Purchased Samsung N128 Mini Laptop

I purchased a Netbook from Samsung(Samsung N128) two weeks ago, and I think it is time to write a review of it.

It is travel-friendly because of its small size, and nowadays I need to travel a lot. While on a journey, it is difficult to carry my laptop because of its size. So, I planned to go for a mini laptop.

I found many products that suit my travel needs.

After checking different brands, I decided to buy Samsung N 128. You must be interested in knowing my experience with it.

Let me share my review of the Samsung N 128 netbook with you. So, you can find out if this product is suitable for you. The below picture shows what it looks like.

Samsung N128 Mini Laptop Review

It is working better than I expected. At first, I failed to find a WiFi adapter driver compatible with Windows 7. The setup disc has only the Windows XP version of the Wireless adapter driver.

I downloaded the latest version of the wireless adapter driver from the manufacturer's website. I must say, the speaker volume is lower than I expected. It has a 1.5-watt speaker. The volume is low, and I need a headset to hear the sound properly. The next point I want to point out is about battery backup.



The shop owner promised me an 8-hour battery backup, but when I checked, it was just 6 hours only. Besides this speaker volume issue, I am satisfied with the Samsung N 128 netbook.

How to Delete / Remove Saved Passwords From Internet Explorer

Have you ever faced the situation where your email username and password auto saved on Internet Explorer browser in a public cafe? One of my friends had such a situation and he didn't know how to remove the saved username and password from Internet Explorer. Comparing to other browsers like Firefox and Chrome, deleting stored username and password from IE is little tricky. With IE7 and above versions, it is simple but for IE6 it is not very simple. This guide explains how to delete auto stored username and password of your Internet accounts on IE 6 and higher versions.



Remove Saved Password From Internet Explorer 6

  1. Open Internet Explorer version 6

  2. Click on Tools

  3. Click on Internet Options

  4. Click on the Content tab

  5. Click on the AutoComplete button
    Clear passwords in IEv6

  6. Now click on Clear Forms and Clear Passwords buttons

The saved passwords and Forms will be removed now.


How to delete passwords and Forms from Internet Explorer 7

The steps to delete saved passwords and Forms from IE version 7 are:

  2. Click on Tools

  3. Click on Internet Options
    clean

    Now click on the Delete button under Browsing History.

  4. Click on Delete Passwords button

Without removing the saved data on the browser, he went to change his email password in order to protect his email account from other users on that computer.
