Samsung N510-4B with NVidia Ion now on sale at $599

samsung-n510-fron2t

Yet another Ion-powered netbook is now on sale – this time it’s Samsung’s N510-4B and Newegg.com has it listed at $599.99. It’s a solid performer, but what are you getting for just South of $600?

Intel Atom N280 at 1.66GHz
2GB DDR2 memory
250GB SATA-II hard drive
802.11 b/g/n wireless
Bluetooth 2.1
1.3 megapixel webcam
11.6″ 1366×768 LCD display
6 cell, 5900 mAh battery
Windows 7 Home Premium

As Netbook choice points out, the unit is currently shipping with NVidia’s ION LE chipset (contrary to what we were originally told). It’s still a solid performer, and an excellent option for those of you in the market for a slightly larger (and more powerful) netbook.

Wow, that would be awesome if it were actually price according to it's featureset…

Is this thing matte? Wishful thinking. Additionally, I think a lot of people overlook the costs associated with Windows 7 Premium when you look at the cost of computers. Is this one overpriced? I dunno. Is it the most powerful, lightest, smallest package possible at this price point? To clarify powerful, let's compare single core with single core. Graphic/video power is what really matters let's be honest.

Since this is less powerful than the Asus Eee PC 1201n (in processor and graphics apparently), yet $100 more expensive…I'm going to go ahead and pass.

is this a joke? 600 bucks? no thanks… I will get a mini 311 or a aspire 1410.. or the wonderful eee pc 1201n
Samsung, I'm really disappointed :-/

It so expensive. The UL20A Asus is about $500 in Amazon, a far more powerful, sexier looking unit.

Why even bother with an Atom that cost much much more?

You can buy a dell inspiron 15 inch with older dual core 2.1 ghz for $449
GET REAL

we are talking abt 1.5KG and below. The Inspiron 15 inch is like 3KGs. No relevance here

Can't say I'd compaire a Asus Eee PC 1201n 'favorably' against the Samsung N510 give that Atom 330 in teh Asus will burn through its battery three times faster.

Actually I made that comment to compare what you can get for the money. I bought a asus 1005ha and am very happy with the performance, and runs windows 7just fine. The whols point of the atom cpu is low cost netbooks in my opinion.I paid $389 and think thats a little high.
Thats about as overpriced as netbook as i have seen compared to specs and other netooks,
michael

Agree with you Scott. The price difference between CULV and Atom seems to be getting closer. I'd rather go for a CULV anytime as I find it much faster.

Ont he other hand, when you got deals like the Asus 1008 going for $260, it becomes so tempting to go back to the Atom. You US people are so lucky. In Asia, the 1008 is still pricey.

If anyone can show me a CULV has come close to an ion netbook video/gaming performance let me know. Until that happens, CULV are barely an afterthought for most people who are under 30. More power is meaningless if you have crap GPU.

most people over 30 don't install games on their notebooks/netbooks as it often the main cause of crashes. If they do play games, they have a dedicated console like PS3 or Wii.
