Gift Guide: Samsung GO Netbook

Samsung Go N310 Netbook (Style-o-phile, Under $500)

A secret about good design: Beveled edges are always a win. But weighing under three pounds, coming in four rubberized colors, and boasting a battery life of about nine hours helps as well. We took this little guy to NY's Fashion Week, and the fast start-up time, large pebble keyboard, and crisp, LED background display made onlookers a little jealous. With 160-gigabytes (GB) of storage and three USB ports, Samsung's Go N310 netbook ($480) acts like more of a mini-laptop than a 'portable-only' device. It's perfect for anyone who travels, but needs to check in with the office using more than just Web mail. Designed by Naoto Fukasawa, the Go is legitimately stylish, and slides easily into a shopper or hobo bag with nary a fuss.
