pros
Stylish design
Comfortable keyboard
Better performance than Atom-based netbooks

Cons
Slow boot time
Short battery life
Lid attracts fingerprints

PCMag reviews the Gateway LT3103u and writes, “The Gateway LT3103u goes against everything that coined the term netbook, but you’ll like the price, 11-inch screen, and the full size keyboard.”

Pros
Eleven-inch widescreen is atypical of a netbook. Full size keyboard. Love the resolution. 2GB of memory. Big hard drive. Competitively priced.

Cons
Battery life falls short of its rivals. Design is generic. Windows XP Professional would?ve been a faster alternative to Vista.

ComputerShopper reviews the Gateway LT3103u and writes, “An Athlon CPU and aggressive pricing raise Gateway’s first netbook from “standard” to “standout.””

Pros
Excellent keyboard, touch pad; attractive design; some record-breaking benchmark-test scores; glare-resistant screen.

Cons
Battery doesn’t last long (and can get hot); no free Windows 7 upgrade; full-screen video streaming shows stuttering.

Weighing just 2.9 pounds, the Samsung GO N310 netbook is one of the lightest netbooks in its class and it’s loaded with the latest technology for maximum performance. Distinctively styled, it’s designed by award-winning Japanese artist Naoto Fukasawa and features smoothly rounded edges that resemble a pebble that’s been worn down by wind and waterfall and its cover has a rubberized surface that more durable and easy-to-grip. In addition to this model in midnight blue (N310-13GB), it also comes in three other colors: jet black, sunset orange and mint blue.

CNET reviews the Samsung Go N310 and writes, “Samsung brings a different look to a generic Netbook build with the N310, but is there any good reason this costs almost $500? The good: Unique, rugged design; excellent battery life.
The bad: High-end Netbook price, without the high-end extras.”

CNET editors’ rating: 3.5 stars, Very good

PCMag reviews the Samsung Go N310 and writes, “The Samsung Go N310-13GB has a well-thought-out design and a big battery, but its price needs to come down a bit more.”

Pros
Big battery. More than 9 hours of battery life. Rubbery design is unique. Very good typing and navigating experience. Edge-to-edge glass screen.

Cons
Slightly overpriced.

LaptopMag reviews the Samsung Go N310 and writes, “With the Go, Samsung has created one of the more attractive 10-inch netbooks on the market. Its compact build and peppy performance will provide the fashion-conscious a well-rounded package. However, its $449 price gives us pause. You can snatch up the Editors’ Choice-winning Toshiba mini NB205, which provides a larger touchpad and even better endurance, for $50 less. And for $50 more you can pick up the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 (retailing for $499), which has a larger 12-inch display but less endurance. Still, if a combo of style and a long runtime is at the top of your mobile computing list, the Samsung Go is worth the splurge.”

Pros
Eye catching, compact design
More than eight hours of battery life
Roomy and comfortable keyboard
Fast boot time

Cons
More expensive than similarly configured netbooks
Ostentatious Samsung logo

TrustedReviews has a review of the Samsung Go N310 and writes, “While the unusual design of the N310 will win it friends, in most other respects it’s a decidedly average netbook with a relatively high price. If you fall in the love the look and don’t mind spending a few extra pennies then it’s still a nice machine, but there are plenty of cheaper or better alternatives.”

ITReviews has a review of the Samsung Go N310 and writes, “Overall, this is a good take on the near-standard netbook specification for mid-2009. It’s a touch more stylish than some business models, but you pay up to £50 extra when going for the Samsung option. Performance is as good as most of the rest, but battery life isn’t as impressive as we’d have liked.”
