New Samsung N310 specs and pictures

Samsung revealed its new N310 netbook which is scheduled to launch in the next months. The N310 differs from usual netbooks because of its unique, rounded pill shape design and Super Bright glossy display.

According to Samsung Hub, the funny looking Samsung N310 features the usual specification for last generation netbooks: 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB hard drive, integrated GMA 950 graphics, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR. The netbook weighs just 2.7 lbs / 1.23 kg and has HSDPA and/or WiBRO (Korea’s WiMAX), most likely depending in which country it will be sold. There will be two battery options, a standard battery which lasts 5 hours and a high capacity battery which will probably last up to 11.5 hours.

Some prices have leaked already. Electric Pig reports that the N310 will be available in the UK in May for £399. No word on the US price or release date yet. At first, the N310 will only be sold in black, followed by the blue model in the UK.
The netbook will also be available in Germany for 499 Euros on April 6th, according to Netbooknews.de.
Due to this rather high price, there might be even more inside the stylish N310, but that’s speculation.

While the insides of the new Samsung N310 netbook are quite usual, the design is not. It’s about time that netbooks differ more on the design side and Samsung clearly takes a shot at this. The choice of colors and the rounded shape make the N310 look kind of toyish and playful. Finally, a notebook besides the new Apple Macbooks features a display that eliminates into the frame.
