Samsung is yet to officially announce a Pine Trail Atom netbook, but some retailers are selling a laptop called the Samsung N220 which has a Pine Trail Atom processor. This mini-laptop, it seems, is the updated version of the Samsung N140. Here are the specs:
Processor: 1.66GHz Intel Pine Trail Atom N450 processor
Display: 10.1″ non-glossy display with 1024 x 600 pixels
Memory: 1 GB of RAM
Storage: 250 GB hard drive
Operating System: Windows 7 Starter Edition
The Samsung N220 has the regular array of ports. Supported connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 and Ethernet. There are 3 USB ports, VGA, SDHC card slot, headphone and mic jacks. The machine weighs 2.9 pounds and measures 1.4 inches in thickness. Samsung claims that the 6 cell battery will give up to 11.5 hours of runtime. These claims are probably too good to be true, but you should be able to get 7 or 8 hours under real-world conditions.
Pricing and availability
The netbook now sells for 349 Euros in France (about $503 US). It is not available in the US at the moment, but it may in the near future and then it will likely sell for less.
