Device powered by Intel's new Atom N450
Samsung's upcoming Pine Trail-equipped N220 netbook temporarily surfaced on the website of a French retailer, although the listing was quickly removed. The netbook integrates a 10.1-inch LCD with 1024x600 resolution, while the internal components are based on Intel's Atom N450 CPU and GMA 3150 graphics. Further specs include 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and an integrated webcam.
The Pine Trail processors are claimed to offer improvements to power efficiency, with 20 percent less consumption for netbook-size devices. Samsung's N220 appears to ship with a six-cell 5900mAh battery with 11.5 hours of run time, however the housing bulges out from the bottom of the netbook.
The French site listed the N220 with a price of €349 (~$500 USD), although the launch date and North American pricing remain unknown. [via netbooked]
