Samsung NC20 12-inch Netbook: Samsung opts out of Intel chips for a 1.3GHz VIA Nano processor and its matching integrated graphics chipset; the move gives the system a claimed 6.5 hours of battery on a stock 6-cell battery pack. Netbook display is 1280×800 that also affords a full-size keyboard and trackpad.
The system has the full features of a typical high-end netbook with a 160GB hard drive, 1GB of memory, Windows XP Home and a 1.3-megapixel webcam. Expansion is also similar with three USB ports, Ethernet and a 3-in-1 card reader providing physical connections. Samsung hasn’t said how soon the NC20 will be available or what its final pricing will be.
