We have received word from a reliable source that Samsung’s ION-powered N510 11.6-inch netbook will be available to buy in UK retail from the first week of September. We can also reveal that the recommended retail price in the UK will be £449. This seems right when placed against the rumoured European price of €499 and US price of $599.
We have also seen the full specification list of the UK N510 SKU. For those worried about battery life, then fear not. The Samsung N510 will be shipping with a 6-cell 5900mAh battery that should be good for 7.5 hours of use according to the company. The netbook will come with a HDMI port and a chargeable USB port. The whole thing will weigh 1.46kg.
There has been some speculation whether or not the N510 will use ION LE, which uses a DirectX9 GPU instead of the DirectX10 compatible 9400M (ION) chip. From the information we have received, the Samsung N510 will be using the ION platform and not ION LE. You can check out the specs after the break.

Anyhow, the wait is almost over!
Sorry, just don’t see the value in this one – there’s just not enough more for your money, and the price puts it up against entry level Dual Cores shipping with Vista. I think Samsung have made a mistake with this one, but happy to be proved wrong!

If it doesn’t have the 9400M GPU then its not any different to the other Samsungs…..
[/quote1251052847]
It should have the Nvidia 9400M though it may be restricted in hardware to DirectX 9. There may be some other restrictions as well… This is depending on whether it it the ION or ION LE platform.does anyone know if this will have a sim input for hsdpa?
i might “accidently” break my nc10 and replace it with this with currys what ever happens policy 😛
when it comes out obviously lol
