The new Samsung N120 netbook is but a week old and has already seen astounding success with astronomical sales numbers. It’s made the 25 bestselling netbooks list on Amazon, whose affinity for netbooks is well documented.

Whatever the reason for the netbook’s success, it’s definitely going to get bigger from here on out.

In addition to releasing the N110, Samsung will also be releasing the N120 netbook.

The N120 netbook comes with a 10.1″ screen with 1024×600 resolution. Its dimensions are 10.71″x1.71″x7.4″. The netbook comes with an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, Windows XP Home, 1 GB of RAM, and a 160 GB harddrive. The size of the N120 keyboard is 97% of that of a full-sized keyboard (slightly larger than that of the Samsung N110). The N120 runs on a 6-cell battery that offers 5200 mAh of power.

The N110 and N120 models are now both on sale. The base price for the N110 model starts at $469 and the base price for the N120 model starts at $459.

Just noticed that Newegg.com was now offering both new Samsung netbooks – the NC110 and the NC120. The key difference between the NC110 and the NC120 is the larger keyboard form factor of the 120 – a whopping 97% full keyboard size compared to the 93% on the NC110.

Missed this one ENTIRELY a few weeks back (chalk up to my lil vacation away from blogging). Following up on their successful NC10, Samsung has two additional netbooks on the horizon that are sure to dazzle – the NC110 and the NC120. Both netbooks offer better battery life than the NC10 while retaining the same processor – the Intel Atom N270. According to Samsung, the NC110 will have a battery life of around 9+ hours (though LaptopMag found it to be around 7+ hours) while the NC120 is expected to last around 10+ hours (maybe subtract 2 from this value?).

Aside from the battery life changes, you’ll surely love the keyboards on the new netbooks. The NC110 features a 93 percent keyboard while the NC120 will feature a FULL SIZED keyboard. Yes.. you heard me right – a full sized keyboard for a netbook. There is a God.

Of course the NC10 already had an excellent keyboard so all of this is icing on the cake folks.

Additional specs on both new systems include an LED backlit display, a weight of around 2.8+ pounds, a 1.3 megapixel camera, memory card readers, three USB 2.0 ports, and Windows XP Home Edition.

Wondering what these netbooks will be like? Well if LaptopMag’s recent review of the NC110 is any indication, we expect these systems to be winners! The publication had this to say about the NC110 in their March 23rd review:

“Samsung’s updated 10-inch netbook continues to beat the competition with an improved touchpad and more than 7 hours of battery life.”

Good stuff.

One of the new releases attracting a lot of attention at CTIA is the Samsung SWD-M100 Mondi, a mobile WiMAX enabled handheld device that is designed for use with the Clear mobile WiMAX service from Clearwire. The touch screen Mondi includes a slide out lower lip QWERTY keypad and, according to Samsung, ‘many of the powerful features and uses of a laptop computer or netbook,’ in a unit that fits in your pocket…

The Samsung NC20 has a few nice features that should pique your interest. The first thing to note is its size, coming in at a larger 12-inches compared to the 10-inch standard of most machines. Secondly, it rocks a VIA Nano CPU, and is one of the only on the market to eschew the Intel Atom for its less well known counterpart.

Though the VIA Nano doesn’t have the big name of Intel’s chip, it’s turned out to be a decent competitor in basically all categories.

The NC20 netbook may assuage most laptop-to-netbook transitioners’ concerns about small screens, but it sacrifices some of the portability the category is known for.

Samsung continues their foray into the netbook market with the announcement of the new Samsung NC310 netbook. The system features a gorgeous frameless 10 inch display, an energy efficient Intel Atom processor on the inside, a beautiful “pebble design” keyboard, and a 5 hour - 4 cell battery. Personally – love the look of the frameless display!

Yet what makes the NC310 really unique is the anti-bacterial finish on the netbook (and we all know how disgusting keyboards, touchpads, and arm rests can get after just a few days of usage).

Other interesting specs include:

• 1GB RAM
• 160GB HDD
• 1.3 megapixel webcam
• 3 in 1 memory card reader
• Three USB ports
• Optional Bluetooth
• Windows XP Home Edition
• Weight of 2.6 lbs

The Samsung NC310 should be available in May but no word on price as of yet.
