Samsung and Dell working on 11.6-inch netbooks
Looks like the era of 11-inches mini laptops has landed. Perhaps that is the reason that every netbook manufacture is now releasing 11.6-inch netbooks everyday or so. Reports are now coming that Samsung and Dell are now working on an 11.6-incher. Both will have a display resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels.
Unfortunately, do to Microsoft OS policy, the netbook manufactures are not able to use the ‘fast’ Atom N270/N280 processor in the netbooks that are more than 10.2-inches. They are forced to use the slower Atom Z520 processor that runs at a comparatively slower speed of 1.3GHz.
When we reviewed the Acer Aspire 751, we found that although the processor was able to handle the Windows XP OS fairly well, the boot up and shut down times were more than what we would want them to be.

Just what I´ve been waiting for. Samung N120´s follower?
With an internal 3g modem, N120 wonderful specs (audio, low noise, keyboard …) It was only the beziel around the screen that showed that i could have a larger screen and higher resolution. IT IS GOING TO BE THE NETBOOK KILLER if only Microsoft wouldn´t hinder Netbook evoloution. Maybe one could put in an Atom N280 processor and a 500gb drive. What more do you need? Way to go, SAMSUNG!
