Samsung NF210 Dual-Core Netbook hits stores

what good is a dual-core processor if you’re on a mediocre GPU and OS?

Maybe he got confused. This is a netbook right?

deym 10 hours battery life? and only 24k? sayang sana eto na lang binili ko :( i recently bought a netbook, lenovo ideapad S10-3t which is also a touch tablet. sobrang mediocre ng battery life nya 2 hours lang on a single charge minsan nga hindi pa eh. aside from that ang bilis pang uminit. balak ko ngang ibenta and bumili uli cause im not really happy with it. lesson learned! wag maging atat hehe

sana may review na dito para malaman tlga kung totoong 10hrs yan battery..

specs are impressive!

10.1” LED display @ 1024×600
Intel Atom N550 1.5GHz Dual-Core
2GB DDR3 RAM
320GB SATA HDD
Intel GMA3150
Bluetooth 3.0
WiFi 802.11b/g/n
4-in-1 card reader
3 x USB 2.0 ports
6-cell Li-Ion battery
0.3MP webcam

PARA NGANG HINDI NA NETBOOK E

@piolo
Where in those specs did it say that it’s not a netbook?

for 3k more u get a bigger screen, hyperthreading, hd graphics, dvd-rw and upgradability…

so what is the point?

@manong:
the point is mobility.. i doubt if anyone intends to work full time with a screen this small.. simply using it for browsing and the occasional light gaming and encoding..

it may not be much, but its a good alternative to the iPad, if mobility is the intention.

@biggs

desktop pc ata ang ibig nyang sabihin. :D
i hope mareview na sya agad. :)

@dreadblack/biggs

ever heard of e-machines & neo and even msi laptops? your know-about is quite limited… please read more yugatech topics please!

you know what is really mobile and has actually long battery life?

a smartphone! next would be a tablet… i hope dreadblack & biggs know about those gadgets! some are below 20k btw…

Acer-eMachines D730 332g25mn 25,995 (from PC Corner)

Nokia N8 23,699

Pasensya na po mas mura pa ang desktop eh…

the price of this netbook is good but, i hope that they’ll quit on using Intel GMA and opt on using Nvidia ION instead.

oops, i forgot that Acer-eMachines D730 is a laptop…sorry! i was so hasty.

@lawrence
i almost liked this except from the fact that this laptop has only an Intel GMA as its graphics processor, not Nvidia ION (which is cheaper and better). but, i can still say it will be a good buy because this netbook comes with a dual-core processor. A dual-core processor and a weak gpu like Intel GMA is not really good for HD videos while dual-core processor and an Nvidia ION will surely bring good HD experience. If you love to watch HD videos in youtube, don’t buy this…

at this price range you can buy a netbook with much better specs that will enable you to experience an intensifying HD experience. I’ll pick an Asus EEE PC 1201N because it comes with a much lower price and better gpu.

i doubt someone could browse for 8 straight hours using that small screen… hope his eyes won’t bleed and his fingers don’t go numb for that scrolling sideways and downwards.

maybe 3 hours, which a laptop actually do… and more.

I presume you don’t travel much? Well, I do. It’s not that I use my netbook for more than 3 hours straight, but I often don’t have access to an outlet to charge my batteries while on travel. So having a netbook that I could actually use within the day without re-charging is a plus for me. Well, that’s just it. For me. who travels a lot. So, I guess, same as with any other gadgets, it depends on your needs.

@lawrence

malamang ikaw si lawrence of arabia.. sa disyerto nag-ttravel? kamusta na rin po kay tarzan!

i have nothing against netbooks except for the price of some which nears laptop level but way below performance.

we recently used this in our barangay election.. it lasted for about 8hrs+ (playing music while searching for names and precint)

Has anyone tried Linux on these?

Please tell me which is better for client’s discussion using Excel, PDF & Video’s…
1. Netbook
2. Ipad

All I need is handy & lighter.
Thanks.
