Yes, I have been checking every day. I even wrote them a note. I want that netbook!

I’m waiting for it to be on Amazon specifically because I have a rather large gift certificate I intend to use. But if you check the US Samsung official site, they have two other online retailers listed and you can buy directly from them. Awesome! Makes me wish I had an affiliate link for Samsung.  And a gift certificate. So it goes.

I wouldn’t balk at other people writing to remind them that a netbook of this caliber would certainly make an excellent addition to their catalog. I’m not the only one, right?

I’ve been sitting on this for weeks and weeks but now I can finally say it: I am totally in love with the Samsung N110 and I’m buying one the instant it comes out.

We had this in Laptop’s offices a while ago to review and I spent maybe 5 minutes with it before I knew I had to have it.  The NC10 was my former favorite, and the N110 boasts a slightly more rounded design, a larger trackpad, and more battery life. It has the same fantastic keyboard, thus making it one awesome netbook.

It’s not out until April (though Amazon – and I am SO there whe the pre-order page is up) so I have time to save up my pennies for it.

I’m so excited, I can’t tell you!

The Samsung NC20 arrived in our office today.  It has to go back from whence it came in a week, which saddens me.  I haven’t had a chance to play with it much, but it’s essentially a 12-inch NC10, and I love me the NC10.

Having a 12-inch system stretches the definition of netbook a bit, I agree.  My boss told me long ago (I think the day I interviewed) that he felt consumers who go for netbooks really want 12-inch ultraportables that don’t cost an arm and a leg.  Figure out how to combine the 12-inch form factor with a $350 asking price and you can go swimming in the money you’ll make.  (I’m paraphrasing here.)

Dell came out with the Mini 12, but it had a slow hard drive, 1 gig of memory, and Vista.  Yeah.  Even though you can get it with XP now, I don’t see the Mini 12 tearing up the netbook charts.  The NC20 may have a better chance — after all, the 10-inch version is pretty popular.  I think it all hinges on our review :)

As does, I suppose, my true desire for it.  We’ll see how I feel after I’ve played with it for a bit.

Last night I dreamed that I finally bought a black Samsung NC10 and showed it off to everyone. When I woke up I was horrendously disappointed that it wasn’t all true. This makes me a huge dork, I think.
