Samsung N20 pre-ordering now

UK TELECOMS GIANT BT is the first UK retail outlet to offer Samsung's new NC20 laptop, albeit on pre-order.

Exercising its god-given right to be utterly vague in everything it ever does, BT has given the pretty little netbook a release date of 'late February' for the Apple-aping white version, and 'early march' for the Darth Vader-stylee piano black one.

Coming soon                                        Coming later

Based around the Via Nano processor clocked at 1.3GHz, the NC20 has a sharp and bright 12.1 inch display which supposedly offers a 30 per cent wider viewing angle than most comparable screens.

Other features include a full size keyboard, 160GB hard drive, Bluetooth 2.0, a 1.3 MP camera, 3 in 1 card reader, a six-cell battery and 1GB of memory as standard.

Microsoft XP Home comes pre-installed but there's no Linux option available.
