Samsung NC20
One of the best things I like about the new Samsung NC20 is that unlike most Netbooks it has 12.1 inch screen and actually one of the very few laptops with Via’s Nano CPU. Here are some of the features of this laptop: It has a1.3GHz Via Nano processor, RAM of 1GB, VGA output, Bluetooth 2.0, a 1.3 megapixel camera which is quite useful for video conferencing, hard drive of 160GB and comes with Windows XP.
Another excellent feature of this laptop is that it actually has a larger touchpad compared to most of the netbooks. The full-size keyboard seems to be easy to use; however, there seem to be no quick launch buttons. This however is a common thing for most netbooks. The laptop does not have HDMI ports or ExpressCard slots.
As, mentioned above this is one of the few netbooks with a 12 inch LCD screen. It offers a 1,280 by 800 pixel resolution. In addition, it has Chrome9 graphics, which give it an edge over most of the netbooks that usually use Intel 945 graphics. The measurements of the laptop are 11.5 inches wide and 8.5 inches deep. The weight of the netbook without the adapter is 3.3 pounds and 4.1 pounds with the adapter.
The audio quality of the NC20 seems to be above satisfactory. It may not be the ideal gaming laptop, however that being said the video quality isn’t that bad either.
The new design of the Via Nano CPU in this laptop seems to give it an edge in some cases over most netbook which have Intel’s Atom processor.
The battery life of the laptop may not be the best in the market like Acer Eee PC 1000HE; however, the six-cell battery is pretty good when compared to laptops like Dell Mini 12.
The laptop comes at a price of $549.00.
