We showed you the upcoming Samsung netbook last week, and now we have some additional information regarding the unit. Samsung is going for the 10" screen range, and the Samsung netbook’s screen will be 10.2" to be exact. Specs don’t really differ very much from what we predicted last week, but here is the latest info (from Pocketables.net):
- 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor
- 1GB RAM
- 10.2" screen (1024 x 600)
- 80GB/120GB/160GB hard drive options
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 1.3MP camera
- 3-in-1 card reader
- 2.9 pounds
- 6-cell battery
Anyone could have guessed the specs and Samsung unfortunately isn’t brining anything new to the table this time around. They could have at least strived for low cost, however it seems as though the netbook, which should release some time in October, will cost about $550 USD.
WhatLaptop.co.uk seems to be the first to have gotten two official images of the Samsung netbook. Click the image in this post to view it full-sized; swing by the site link if you are interested in the keyboard image. The specs and images look so remarkably similar to the Acer Aspire One that I’m typing on right now, that I feel like I’m already using the Samsung netbook… I hope they give it a name soon so I don’t have to continue to call it ‘the Samsung netbook’!

Imagine that…
Sounds like more of the same old netbook. Knowing Samsung, they’ll differentiate themselves by making this the most expensive one.
This scene is starting to look more like an endless ocean. A name? I have one… Blah!

6 cell battery? That sounds like a good thing. I wonder what kind of battery life this will get.

6cell =good,
10,2″ is rather large,seeing the resolution is only 1024×768 there will be quite some grain on the screen!

good 6cell battery, 3 usb ports, nice looks, good keyboard with a normal location of the right shift button (Asus eee series doesn’t have that only the new N10).
Now hope that it will be available in (online) stores for around 400 euros then I will definitely buy it. I assume it comes with WinXP or will it also be available with Linux?
Pretty anoying indeed that we don’t now what the type name is of this thing.
