sThe Samsung N310 isn’t available in the US yet, but UK retailer Ebuyer is now selling the laptop for £365, or about $600 US. The netbook features a rubberized case, a chiclet-style keyboard, and a long lasting battery. Samsung claims that the standard battery will run for about 5 hours, while there will be an extended battery option that should provide 11 hours of run time.
The netbook has a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 glossy display, and runs Windows XP.
It looks like Ebuyer has an exclusive deal to distribute the netbook in the UK for now. Or at least the store has an exclusive on the blue version of the Samsung N310. It should also be available in red, but the press release doesn’t say anything about the red model.
