Samsung N150 Overview
Posted by jez in Site News
I haven't mentioned much about the new Samsung N150 yet here on the site, the other three new models (the N220, N210 and NB30) have been getting most of the attentions.


View the Samsung N150
This N150 YouTube video from netbooknews.com gives a great idea of what to expect from this latest update in the ever popular netbook range:

Points to note, the design is much improved over previous models with a very neat slim looking chassis, scratch resistant outer casing and a notable solid build quality. All these features add up to give the netbook a solid look and feel. The keyboard is similar to the NB30 version and a welcome enhancement over the N130 and N140, however a single mouse button is still included.

And a feature that many prospective owners will appreciate, the N150 comes with a non gloss screen! There is also the potential of 3G connectivity but whether this is available will depend on where you buy your N150!

Availability
The Samsung N150 has been spotted for sale in the US over at Amazon.com, however I haven't seen it here in the UK yet. If you see the N150 in stock then please let us know!



For more chat about this model check out our Samsung N150 forum area.

Further info can be found on the Samsung N150 wiki page.

Samsung N220 RAM Upgrade and Internals
Posted by jez in Samsung Netbook News
Thanks and credit go again to nDevil. Here we see the N220 dissected for our viewing pleasure. nDevil points out a spare PCI-e which might prove useful to anyone willing to invalidate their warranty in exchange for a hardware upgrade. If you do put anything cool inside your N220 then please let us know about your N220 hacks in our forum.


Samsung N220 Internals


What RAM do you need to upgrade the N220 to 2gb?
The official specifications note the following:

  • System Memory 1GB (DDR2 / 1GB x 1)
  • Memory Slot 1 x SODIMM

So like all previous Samsung Netbooks, only 1gb of RAM is supplied. This is actually fine for most owners, however given the current low prices of RAM the 2gb upgrade is something that you might want to do anyway. Sooner or later your N220 will be thankful that it has the extra room to play with!

Buy an N220 Ram upgrade... check out everyone's fave online retailer Amazon: US or UK

How to add a PCI-E slot to a Samsung NC10
Posted by jez in Hacks - Hardware
Many thanks to graemem for posting this nugget. Remember, these types of hacks should be attempted only by competent individuals who understand the risks. This site nor Samsung will be able to help you if anything goes wrong, perform this update at your own risk!

Adding a PCI-E Slot
The NC10 has an empty space on the motherboard and many have wondered if it could be utilised. Well one brave owner has had a go at installing a slot. You might want to do this to install a hardware video decoder for HD movies for example.

Samsung all-in-one multi touch PC: Samsung U200 and U250
Posted by jez in Misc
Thanks to Notebookitalia.it for bringing this to my attention. This falls outside the netbook realm but is something I'm interested in as our PCs and living rooms continue to merge. It doesn't take a long stretch of imagination to see that all in one devices will become more prevelent in our homes as our dependence on Internet connectivity continues to increase.

This is also hopefully a sign that Samsung are pushing on with touch technology and perhaps we'll see a Samsung touch screen Netbook or even a Samsung Tablet sometime in 2010. With Apple's "iSlate" on the way this will surely be one of the hottest devices for the next decade.

Samsung U250
Samsung have recently put out some more information on their all in one touchscreen PC, the Samsung U250. Early indications suggest a fully functional PC with 500gb storage, all the expected connectivity, an optical drive, and a stylish design that would look smart in any living room.



More information and photos can be found through the following link.

Multi Touch Samsung U200
The U200 is a slightly smaller version of the above, with a 20" diagonal compared with the U250's 23" multi touch screen.

More information can be found here.
