Samsung N510 Goes Live in the UK
On other 11.6″ netbook news, the Samsung N510 is also now officially up on the Samsung UK website and can be pre-ordered from UK stores such as Amazon UK for £429.00. The UK model has slightly better specs than those released in the rest of the continent with an Intel an Atom N280 processor and 5900mAh battery so if and when it comes out in the States, we can expect similar specs (more or less).
The UK model will run on Windows XP Home and comes with ION LE. The US can expect the N510 after October 22nd. Three guesses why 
UK users have already been putting the N510 through the fire, and I chose one video from Fungus-T showing the N510 playing HD videos.
Which one are you be most looking forward to?
