After a lot of talks, Samsung has finally announced the release of the 12.1-inch Mini-notebook that is powered by VIA Nano processor, named as the Samsung NC20.
Boasting its ability to offer superior performance and battery life in a sleek form factor, the latest computing device unites the power efficient 1.3+GHz VIA Nano ULV processor U2250 with the highly-integrated VIA VX800 system media processor.
Featuring a stunning 1280 x 800 12.1-inch display, the mini-notebook also sports a full-size 12″ notebook keyboard with optimized 18.5mm key spacing and a larger touchpad.
“We are delighted that Samsung has adopted the VIA Nano processor for the Samsung NC20. This is a truly ground-breaking product that sets the new industry standard for consumer mini-notes and clearly demonstrates the advanced performance of our VIA Nano processor platform,” noted Richard Brown, Vice President of Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc.
Weighing merely 1.52kg, the Samsung NC20 comes with an integrated VIA Chrome9 (DirectX 9.0 3D graphics, hardware video acceleration), 1GB DDR2 SODIMM (memory), 160GB SATA 2.5″ HDD, 0/100Mbps LAN, 802.11 b/g wireless and Bluetooth. It is believed that the laptop comes with an option of a solid state disk apart from a SATA hard disk drive.
At 292.4 x 217 x 30.7mm, the portable laptop even features a built-in 1.3 megapixel digital motion camera, a 3-in-1 memory card reader and three incorporated USB ports.
It works on six cells Li-ion battery that has the capability to deliver up to 6.5 hours of operation time.
Samsung maintains its silence on the pricing and availability details of the NC20 Mini-notebook.
