Samsung N120 Overview
From Samsung NC10 to N110 and now N120, the 10-inch netbook from Samsung is getting better each generation.
Inside this machine, you will find the exactly same components as in N110: an Intel Atom N270 processor running at 1.6GHz, 1 GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive, and other standard features such as the standard 802.11g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, integrated 1.3-megapixel webcam, etc..
What makes the Samsung N120 different from its predecessor are:
- Extended Chasis: The Samsung N120 is about half an inch wider than the N110 model, but almost identical in depth and height.
- Larger Keyboard: The wider Chasis allowed Samsung to implement a full-size keyboard, with similarly-sized keys to those on a 12-inch ultaportable notebooks
- Better Audio: Samsung has moved the speakers to either side of the 10.1-inch screen and added a subwoofer on the left side edge of the body, making the N120 the first 2.1-speaker netbook we know of.
- Visual changes: The glossy design of the N110 is now replaced with the semi-matte finish that’s more fingerprint proof. It requires less maintenance and won’t show up scratches as easily.
