Where Can I Buy a Pink Netbook?

A forum user recently signed up to ask the question, where can I buy a pink netbook? If I remember correctly the question was posted by Ted McFists, a Truck Driver from Newcastle. Although I might be wrong about that. The original Sammy netbook, the NC10, used to come in pink, but this model hasn’t been seen in the shops for a long time. Feel free to let us know if it is still in stock anywhere! Search for Pink Netbooks in the UK here Pink Netbooks for All Sammy fans will be aware tha...

Samsung Shift a Million Netbooks in Q1 2010

Judging by traffic to this site, and the number of visitors from the US, I had been under the impression that Samsung’s early netbook success was slipping.  But a recent report compiled by iSuppli suggests otherwise. According to figures compiled by Digitimes.com Samsung shifted 1.9 million mobile PCs in the first quarter of this year and about 50% of these were netbooks. In the US, Samsung managed to displace both Sony and Apple in the sales rankings to reach the number seven spot. Here&...

I must admit I am liking the look of the new Samsung N230 netbook.  Many of the new models, with some obvious exceptions, have seemed fairly so-so but the N230 looks kinda cool!

LaptopMag.com has put up a review of the Samsung N150 Plus.  A variation of one of the recent netbooks, which, for now has a limited distribution.

Samsung Tablet Update: Galaxy Tab

As has mentioned before here on the SammyNetbook.com blog, Samsung are promising to deliver a tablet or two later on in the year. As I’ve also said on this blog, I’m a big fan of the touchscreen tablet concept and look forward to buying one myself. I don’t quite know which model yet, but possibly a Sammy…  and not an iPad (not at UK prices at least!). Although it makes sense to share tablet info here at SammyNetbook.com I don’t want it to drift completely off topic...
