Samsung may not be the most seasoned laptop maker in the American market, but you couldn't tell by the quality of its netbooks. The NC10-14GB debuted earlier this year with one of the biggest netbook keyboards (93 percent), while the NC20 (check back soon for our review) launched as one of the few with a 12-inch widescreen. But the fun doesn't stop here. Continuing this success is the Samsung N120 (12GBK) ($470 street), a 10-inch netbook that hones in on the typing experience, much like its predecessors. Its full-size keyboard is a rarity on a netbook, and its parts are consistent with those of some of the top netbooks in the market. The only pitfall is its price, which is about $100 more than that of the ASUS EeePC 1000HE and the Acer Aspire One (10-inch).
