14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung has released a significant number of products over the past week, decided to fully take advantage of the advertising potential of the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show. The company released hard drives, mobile phones, an e-reader, a transparent laptop and, of course, Pine Trail netbooks, among other things. CES is over, but Samsung doesn't seem to mind, as it has stealthily introduced the N135 netbook and a refreshed N140.
These releases aren't exactly new products. The company updated the already-existing N140 model and outfitted it with the Windows 7 Starter operating system, whereas the N135 also runs Windows 7, but, otherwise, it is just a renaming of the N130 model. The products make use of the 1.6GHz N270 or 1.66 GHz N280 processor, a 160/250GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM and a 10.1-inch, LED backlit screen.
The N140 model is designed with HD audio, has 3W stereo speakers (1.5W x 2), three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA output and an RJ45 (LAN) port. The netbook also boasts the 802.11bgn wireless connectivity, 10/100 Ethernet and can be charged using a 40W AC adapter. It uses the N280 chip for processing power and has the larger hard drive, namely of 250GB.
The N135 has the same specs as the N130. It also uses a 10.1-inch display, has HD audio but only one 1.5W speaker. The model, like the slightly more powerful N140, boasts three USB 2.0 ports and its connectivity capabilities are provided by a 10/100 BaseTX wired Ethernet LAN port and 802.11 b/g/n wireless. The netbook also features an RJ45 (LAN) port and VGA output. Finally, the N135 employs the N270 central processing unit.
As extra similarities go, both products have microphone jacks, a 3-in-1 card reader and a 0.3-megapixel webcam. They employ Intel integrated graphics and use six-cell batteries. In addition, the two products are backed by a one-year warranty. More information may be found here.
