One, two, three … that’s the time it takes for the Samsung N230 to boot. Three seconds and then Samsung N230 fully operational in Microsoft Windows 7. This is apparently how this is accomplished: “All settings are automatically saved on the hard disk when you close the screen or press the button. And since the computer does not go on standby, but shuts down entirely, you can even remove the battery without the risk that the information disappears. Once you open the screen again, it takes only three seconds for the computer to boot, and you can now easily continue where you left off. ”

Seven-Hour Battery Life

The N230 weighs just over 2 pounds and the battery life, according to the manufacturer, is seven hours on this 10.1-inch netbook, which sounded like a lot a few years ago. Nowadays it’s about average. The fact that it starts about ten times as fast as the average laptop is however really interesting, and it looks like Samsung will offer the same feature on its older models, the N150, N210 and N220.

Other than the quick-boot feature, the specifications are instantly recognizable: an Intel Atom N450 processor, Windows 7 Starter, 1GB RAM, 250GB hard drive, and a 1024×600 LED-backlit screen (matte).
