Subscores
The Samsung N220 is technically identical to the Samsung N210. Its look does however change slightly with a new hood. To check if the screen really is identical on the two models, we carried out our tests with the sensor once again on the N220's panel. The results were the same as on the N210.

Conclusion
Identical to the N210, the Samsung N220 outdoes previous Samsung models. It is one of the best netbooks on the market thanks to its battery life and excellent ease-of-use. A sure bet but the screen and audio could be of better quality. The NC10 only outdoes it in terms of pricing, for the rest it's beaten.
