Samsung-N220 Samsung-N150
Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation launched the latest additions to its award-winning range of netbooks, the Samsung N220 and N150. Designed to provide maximum personal freedom, the N220 delivers up to 12 hours* of secure connected mobility, while the N150 keeps on going for up to 8 hours*. This impressive battery-powered performance is possible because overall power consumption is reduced by their energy efficient LED display, optimized processing performance and Samsung’s proprietary Enhanced Battery Life solution.

TheN220 and N150 also have several display features that enhance the visual experience. The new netbooks’ 10.1" LED anti-reflective display fine-tunes movies and images with the sharpest details and boldest colors, with no mirror effect under bright lights or in sunny weather. Using the integrated Easy Resolution Manager tool, screen resolution can easily be changed if a program or game needs to be viewed in 1024x768. For added visual enhancements, the N220 and N150 offer an integrated Digital LiveCam for video-conferencing or live messaging.

With a slim and elegant design and extensive quality assurance testing the N220 and N150 are stylish and reliable. The N220 features Samsung’s new crystal pattern design, while the N150 sports an integrated hinge for smooth movement and a high quality feel, so everything blends effortlessly together even when the netbook is open.

Add in a mark and scratch-resistant Samsung durable casing to reduce the risk of damage, and it all adds up to a great long-term value.

The new netbooks come with a range of tools for greater ease of use and safety. Firstly, the “Instant On” capability of the Phoenix HyperSpace™ tool, featured on the N220, allows the devices to turn on and immediately go online without waiting for Windows to boot, while their “Smart Power Management” conserves more battery power without user intervention. The AnyPC** remote PC access application enables a secure One-Click connection to a home or office PC, making it safe and easy to transfer and view files while on the go. The Samsung Recovery solution allows you to easily format, back-up and recover your data without using CDs. It allows you to automatically and regularly back up your files to the hard drive

The Samsung N220 and N150 incorporate Intel's latest processor, the Intel® Atom™ N450, which is specifically designed to deliver an amazing Internet experience using netbooks. Based on an entirely new micro-architecture, the Intel® Atom™ processor increases energy efficiency to extend battery life, while delivering enhanced mobile performance and increased system responsiveness.

“Featuring an elegant choice of designs, the Samsung N220 and N150 lead the range with a pragmatic approach that takes ultra mobile computing into a whole new dimension. Longer battery life is an important issue for customers, and we are proud to deliver feature-rich netbooks that allow you to get wirelessly connected so easily and for such a long time,” said Eric Sulit, head of Samsung Electronics Philippines IT Solutions Business.

Like other Samsung netbooks, the N220 and N150 have been awarded the leading environmental and usability standard, TCO Certified, and are ECO RoHS compliant.

As well as being ergonomically designed for optimum ease of use and performance, Samsung netbooks are also completely mercury free and consume significantly less power thanks to their LED backlit displays. Their ultra-lightweight, robust and compact design also offers other ‘green’ advantages, as less power is used in the manufacture and usage phases of their product life.
