Notebook NP900X1B by Alex-Bueno (Feb, 2013)The display has a good resolution, much better than an ordinary net-book.
Notebook NP900X1B by Potz804--Potz (Jul, 2012)I got mine a few weeks ago and if you can live with the 11.6" screen format this is a great portable laptop.
screen resolution
Notebook NP900X1B by David-W.-Roberts (Jul, 2012)A good example would be the glass on touch screen phones.
Notebook NP900X1B by Potz804--Potz (Jul, 2012)The matte screen is very bright and sharp and the keyboard is great if you type a lot, is well laid out, has nice features, an led on the caps lock key and an "fn" lock, which lets you use the secondary F key functions as default as well as changing the arrow keys to home, end, page up and page down keys instead of having to hit the fn plus the key.

battery life

5 hour
Notebook NP900X1B by talthing (Sep, 2011)The battery life seems to be sub-par (2 1/2 to 3 hours using continuously - not even streaming video or audio - and, yes, Ubuntu has power management settings which I've configured).
Notebook NP900X1B by NYCB-lover (Oct, 2012)My usage of laptop is very light (emailing, shopping, MS office from time to time, not even any social network sites that everybody uses)but I still consider battery life important AS THIS IS DESIGNED FOR PORTABLE USE.

Keyboard
SAMSUNG Notebook NP900X1B 11.6", 1.3 GHz, 1.95 GB, 64 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by S.-Curcio--Gator-Bay-Outdoors (Sep, 2012)What's more, the illuminated keyboard makes it much easier to use in the dark.
SAMSUNG Notebook NP900X1B 11.6", 1.3 GHz, 1.95 GB, 64 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by talthing (Sep, 2011)I love the keyboard and display (especially the keyboard backlighting).
SAMSUNG Notebook NP900X1B 11.6", 1.3 GHz, 1.95 GB, 64 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by talthing (Sep, 2011)Popping the bottom off to look at the hardware, there is no 204 pin memory modules so it looks like replacing/upgrading the memory is difficult/impossible (I'm not brave enough to try extracting the motherboard to see if the modules are on the other side below the keyboard).
Screen
SAMSUNG Notebook NP900X1B 11.6", 1.3 GHz, 1.95 GB, 64 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by David-W.-Roberts (Jul, 2012)I should also mention that I'm typically someone who is very bothered when electronics are made of fingerprint prone materials.
SAMSUNG Notebook NP900X1B 11.6", 1.3 GHz, 1.95 GB, 64 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by David-W.-Roberts (Jul, 2012)There is a glossy plastic frame around the screen that I would deem as a 'magnet', but you shouldn't be touching the screen with your fingers anyway.
SAMSUNG Notebook NP900X1B 11.6", 1.3 GHz, 1.95 GB, 64 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by talthing (Sep, 2011)I've got 2 external monitors running...one is on a USB display (UGA USB video adapter) and the other is through the mini HDMI port.
Ssd
SAMSUNG Notebook NP900X1B 11.6", 1.3 GHz, 1.95 GB, 64 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by talthing (Sep, 2011)I do love the fact that the SSD is PCI-E (and can be replaced).
SAMSUNG Notebook NP900X1B 11.6", 1.3 GHz, 1.95 GB, 64 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by Potz804--Potz (Jul, 2012)On the down side, the ssd is only 64GB but you can use the on board mini sd card to save space and it has bluetooth to connect assorted devices.
SAMSUNG Notebook NP900X1B 11.6", 1.3 GHz, 1.95 GB, 64 GB HDD | Rated 20% by by Charles-R-Vinal (Sep, 2012)Anyway, after one week of use the SSD drive failed and everything on it was lost.
Weight
SAMSUNG Notebook NP900X1B 11.6", 1.3 GHz, 1.95 GB, 64 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by Potz804--Potz (Jul, 2012)This is now my favorite travel computer and couch surfer as it is lightweight, fast, very quiet and does not heat up.
SAMSUNG Notebook NP900X1B 11.6", 1.3 GHz, 1.95 GB, 64 GB HDD | Rated 100% by by Ali (Apr, 2013)I'm a heavy computer user.
Harddrive
SAMSUNG Notebook NP900X1B 11.6", 1.3 GHz, 1.95 GB, 64 GB HDD | Rated 40% by by Redhouse (Dec, 2011)On a 1 Terabyte or 5000 Gig drive it doesn't really matter very much, but on a 128 gig SSD drive, that is a large percentage of the drive and substantially cripples the capacity of the computer.2) I purchased this and right away the Wi-Fi (wireless connection) was inconsistent and undependable.
