Samsung 300U laptop review - features and specs of the lightweight 11.6-inch laptop Samsung 300U1A-A01

Samsung 300U 11.6-inch laptop

Samsung 300U / Samsung 300U1A-A01 review. Samsung 300U is a laptop that has the form factor and looks of a netbook but definitely performs like a real computer. What you get is ultra portable solution that best suits business users who need to work on the go. That of course doesn't mean that it wouldn't be useful to students and other users who have an extra $500 to spend on mini-laptop.
The 11.6-inch HD LED display of the Samsung 300U is a real beauty. Not only it performs great with nice vivid picture bit it is energy efficient and doesn't drain the battery as most regular HD displays. The native video resolution of this display is 1024x768 pixels. The screen is anti-reflective so viewing your content outdoors and on direct sunlight wouldn't be such a problem as it usually is with conventional displays.

Nokia Asha 302 review - price, features and specs of the new Nokia smartphone Asha 302

Nokia Asha 302 review

Nokia Asha 302 review. This new entry-level smartphone from Nokia looks and feels nice to use. That is thanks to the fast 1GHz processor but unfortunately the phone has only 128MB of RAM (256MB flash/128MB RAM combo memory) which is too low by any standards. The good thing is that the phone runs under the new S40 Asha OS which doesn't need as much memory as some other modern operating systems.
Nokia Asha 302 has a nice 2.4-inch QVGA TFT display with 262,000 colors and 320 x 240 resolution. The screen is bright and does not consume a lot of energy which makes it just perfect for this phone. All navigation keys and the QWERTY keyboard are also illuminated and they are also very easy to use.
The phone itself is not very big but it is thick which makes it very stable when holding. Nokia Asha 302 measures 115.2x58.9x13.5mm in size.
Generally the phone feels solid and well build, unlike many of its predecessors. It has this Nokia feeling to it that it is going to last many years. That is definitely a good thing for this phone and for the brand in general.
The battery (BL-5J) of the Nokia Asha 302 is 1320 mAh and it holds charge for some 3-4 days of moderate use. The biggest drains for this phone are the built-in WiFi and the 3G connection so it all depends how much you are going to use them. Talk time is actually very good and I am pleased with the performance of the battery.
