Samsung NC20: netbook alternative with VIA Nano CPU

The notebook market is currently in full swing. There are now more mobile computers sold than desktop systems, which makes the market interesting for manufacturers. The emergence of the so-called netbooks, for those who did not know: small, cheap laptops, creates a stir in the industry.

No manufacturer could afford not to come. With a netbook However, the little lapdogs also enable the companies face a dilemma: the profit margin on netbooks is not very high and they nibble market share from the larger and more profitable models. In addition, the CPU of the netbooks almost unanimously come from a manufacturer: Intel. The chip giant imposes stringent requirements on the netbookmakers if they want to use.'s Atom N270 CPU Choose the creators make also be equipped with Windows XP, their system, they must also have to comply with the restrictions of Microsoft. Almost all netbooks are therefore identical as regards specifications: 1GB memory may not exceed, the hard drive gets a maximum storage capacity of 160GB and the screen should not exceed 10.2 inches.

Do the manufacturers have their model stand out in the crowded netbook market, then they will have to come. With different specifications Reportedly, they are also busy negotiating with Intel to ease the requirements. Intel will not easily give in to the pressure, this is the position of the chip manufacturer to be generous. That may change as netbookfabrikanten an alternative in the choice for a CPU.

VIA NanoThe VIA Nano CPU is one such alternative. Samsung is one of the first manufacturers to the Atom competitor and build into a notebook or in its NC20. Because this model does not have a 8.9 "- or 10.2" screen, has only a 12.2 "screen, the model is not to be regarded as a netbook netbooks intro seems to be misplaced, but what we are. will see that the specifications of the NC20 are almost identical in two important respects from that of the average netbook: besides the cpu alternative model has a larger screen, so that is only possible because it is not chosen for the Atom N270.

We have the NC20 placed opposite the HP Mini Note 2133: a netbook with the C7-M CPU VIA and this chip is as pastor of the Nano to consider. Obviously we compare Samsung also an Atom netbook, so we get a good picture of the performance of the Nano compared to its closest competitor.
