Looks like Samsung is on fire! From the past couple of days, they are releasing a new netbook everyday. Today, they are unveiling the Samsung N120. It has 10.1″ display and other usual netbook specifications. But what makes this netbook different from the rest of the manufactures is the keyboard. You would say, how is it different from the other netbooks with 10-inch screens?
Digitalhomethoughts have got their hands on the recently released Dell Mini 10. In the video, Jason has given a hardware overview. I’m myself happy to see the great keyboard, which also has full right shift key. The Dell mini 10 is one of the few netbooks which comes with HDMI port. One more nice feature in mini 10 is the small AC adapter, which looks very similar to the one found in the ASUS EEE 700-series. The ones found in other netbooks (esp Aspire One 8.9-inch) are rather bulky.
Acer is planning to product a business version of its Aspire one netbooks. A couple of days back, we mentioned about the 11-inch Aspire one. That one will be known by Aspire One 731. Acer is also going to produce a 10-inch version of the 731, which is will be known as the Aspire One Pro 531. Both of them will share similar specifications.

From the past couple of months, a lot of (white-box) netbook manufactures have entered the netbook market. As a result of that, the supply of the N270 is able to meet the huge demand of the manufactures. Intel has decided to increase the price of the N270 Atom processor to the extent that the price of the N280 processor will be same as the N270 processor.
If the price of the N270 will price same as N280, why not just switch to N280?

The 10-inch Acer Aspire One (D150) has just started to show at the shelves and now, we’ve already started getting news of its bigger brother, which will sport a 11.6-inch screen. Unlike other netbook manufactures, not only the screen size has been bumped up, but also the resolution. It is now 1,366 x 768. Other specs include:
What I am not able to get is why the netbook manufactures are making the netbooks bigger and expensive. There should be restrictions on the maximum size of the netbooks. I’m sure that very soon, DVD drives will become norm in the netbooks. The original idea of netbooks was to be cheap and portable. The newer netbooks are NEITHER.
The SAMSUNG NC20 was all set to be released by newEgg in US in the month of March. Now, it has been delayed to the month of April. The model that will be made available in US will come in only one color: black. In case, you have forgotten the specifications of this 12-inch beauty, here they are:

A forum member at UMPCfever has posted a hand drawn picture of a new mysterious netbook from Fujitsu. It has been named M2010 and will be unveiled in the month of July (2009). By the looks of it, it seems to have a 10-inch screen. But, the netbook in that picture looks like any other netbook in the market. If you ask me, it looks more like EEE 1000H or EEE 901 with smaller touchpad. The month of July is not far away and if you ask me, it will be too for difficult for Fujitsu to leak just hand drawings to the world before its launch.
