Overview
The Samsung NB30 burst onto the scene in January 2010. This model was Samsung's first attempt to create an "ultra durable" ultra mobile PC which was able to withstand limited water contact and sudden shocks.

- Splash proof keyboard. Forum regulars will know that unfortunately netbook owners have the occasional spillage! The NB30 has a better chance of surviving than other models.
- Anti-shock hard drive. The hard drive should be more resistant to drops than other models.
Touch Screen
The NB30 is the first netbook to feature a touch screen version. This comes at an additional cost and is not a feature of all editions so if this is something you require make sure you buy the right version!
TouchPad
You can tune the numerous touchpad settings to your preferences: disabling the "tapping" function, ajusting sensitivity, configuring the "Application Gestures", Momentum, Edge Motion, ...
