UK sees Samsung NC10 reduced

QueenB — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:16:03 +0000

We recently reported that the very popular NC10 by Samsung had been spotted for 299 Euros, down from 375 Euros. This time round, it’s the UK’s turn to see the netbook reduced.

Originally just Argos had the netbook for a lower price at £249.99 compared to £329.99 at Currys and PC World. Now the netbook is available from PC World and Currys for £239.99, even less than Argos. Unfortunately it’s not quite as simply as going in to the store and picking the NC10 up for that price. The companies have put a £70 reduction on the netbook but the other £20 saving, is claimed via redemption from Samsung. Still, if that doesn’t bother you, go ahead and pick the NC10 up from PC World or Currys for £259.99 and get £20 back.

UK sees Samsung NC10 reduced

Samsung N130 with Windows 7 up for Pre-order

QueenB — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 20:50:20 +0000

The Samsung N130 is already available in the US from both Best Buy and Amazon. Amazon are currently selling the netbook with Windows XP for $362.43 in blue. The Samsung N130 with Windows 7 has now shown up for pre-order but the specifications still refer to Windows XP as the operating system and there’s no image for this model. The page lists the netbook as being available to pre-order for $350.99 making it cheaper than it’s XP counterpart. Another difference among the two listings, is the Windows 7 model is available in pink and not blue. It doesn’t state the release date but, bets are on for October 22nd.

If you’re looking for a new netbook, or still haven’t picked one up, Amazon.De have a great price on the Samsung NC10. The netbook has proved to be very popular with over 1.5 million units shipped and is a top netbook. Last time we saw a price reduction on the NC10 on Amazon.de it was down to 375 Euros, or more for the black model. The netbook can now be found in both white and black on Amazon for 299 Euros including free shipping.

Samsung ship 1.5 Million NC10 Netbooks

QueenB — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:29:11 +0000

The Samsung NC10 has proven to be very popular, which is now backed up by shipping numbers. Not surprisingly, the sleek netbook has shipped 1.5 million units worldwide since it’s release 8 months ago. The NC10 features the standard netbook specs, 10.2 inch display, 160GB HDD, 1GB of RAM etc but, at a slightly higher price in the UK. However when browsing the netbook display in my local PC World, the NC10 is still the netbook which stands out above the rest, so it isn’t surprising to see so many units shipped. It would be more interesting to see how many have actually been purchased though. Hopefully this figure will become public soon as well.

NVIDIA ION powered Lenovo IdeaPad S12 pushed back

QueenB — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:52:36 +0000

While the IdeaPad S12 from Lenovo is available already with an Intel Atom processor in the US and Europe, with the US also able to purchase the netbook with a VIA Nano processor, we’ve yet to see the NVIDIA ION powered model. It was touted to be the first netbook using NVIDIA ION, but Samsung could possibly release the N510, which also uses NVIDIA ION, before Lenovo do, as we’ve already seen photos of the netbook next to the NC10.

The delay in release is because instead of shipping with Windows Vista, the company are holding off until Windows 7 is released and will ship with that sometime in October. Samsung will also be doing the same with the N510, so it really will be a race then, to see who can get their NVIDIA ION netbook out first. When it is released, it will retail for $550, making it only $50 than the Intel Atom model.

Samsung N510 unboxed and compared with NC10

QueenB — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 23:41:10 +0000

Over at NetbookNews.de one of their lucky readers has received the new Samsung N510 which is not considered a netbook, but rather part of the CULV movement. Specs of the N510 are quite similar to what you would find on a netbook, apart from the screen size and using NVidia ION technology. The Samsung N510 features an 11.6 inch display, along with 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, Intel Atom N270 CPU along with built in WiFi, Bluetooth and a web camera. One other small feature you won’t find on many netbooks, is the N510 features one HDMI port as well as three USB ports. With the larger display also brings a larger resolution of 1366 x 768.

Joerg has unboxed the Samsung N510 with photos and shown it in many different angles. But not only that, the N510 has been put along side Samsung’s popular netbook the NC10.

When looking at the two machines while closed, there doesn’t seem to be much of a difference, but when the devices are opened up the difference is size is clear. The keyboard spreads out a bit and makes use of the extra chassis size. The trackpad is also considerably bigger than that of the NC10, but still small in comparison to notebooks. You can view the rest of the photos after the jump.

Samsung Go features FailSafe technology

QueenB — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:47:46 +0000

The Samsung Go, aka N310 which features a rubberised shell, anti bacterial keyboard and considered to be a “kid friendly netbook”, also uses FailSafe technology inside. FailSafe, from Phoenix Technologies provices IP tracking of the netbook along with BIOS encryption.

FailSafe is a unique theft deterrence product and service from Phoenix Technologies that provides you with the ability to protect, track, and manage your laptop and your confidential information if it’s ever lost or stolen.

Encrypt your data, secure your laptop, and protect your identity with FailSafe.

FailSafe is described as being practically impossible to bypass without destroying the hardware and with it the data. Which makes it a great netbook for business executives who need to keep their files safe, despite the rubberised look, which in the end, makes it more mobile to carry around without having to worry too much about knocks and bumps.

Samsung ND10 $50 less than NC10

QueenB — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 11:38:24 +0000

Over at Netbook News, they’ve spotted a netbook identical to the NC10 in China. The model of the netbook is ND10 and is practically identical to it’s predecessor the Nc10. Featuring a 10 inch display, along with N270 Intel Atom CPU. The main difference between the two netbooks however, is the ND10 doesn’t come loaded with an Operating System. Customers can either purchase XP to install on it, or stick with a free operating system like Linux, Ubuntu, Android, etc. With the NC10 being phased out and replaced with the N110, N310 and N510, it’s unlikely that this netbook will be spotted outside of China.

Samsung NC10 hack adds 3G to netbook

QueenB — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:26:20 +0000

A hack and instructions on how to perform it, show users how to add 3G into their Samsung NC10. The downside to the hack however is that you use the WiFi. The WiFi adapter is switched for a 3G modem instead. The hack is very easy to perform though and WiFi can be replaced with a USB WiFi dongle, giving you the best of both worlds, espcially if you find you use both a lot.

The hardest part is taking the case off and opening it up. Once inside the WiFi adapter can be popped out and replaced with the 3G modem. Additional modification could also be made on the netbook, to allow easy SIM swapping by making a small hole in the bottom and soldering the 3G modem in, as jkkmobile have done to a Dell Mini 9. You can view the steps here.

Samsung N510 Ion Netbook Spotted

QueenB — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:30:18 +0000

Remember the Ion powered netbook from Samsung we recently reported on? At the time we only had a few specs and no pictures or price. But thanks to UberGizmo, they’ve captured live photos of the upcoming N510 netbook from Samsung as well as some more information. As previously reported, the netbook will feature a 160GB HDD, 1GB of RAM, a 11.1 inch display instead of a 11.6 inch screen. On the left hand side a VGA and HDMI port are seen. The netbook is expected to retail for $600 when it launches in the US.
