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.

3. 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.

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).
