Samsung ION netbook line-up to include N508, N510 & N511 models
August 11, 2009 at 12:17 pm
All of the buzz on Samsung’s upcoming Nvidia ION-powered netbook has been on the NP-N510, which is rumoured to include a 11.6-inch high-resolution display and launch later this month in Europe. However, we can now reveal that this will not be the only ION netbook from Samsung.
Samsung is also planning to release two further models, the Samsung NP-N508 and Samsung NP-N511. We don’t have any details on specifications or availability of these previously unheard of models. However a sensible guess would be that the N511 may include a different Atom processor whilst the N508 could sport a smaller display – maybe a 10-inch ION netbook?
All of this is guesswork on our part and hopefully all will be revealed shortly. One thing’s for sure though, Samsung must believe there is a big enough market for the ION platform to release three netbooks using it.

Great find!
I’m very curious to see how they differ form the better known N510.
I also found that the N510 might feature the Ion LE chipset, rather than the standard Ion. But different sites have different listings.

The dream would be that the 511 is the same 11,6″ laptop but with the new dualcore 330 atom processor, full Ion chipset and a really kick’as battery that last as long as the Nc10. Give me 2 gb RAM by dealfault and 250gb HD I’m more than satisfied. I guess the price would be pretty high, but you have to count the batterylife and size when comparing to the small Notebooks.

I hope we find out more very soon, before the release of the N510.
I would hate to get my order in, and then find for £30 or so more, I could have got a better netbook.

Are any of these Ion netbooks available with something, anything, other than Windows?
