Samsung N120-12GBK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 6 Cell Battery Customer Review
I am not computer savvy but it is easy to operate. I travel with it and it does the job. The screen is very small (It is a Netbook so they call)so it can't replace a real laptop or desktop. The price is good value for the money. Room for improvement:I still like it lighter and longer battery life.
