Why wouldn’t Samsung integrate the watertight seal on the N210 and n220 models, as well as the free-fall sensor?
Samsung doesn’t believe that buyers of the more expensive n210/n220 computer are interested in protecting their data if they should bump or drop their computer, or spill a drink on it?
This is an example of computer makers becoming stupid by making too many models, confusing not only customers but themselves as well.
