Samsung’s upcoming N510 is the company’s first laptop based on the NVIDIA ION platform which bundles a low power Intel Atom CPU with a higher performance NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor. The laptop will sport an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, and a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 CPU. But you already knew that. Here’s what’s new: two sites are showing close-up photos of the new notebook.
Legit Reviews and Blogeee both have images, from what appears to be the same press event in France. The N510 looks a lot like the Samsung NC20, which has a 12.1 inch display and VIA Nano processor. But in addition to having a smaller screen, the N510 has an HDMI port for HD video output.
The Samsung N510 also has a 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, VGA output, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and Bluetooth. It ships with a 6 cell battery.
I bought one of these and I havent pulled my pants up since…..!
Yea, matte screen is much needed for these Laptop Computers. But Samsung knows how to make solid displays.
I worry about the glossy screen and single trackpad button. Please, please have a matte screen.
I was interested until I remembered Sammy never has a Linux option. I’ll be damned if I’m paying Microsoft for the privilege of buying a new computer.
hdmi is more important as a compact connector that converts to dvi.
How often will you send your video from a netbook to a HDTV? I did it once (via VGA) just to try it out but haven’t done it since. I would rather have another SD(HC) slot.
oh, guess your bezel’s not so small now, mr n510… yeah, THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT!
Yep, the bezel is larger than the Acer/Gateway/Packard Bell models with 11.6″ screens. So the machine will be a little bit wider. I’m disappointed that they are appear to be using the same (less-than-full-size) keyboard as the Samsung NC20.
Why not put a genuine full-size keyboard on this?
However, 6-cell battery + Ion graphics is a nice combination. Hopefully that 6-cell will be built into the case and be the default battery.
