Samsung N130 and Samsung N140 Netbooks to be launched soon – Ho Hum!

Besides planning to launch their CULV-based Samsung X120 and X420, Samsung Russia has announced two new 10.1-inch netbooks: Samsung N130 and Samsung N140. It has ho-hum specs, nothing unusual or special:

• 10.1-inch display
• 1024 x 600 resolution
• Intel Atom N270 for N130 and Intel Atom N280 for N140
• Intel GMA 950 graphics
• 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM
• Draft-N WiFi
• 0.3MP Webcam
• 3 USB ports
• VGA output port
• 3-in-one Card reader

Look at the audacity of Samsung: Releasing a netbook with the Atom N270 processor in the Q4 of 2009! The N130, that has an Atom N270 processor and a pitiful 1.5W mono speaker comes with a 3-cell (2300 mAh) or 6-cell (4000mAh) battery. This is the same company that released the revolutionary Samsung NC10 netbook an year ago which sported a marvelous 6-7 hours of battery life.

The higher end Samsung N140 has an Atom N280 processor though. It also has Bluetooth 2.1, 3W stereo speakers and higher capacity 6-cell batteries (5200 or 5900 mAh). Gratifying, I must say. You can get one in white, black or dark blue color. Nothing is known about its pricing.

Samsung’s two new CULV notebooks planned and will be launched soon

Samsung is buckling up to launch a couple of new CULV-based notebooks, the 11.6-inch X120 and the 14-inch X420. Currently, 13-inch CULV notebooks are in huge demand right now, but Samsung seems to be satisfied with their bigger CULV notebooks.

Going back to the X420, which has an 14-inch display backed by a SU2700 CPU, 3GB of RAM and 250GB of hard disk storage. The X420 will cost you over €700, and if you look at the specs mentioned above, you would surely hesitate to go for this kind of deal. The only thing that sparks a little excitement in us about it is its weight, which is just 1.7kg and its long battery life of upto 9 hours.

Whereas X120 will be powered by a Celeron 723 processor and for this you will have to pay €550. That is more than what one would pay for Acer 1810T notebooks.
