Samsung are to release a netbook with an ION chipset. Ion is a chipset with GeForce 9400M integrated. The Samsung N510 will also feature an Intel Atom N280 processor, 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD. Bluetooth and WiFi N are also both in the netbook, along with a web cam and built in card reader. The screen is a bit bigger than the traditional netbook at 11.1 inches. As expected the operating system is Windows XP.

The netbook also has a VGA and HDMI port so it can be plugged into an external display. It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to use both at the same time with the LCD or even without the LCD being used.

The netbook should also come with a 6 cell battery. No information on release date but it’s expected to be $600 in the US when it launches.
