According to a remarkably lengthy review penned in Russian, the NC20 is a real stunner. Somehow, Samsung managed to stuff six hours of battery life into a machine with a 12.1-inch display, which ought to please anyone truly looking for ideal netbook functionality. Of course, it didn't fare so well under intense gaming pressure, and even the art of multitasking with three or more applications seemed to bog it down. That said, we are talking about a netbook (and not an ultraportable), and its ability to handle HD video was rather impressive in its own right. So far as we can tell, reviewers were pretty pleased with the overall package given the relatively low anticipated price (we're hearing $500 or so for the US market), but you can draw your own conclusions by giving the read link a visit.

6hrs battery still and 12.1" + 1280x800.

Think the NC10 is going on sale soon :p
 
The CPU and GFX chip are pretty darn different!

If I do get one then i'll just swap the 2GB from the NC10 :p
 
But then that would make it way above £300 !

The NC20 at $500 actually seems a bit expensive too I suppose in that regard since the conversion rate isn't too far apart.

Hmmmm.
 
Open it, then your heart will sink into the NC10's sexiness :)

I am going to buy some metallic gloss plastic spraypaint today to spray my lid a different colour :D
 
Unboxing and first look at NC20


Have to say I do like the glossy screen as I am a big fan of them for clarity and depth of the image displayed.

Once again I'm pondering if I should sell my NC10 while I still have the chance to make decent cash on it!
 
Does it use the same gfx chipset as NC10? if so then it should be fine as my NC10 runs Win7 with no cpu usage in Aero, in fact the sidebar gadgets used more CPU than dwm :p
