There are some who may not consider the NC20 a netbook because it has a bigger 12" display, but Samsung still classifies it as such, hence it belongs to the Samsung N-Series together with the Samsung NC10 and the rest of the Samsung netbooks. Those who don’t think that the Samsung NC20 should be considered a netbook have only 2 points of contentions - the NC20’s 12" LCD Display and its VIA Nano Processor. Aside from these two major features, the rest of the Samsung NC20 has your typical 10" netbook specs.

Weighing only a mere 1.26 kg, everything about the Samsung N110 speaks of high mobility and productivity. The Samsung N100, just like the NC10, was also a runaway hit when it came out.
