Samsung prepping a light blue NC10 netbook

light-blue-nc10

Hot on the heels of the pink Samsung NC10, I introduce the light blue model. Notebook Italia reports that Samsung will soon introduce a power blue version of its popular netbook.

Other than the new color, there’s nothing particularly distinctive about this new model. It will sport the same 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM and 6 cell battery as other Samsung NC10 models. It also has the same excellent keyboard and should get the same excellent battery life as other NC10 models (around 7 hours).

If pink or light blue aren’t your thing, the netbook is also available in dark blue, dark blue, and black from Amazon for about $450.

Samsung, MSI add a little color to their netbooks

Red MSI Wind U100Looking for a netbook that doesn’t come in the usual black or white color scheme? Acer, Dell, and Lenovo already offer a choice of colors. And now Samsung is jumping on the bandwagon, with the release of a blue model of the Samsung NC10 netbook.

MSI, which has already released black, white, and pink versions of the MSI Wind U100 is also expanding its color lineup with a limited edition red model. The cherry red MSI Wind U100 will only be available in Taiwan at launch, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it show up in other countries in the not too distant future.

Asus unveils blue Eee PC 901A

Hot on the heels of the gold colored Eee PC 900A, Asus is showing off some pictures of an upcoming blue Eee PC 901A. French language site Blogeee and German language Eee PC News both have a whole slew of press shots.

The deep blue color looks awfully similar to the shade of blue Acer picked for the Acer Aspire One. Coincidence? Eh, maybe.

And before you ask, no I have no idea what the A stands for in 901A. The Eee PC 900A is basically an Eee PC 900 with an Intel Atom CPU instead of the original Intel Celeron chip. But the Eee PC 901 already has an Atom processor, so maybe the A stands for blue? Wait, that can’t be right.
