Cool Bananas ‘OldSchool’ Netbook Messenger Bag – Review

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Netbook Choice kindly reviewed the popular Cool Bananas ‘OldSchool’ Netbook Messenger Bag for us. Here’s a quick overview of the comments, although you may want to read the full review here.

“The messenger bag has very classic styling as judged by its ‘OldSchool’ name. It is made out of high standard materials and wouldn’t be seen out of place for business use. Even just looking at it screams of premium quality.”

“As befits the styling of the messenger bag, it’s nice to see that Cool Bananas embossed its logo into the flap rather than including its usual coloured logo that would have seemed out of place. The exterior is made out of a soft leatherette material. You’d be hard pressed to tell the difference between real leather as the texture looks and feels very similar.”


“Overall, reviewing the OldSchool Netbook Messenger Bag reinforced the high regard we have for Cool Bananas products. There is no doubting the high quality of craftsmanship that has gone into its construction and the premium feel of materials used.”


“The only surprising thing about the bag is the price. It feels much more expensive than it is, for less than £30 you get a messenger bag that would not look out of place for business use. This is perhaps where the bag is targeted with the ability to carry around netbooks up to 12.1-inches in size along with enough room for documents and small accessories. Even for everyone else, it is a stylish bag that should last for a long time and comes fully recommended.”

You can buy the Cool Bananas ‘Old School’ Netbook Bag at the GearZap store for £29.97 (at time of publishing). It’s available in a choice of Black or Brown.

Essential Accessories For The Samsung N130/N140

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

The Samsung N130 and Samsung N140 are amoung the the best selling netbooks of 2009/10. With a well thought out design, excellent battery life and a decent price – theres no wonder why it’s so popular.

There are a wide range of netbook accessories on the market, but which one will be right for you and which one should you go for? To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of the best accessories for the Samsung N130 / N140.

1. ZeroShock IV Netbook Case – Black

The first thing you’ll need for your Samsung Netbook will probably be something to protect it from knocks, bumps and scratches when you carry it around. With so many netbook cases available now, it can be difficult to choose the best one. However, we can highly recommend this sleeve type case from Japanese company Elecom. It’s called the ZeroShock IV and offers unrivaled protection for your netbook. The inside of the case is lined with low rebound polyurethane (slow depression, slow return). Combined with the tubular outer rim, this material offers the ultimate light weight shock protection.

2. 2 GB Memory Upgrade for Samsung Netbooks

For all netbook owners, upgrading the memory is a must! Increasing your memory (aka RAM) from 1GB to 2GB will significantly increase the speed of your netbook, allowing you to work faster. Samsung Netbooks are easy to upgrade and should take no longer than 5 minutes. Prices of memory are currently so cheap, that you can’t really afford not to upgrade. We reccomend buying high quality netbook memory such as Crucial/Lexar.

crucial_netbook3. Samsung External DVD-RW Multidrive

Netbook manufacturers typically forego DVD drives in order to reduce their size and keep the price low. If you want to install software, watch movies or rip CD’s then you should buy an ultra-portable external CD/DVD drive. They’re essential when it comes to installing or re-installing Microsoft Windows on your netbook. We recommend the Samsung Slim External DVD-RW as an excellent high quality solution at a very good price.

4. Samsung Netbook Car Charger

This car charger for your Samsung Netbook will allow you to top-up the battery en route to your next destination. The compact design makes it ideal for travelling and can easily be slipped inside a case or bag. Simply plug and charge, it works in conjunction with your netbook battery to automatically stop charging once the battery is full.

5. Gelaskins for 10″ Netbooks

If you want to personalise your Samsung N130 / N140, there’s nothing better than Gelaskins. These are removable covers for protecting and customizing your Netbook. They feature stunning, photo quality graphics ranging from fine art prints to contemporary urban images designed by artists from around the globe.

6. Cool Bananas ‘ShockProof’ Netbook Bag

If you need room to store your power adapter and accessories, then a netbook sleeve may not be for you. Fortunately Cool Bananas have a wide range of netbook bags with carry handles and accessory pockets – ideal for people who like to carry around a charger and mouse etc. The ‘ShockProof’ bag is made of thick memory foam which absorbs knocks and bumps very well.

7. XS Micro Bluetooth USB Dongle

If you own the Samsung N130, you have probably realised that it does not have integrated bluetooth like the N140. The best way to add bluetooth to this netbook is using the smallest bluetooth usb dongle in the world. It’s perfect for adding bluetooth wireless capabilities to a laptop or computer because it doesn’t stick out, this means you’ll never need to worry about it snapping off or damaging your computer. Once inserted the dongle will sit almost flush with the USB port, you could even leave it connected permanently. The Micro dongle enables you to connect many different bluetooth devices to your computer (multiple devices can be connected at the same time).

If you’ve not seen the accessory that’s right for you, then why not browse our shop at gearzap.com. If you have any more suggestions or comments to add to our Samsung N130/N140 list, please feel free to share them with us.
