Samsung Electronics, yesterday launched their latest Intel Atom powered netbook, the N120. Basically a wider version of their N110 with a bigger keyboard and longer lasting battery. Featuring a full size 12" keyboard and a larger touchpad, this netbook is perfect for those who always find the usual netbook keyboard a little cramp. Powering the N120 is a long-life 6 cell battery that is rated to last up to 10.5 hours which is one of the longest we've seen so far on a netbook. Its sibling, the NC310 is capable of 11 hours straight. Also embedded in the N120 is a SRS 2.1 channel sound system, featuring 2 x 1.5W stereo speakers on each side on the screen and a dedicated sub-woofer. Other usual features include Bluetooth, memory card reader, 3 USB ports and a built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam. No news yet on the price or whether the N120 will be available locally, but judging from the US price tag of the N110 of USD469 (RM1,700++), the N120 will probably fall into the premium netbook bracket. P/s: and you see ? just stepping above the MSI's 9hr battery standby... ( mysterious sound: have u heard about Hp elite books ?)
