"samsung nf210"Samsung announced its NF series netbooks with ‘shark’ like designs at IFA today. These include NF210 and NF310. The NF310 is powered by a 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 processor. It has a 10.1 inch HD display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It is available in silver color. The netbook runs Windows 7 Starter Edition. It is expected to go on sale this fall for $399.

The Samsung NF210 has relatively less impressive specs. It is available in ivory color and a has a single core processor and a 1024 x 600 pixels display. Curiously this laptop is only $20 less than the NF310. Samsung claims that both netbooks will get around 10+ hours of battery life.

On the bigger and badder end is the SF Series. Similar to the netbooks, the mainstream laptops have glossy lids with the new wave like edges. According to Samsung’s global press release, they’ll be available with Core i3 / i5 processors and in three different sizes — there’s the 13.3-inch SF310, 14-inch SF410 and 15.6-inch SF510. The US team tells us the $749 Core i3-powered, 500GB hard drive-packing SF510 will hit the market soon and will be a Best Buy exclusive. We got a peek at that one as well, and similarly love the new chiclet keyboard, though we’re hesitant on this one’s single-button touchpad. Until we bring you some full reviews, there’s additional details in the press release below and some hands-on shots in the gallery
