Toshiba And Samsung Looks Toward Netbooks

Toshiba and Samsung have picked up on the netbook craze with plans to enter the market as well, shortly after we reported that Sony also wants in on the game. Both companies hope to make the grade before the year is over, with Toshiba rolling out the Satellite NB105 while Samsung’s yet unnamed model will feature a 10.2″ display, 1GB RAM, a choice between 80GB or 120GB for its hard drive and Windows XP as the operating system of choice. Both models will be powered by Intel’s Atom processor, with the Samsung netbook hitting Europe later this October.
