Samsung’s NB30 touchscreen netbook is available now in some countries and has been reviewed by a few different places, the verdict: dim display but good touchscreen. The capacitive touchscreen works well and is responsive even with multitouch, but this brings up an important question, “Who would pay an extra $160 for a touchscreen display on a netbook without a swivel on the display for tablet mode?”
The Samsung NB30 is Samsung’s new ruggedized netbook featuring the new N450 processor. It has just shown up today on Amazon for $379. This netbook was shown off at CES and the cool part is that you can spill liquids on the keyboard with no ill effects. Besides being semi-waterproof it has a nice fingerprint resistant case and all around nice Samsung characteristics.
Here are the specs on this netbook:
Another interesting listing showed up today on a French site (pixmania), where it listed the NB30 with a touchscreen option. It’s listed as pre-order but it could also be mis-labeled so we’ll have to wait and see if this is a real option or not.
