PC Advisor liked the built-in 3G wireless broadband capabilities of the Samsung N220 but also felt that it would win fans with its impressive design and excellent battery life. This netbook has a well laid out keyboard with good travel to the keys, and a bright and clear screen, although viewing angles are average and the resolution makes the desktop appear a little cramped.

"... Portablility is this netbook's true strength. While the dimensions and weight are similar to the other machines, the 575-minute battery life beats just about every netbook around. With this kind of longevity, you can easily work all day on a single charge. The screen is another highlight, with images appearing bright and vibrant, thanks to the inclusion of LED backlighting. ... The Samsung N220 is a well built and stylish machine with a truly amazing battery life. Combined with the bright screen and strong usability, this is an all-round excellent netbook that we highly recommend."

"We’ve been impressed with Samsung’s previous netbooks, and the N220 follows suit. Having a high-capacity battery pushes the price up, and many will complain that anything over £300 shouldn’t even be called a netbook. But if you want something that’s well-designed, comfortable to use and able to be free of the mains for many hours, the N220 should definitely be on your shortlist."
