There’s an Intel Atom N270, 1.6GHz processor, 1GB RAM and a 160GB hard drive for the basic components, while Wireless-G Wi-Fi, 10/100 Ethernet and Bluetooth round things out. Indeed, in terms of hardware, it’s the exact same machine. In all honesty, though, there’s no need to get too excited, since the N110 is really a relatively light refresh of the NC10. Suffice to say, then, that the N110 has a lot to live up to. It’s the long-term successor to the outstanding Samsung NC10, which won our coveted Editor’s Choice Award as well as Best Netbook in our 2008 annual awards. And, with Computex quickly approaching and promising a slew of nVidia Ion based netbooks, it’s a trend that’s likely to continue, but in the meantime we’re looking at the more humble Samsung N110. It’s the phrase ‘up-sell’ that’s relevant here, though, because PC manufacturers are desperately trying to do just that with their netbooks – just look at the Asus Eee PC 1008HA we reviewed yesterday for evidence of that. However, our Publishing Manager -an affable Australian with a special love for Excel spreadsheets – can often be heard using the term, often prefaced with other jargon such as ‘top line’, ‘up-weight’ and ‘run rate’ – he speaks the English language, just not as we know it. Up-sell: it’s a phrase that’s heard quite often in the TrustedReviews office, though it’s never uttered by any of the wordsmiths that write these articles.
