Samsung’s existing netbooks the N130 and N140 has received a minor update. The computers will now ship with Windows 7 Starter Edition. The updated N130 will be called N135. The N140 hasn’t even undergone a name change.
Except for the OS, the N135 has the same specifications as the N130: the netbook has an Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1 GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive. While the N130 runs Windows XP, the N135 runs Windows 7 Starter. The Samsung N140 is also now available
with Windows 7 Starter.
Windows 7 is fast replacing Windows XP as the preferred OS for netbooks. While the new OS runs just as well as Windows XP on netbooks, the Windows 7 Starter Edition has many limitations. For instance, you can’t even change the background image.
