Thanks to our readers who sent us this link to USA laptopmag website review of the Samsung NC20.
Whilst the review is for the Korean version, the article does have a few interesting points in there:
10 Reasons To Buy The Samsung NC20
If you’re trying to convince yourself the Samsung NC20′s the right laptop, here’s a decent start! 10 reasons we think the NC20 is a great buy.
1. The Bigger Screen
The NC20 packs in a lovely glossy 12.1″ display, with a relatively big 1280 x 800 resolution. Samsung lead the world with the quality of their screens and, in this case, they have made no exception. This is a slick LED panel with vibrant colours.
200,000 Samsung NC 20 laptops at launch.
I’ve just finished reading this article about the VIA Nano processor. The article states that the company has shipped 200,000 for the first quarter of the year.
What makes it more interesting that all of these chips are to be used in Samsung NC 20 laptops! Samsung must be expecting a high-demand on the machine after the huge success of their NC 10.
The article has a little comparison about the VIA processor verses the Atom:
The Nano U225 has a lower clock speed than its main competitor, the Atom N270/N280, at a.3GHz versus 1.6GHz/1.66GHz. However, the FSB (front side bus) is considerably faster on the Nano, with a speed of 1333MHz as compared to 533MHz/667MHz. Watt for watt, the Nano is expected to be more powerful than the Atom, but it is also expected to use more watts in the process. We can’t be sure to what degree, but the usual trade-off of battery life for performance will probably come into play here.
We have also done our own investigation into the nano processor, you can find the article here.
Why Does the NC20 Use the Via Nano Processor?
A few readers have asked why Samsung have chosen the Via Nano this time around, instead of the Intel Atom that featured in their Samsung NC10. We don’t know for sure, but here’s what we’ve heard!
Ever wonder why there are so few 12″ netbooks? The reason is: Intel! Their Atom processors are massively popular in netbooks because of their lower power needs.

Black Samsung NC20
Just a quick update to upload a picture of the black NC 20. The machine was also made available to pre-order at online retailers last week.
Looking at the picture, the machine looks fantastic, the black casing looks like it’s made out of the same high quality shiny black plastic found in expensive laptops. It’s going to be tough deciding whether to take the machine in black or white, the black looks a little more professional while the white looks more creative. Either way both machines have the same specification so it’s really down to preference.
