This 10″ laptop can be thought to surpass the original models such as the NC10, N110 and the N140 so if you want the next generation netbook from Samsung then this version is well worth a look.

Samsung N140

Ths Samsung N140 Netbook hit the UK at the end of Summer 2009. By September many new owners were proudly showing off their brand new N140 netbooks! This model represents an evolution of the N-series range and features some welcome updates to a market leading product.

An overhaul of the design, improved features and competative price ensured that the N140 was an instance success with those who have not yet bought a netbook, or who are perhaps upgrading from the first generation machines of early 2008.

The N140 is built on the same solid foundations as the excellent N-series range of netbooks from Samsung. Once again we see class leading battery life from this exciting new machine, offering up to 11hrs of performance.

The Samsung N110 is essentially an updated NC10.  It is very similar in shape and form with a few minor design changes. The main difference between the NC10 and N110 netbooks is that the latter is supplied with a superior battery and possessess a larger touchpad.  It is also decorated with a red trim around the edge, but other than that the two models are essentially the same.

The Samsung N120 netbook was released in 2009 and was the first in a batch of 4 new models released in the early half of the year.  This model was based on the solid specifications of the earlier NC10 netbook but featured a number of enhancements and a 100% sized keyboard allowing for a more comfortable typing experience.

The Samsung NC20 netbook was the second low cost ultra portable laptop to be released by Samsung following up the success of the NC10.

The NC20 stands out from the rest of the netbook market thanks to its larger 12″ screen and full sized keyboard.  This model is therefore a fantastic choice for anyone who has always like the idea of a buying a netbook but has been put off by a smaller screen and hard to use keyboard.

Despite being slightly larger than most devices in this class, the NC20 is still very light weight and easy to carry around.

The real attraction to the NC20 is the increased size compared to the typical 10″ netbooks such as the NC10.   Many of you might have found the smaller models just a little to difficult to work on, perhaps the screen size is too small or maybe the keyboard is hard to type on.  Well if this is the case then the NC20 is perhaps your best option for buying a low cost ultra portable computer right now.

The Samsung NC20 netbook utilises the VIA Nano processor, almost all of the current competitors on the market are using the rival Intel Atom Processor.  This chip compares very well against its competitor and in some cases has been shown to out perform in specific tasks.

Samsung N510 Review

The Samsung N510 is one of the first computers to come to market using the nVidia ION platform and will therefore be the market leading netbook when comes to graphical power output.  Although it will not be able to compete with top range laptops and desktop gaming machines the N510 will be able to run games and output video far better than any other older model has been able to in the past!

The N510 has been spotted on a number of websites although large numbers have not started shipping yet.  Check out the Amazon page here.
