I got my hands on Samsung’s latest netbook, the Samsung N150, in their recent laptop launch in Intercontinental Hotel last Tuesday and it literally wowed me! How could Samsung have merged style and awesomeness without sacrificing reliability in this 10.1 netbook? Man, this could really be your next netbook… a colorful one!
The Samsung N150 is packed with all the juicy features you need: a decent processor and memory, ample hard disk space, long battery life and gadget theft-protection software. On the plus side, you have 3 skin color options – black (for the gadget freaks), yellow (who wishes to turn themselves into Yellow 4 of Bioman) and pink (for kikays). And here’s the shocker – you can buy this for only PhP21,900 SRP.
