Samsung N100: Meego for Php11,495

Samsung also shipped their Meego-powered netbook this week, the Samsung N100. Spotted one in a Cyberzone store today at Megamall.

Samsung N100
10.1″ display @ 1024×600 pixels
Intel Atom N435 1.33GHz
Intel GMA 3150
1GB DDR3 RAM
320GB HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
VGA webcam
USB 2.0
6-cell Li-ion battery
Meego OS

Samsung promises up to 11 hours of battery life but will really depend on the type of use.

Suggested retail price of the Samsung N100 is Php11,495USD 196INR 16,606EUR 187CNY 1,427. I’m sure, with the amount of drive space available, this can easily load Windows 7 and dual-boot it with Meego.

Remember though that the specs are very similar to the older generation, single-core Atom processors so don’t expect really good performance.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Meebo shows a lot of promise. It’s a shame that the project has been abandoned by Nokia. This is one OS that could have given Android a run for its money.

BTW, this is good for students. Give it a nice wrap this December. :)

I tried the first version of MeeGo on my Asus 1015HA before and it ran really well. The only thing that bothered me then was that WiFi connectivity dropped every 30 mins (I’d reconnect and after 30 mins. it disconnected again). I hope they have that fixed by now. Slick UI, bordering that of mobilephone-like.

I’ve been using Ubuntu since v.8.10 and now 11.04.. much as I use it everyday, I’m pretty sure Meego is a lot lighter in resources than Ubuntu.. specially the newer versions.. 8.04 ran fine on my (very) old 386 laptop with 256MB of RAM, but 11.04 kills it.. My guess is that Meego is probably a better fit on the Atom CPU..
