Samsung only just announced their curvy N310 netbook yesterday, but the South Korean giant isn’t stopping there, launching yet another mini notebook today called the Samsung N120. This model promises an impressive 10.5 hours of runtime through its long-life 6 cell battery, as well as a full-size 12-inch notebook keyboard for quicker and easier typing.

The N120 comes with the same 10.1-inch display as the aforementioned N310 and will run Windows XP on an Intel Atom CPU. The type of chip, as well as both storage and RAM capacities are not yet specified, however.

The presser does make mention of 3 x USB ports, a 3-in-1 card reader, a 1.3 megapixel camera, 2 x 1.5W stereo speakers with sub-woofer as well as an option of Bluetooth 2.0+EDR. The full 12-inch keyboard will also feature an anti-bac coating that Sammy’s so keen on.

Samsung’s N120 netbook is expected to be available in most markets sometime in April, but they’re leaving us hanging on the pricing also.

Press Release:

It’s the perfect choice for anyone who needs to stay in touch on the go,” said Seong Woo Nam, Senior Vice President of Samsung Computer Systems Division.
