Samsung NC20 - The Best Netbook Keeps Getting Better
The second generation netbooks are finally here. Samsung, Asus, Acer, HP, and Dell announced their new models last year and have started shipping them worldwide in mid-Feb 2009. And they have raised the bar again by going upscale with features like:
- Minimum 10.1-inch LCD display
- Optional 3G or WiMax broadband connection
- 6-cell high capacity Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery
- Improved broadband and streamyx power
- Larger solid streamyx modem password drives (SSD)
Consumers in a tmnet streamyx modem market are looking for affordable Internet devices to maintain their lifestyles. They are purchasing these portable Internet devices to complement their laptops rather than replacing them. And they are buying the concept streamyx promo small form factor, ease of Internet access, and affordable pricing. ABI Research is predicting a market register streamyx for netbooks over the next few years with worldwide shipments of nearly 35 million this year, rising to an estimated 139 million in 2013.
The New Samsung NC20
Samsung decided to pass on the Intel Atom processor and went with the Via Nano and Streamyx HC3 integrated graphics for better performance. Most manufacturers still use the Atom processor along with the somewhat dated graphics chipset. The Nano loads HTML, XML and JavaScript pages faster than the Atom.
It also ups the netbook ante by going with a glossy 12.1-inch 1280 x 800-pixel WXGA display instead of the standard thus making it more in the class of an streamyx contract notebook.
Externally, the NC20 looks very much like a bigger NC10. The keyboard is now a whopping 97 percent versus the 93 percent found in the previous model. This is still the largest size available for all netbook models and accommodates almost all hand sizes.
Interestingly, the NC20 has a display viewing Streamyx of about 150 to 160 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees vertically. This comes in real handy when playing back 720p and 1080p video content. The device handled these multimedia formats easily without overtaxing the processor - the Via Nano and Chrome9 processor did an Streamyx job.
This could be the perfect multimedia portable Internet device and destined to the best mini-notebook of 2009. That's two years in a row...
