Samsung to Release the NC20 in February

The Samsung NC10 may still be a too young entrant into the netbook market, but that wouldn’t stop Samsung from following it up with a more powerful successor to their netbook. Words on the street say that Samsung is already preparing to launch the Samsung NC20 come February 2009.

And what does the NC20 has to offer?

• 1.3 GHz VIA Nano U225 processor
• 12.1-inch display
• 160 GB Hard Drive
• 1GB RAM
• Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet
• 3-in-1 card reader
• 1.3 megapixel camera

Interestingly, the said netbook or should I say notebook would not use the Atom Processor but the VIA Nano processor instead? Shall we stop calling this a netbook and consider it as a regular, affordable notebook instead?

The Samsung NC20 will retail for around $642. The more reason that it should be considered as an affordable notebook PC.
