Samsung shows off LTE-packing netbooks at MWC
Samsung's just busted out some more news from MWC, and one of the hottest items on offer are its LTE netbooks -- the first ever. Sammy's showing off the previously launched 10.1-inch N150, NB30, and N220 -- all with the same specs otherwise, but now packing the company's own, in-house designed Kalmia LTE modem chipset. There's no word yet as to when we can expect to see one of these bad boys on the market (though we certainly expect them to show up this year) -- so far, Samsung's only saying it'll deploy them "according to service schedule and market demand." You don't say? Check the full press release which is after the break (which includes each model's specs).
Samsung hops on Atom N450 bandwagon with N210, N220, N150 and NB30 netbooks
Keeping the news flowing fast and furious, Samsung has come out with a quartet of new netbooks, distinguishable primarily by their battery life. The N210 and 220 take the lead with a purported 12 hours of "connected mobility," while the NB30 (11 hours) and N150 (8.5 hours) are none too shabby either. The N150 differentiates itself with an "integrated hinge," while the NB30 focuses on durability with a HDD protection sensor and a water-tight seal that protects the netbook from up to 50cc of water. Still, the machines do share a lot, including an Atom N450 at their heart, and a 10.1-inch anti-reflective screen, plus -- you'd be better sit down for this -- mark- and scratch-resistant casing. Does this mean the end of the fingerprint-loving netbook? We can only hope so. Full PR blurb after the break.
Samsung's Pine Trail-boasting N220 netbook spied in France
We've been seeing a fair amount of netbooks equipped with Intel's Pine Trail platform since they were announced early last week, and it looks like we're going to be seeing at least one from Samsung in the very near future. This one -- the N220 -- was just spotted in France. The 10.1-incher packs (as you'd expect) an Atom N450 CPU, GMA 3150 graphics, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth, plus a webcam and a 6 cell battery which should supposedly get around eleven and a half hours of battery life. It comes with Windows 7 installed, and as you can see from the photo, one of the available colors will be glossy green. It's going for 350 euros in France, so, if the price stays comparable when (and if it) hits North American soil, we can expect it to cost somewhere in the realm of $500.
