Pink Samsung NC10

Samsung has finally released the NC10 colour every man, woman and child has been waiting for: Hot Pink.

OK, so it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it actually look great and works. The colour isn’t the wishy-washy pink of some other laptops, the slick top looks very expensive (like a £2-grand sony!) and the spec is identical to the other colours.

Best of all is pricing. Whereas most merchants priced the other colours a little higher at launch, Dabs are offering a decent price and Amazon is currently taking orders at a ridiculously low price.

Samsung NC20 – Released February 2009

It’s being reported around the web that Samsung will release the Samsung NC20 in February 2009. So – what will it look like? What are the specs? Is it worth the wait?

Rumoured Specification:

Display size: 12.1″ (2″ larger than the NC10)
1GB of RAM (same as the NC10)
160GB hard drive (same as the NC10)
1.5kg weight (slightly heavier than the NC10)
Via Nano 1.3GHz u2250/u2350 processor (the NC10 uses an Intel Atom 1.6GHz)

Why would they do this?

The big difference here is the screen.

The rumoured specification isn’t a huge leap ahead of the NC10: Just a larger 12″ screen and different processor. The reason Samsung would ditch the ‘Intel Atom’ for the Via processor is that Intel have limited the atom to work up to a 10″ screen only. VIA’s 1.3GHz processor offers similar performance to the Atom, at a cheaper cost, and it will work fine with a 10″ screen.

Should You Wait?

If you are looking for a laptop with a 12″ screen, this will definitely be worth the wait. If – on the other hand – you are looking for something as light and portable as possible, with long battery life, the Samsung NC10 is still the way to go.

Who are Hitwise? Is This Accurate?

In case you haven’t heard of them before, Hitwise is a company who buy anonymous data from internet service providers. They look at the browsing habits of 25-million internet users (25 million!) and they record all the pages you visit and all the terms you search for in Google. So this is pretty accurate stuff.

Good to see the NC10 becoming as popular as it deserves!
