Netbook Scoop

Samsung is preparing to launch the new N510 series netbook. Listed below is the set of features that the N510 will have. You will see that Samsung will be using the Intel N280 processor that runs at 1.66GHz.

Here is what we know so far:

• 11.6-inch Display
• NVIDIA Ion Graphics Chipset
• Intel Atom N280 Processor
• 1GB RAM
• 160GB Hard Drive
• WiFi b/g/n
• HDMI Out
• 6-Cell Li-Ion battert
• Webcam
• Bluetooth
• Multi-format card reader
• Windows XP home

One of the big new features that the Samsung N510 will offer is the capability of playing high-definition video. The NVIDIA Ion Graphics chipset teamed up with the Intel Atom N280 processor makes this possible.

The display will have a 1,366 X 768 resolution which will make viewing high-definition video very nice.

One machine that would possibly rival the Samsung N510 is the Acer Aspire One 751. The Aspire One 751 will fall short when comparing it to the Samsung N510.

One of the issues the Aspire One 751 has is the lack of a powerful processor. It comes with the Intel Atom Z5XX series processor which is significantly slower than the Intel Atom N280.

This in return will not give the Aspire One 751 the capability to play high-definition video.

As we get close to a launch date for the Samsung N510 we will keep you posted. This is one of the netbooks that I personally am looking forward to getting my hands on!
