Samsung upgrade NB30 by adding Pro suffix

Obviously, throwing in an additional suffix does not automatically mean that the upgrade to a particular device will turn it into its flagship model all of a sudden. Case in point, the Samsung NB30 Pro which is a rugged netbook that will cater to business professionals, which is why it still maintains its free-fall sensor which will ensure the hard drive spindle will park itself automatically during a drop, helping avoid damage when accidents occur. Not only that, a water-resistant keyboard is also incorporated into its specially designed durable case, although that doesn’t mean you can liberally spill glass after glass of water over it just to prove a point as it can withstand up to 50cc of spilled liquid only. The Samsung NB30 Pro will be out later this month (which is just a few more days left) via Samsung resellers for $519. Check out its list of updated features right after the jump. [Press Release]
