Samsung’s relatively long-awaited N510 netbook has arrived in the states, just in time for Cyber Monday. It’s a fairly standard ‘ol netbook, but Samsung is marketing it as the “entertainment netbook,” featuring a 16:9, LED-backlit display with an NVIDIA Ion processor for 720p HD capability. That should look pretty nice, even if the screen is only 11.6 inches. It also boasts a 7-hour battery life, 3 USB 2.0 slots, a 3-in-1 card reader, and interestingly, Windows XP (though some retailers will surely sell units equipped with Windows 7). At $599, it’s a little on the steep side for a netbook, but look for this price to drop, perhaps as a doorbuster item in the lead-up to Christmas.
