Samsung’s entrance to the netbook market has appeared, together with some predictable specs. The unnamed ultraportable is at the top end of netbooks in terms of size, with a 10.2-inch 1024 x 600 display, but like 99-percent of rivals is based on Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor.

In fact typical response time is 5ms under normal use.
