Yesterday, electronics giant Samsung launched its latest range of netbooks, which promise 12 and 8.5 hours of battery life, which means that users can work on the N210 and N150 for the whole day, without having to recharge them.

The 10.1-inch N210, with a better life of 12 whopping hours, is powered by the Intel Atom N450 Processor, and has been equipped with an LED display which comes with a proprietary Enhanced Battery Life solution. The machine also boasts a strong, scratch-resistant casing, and a spill free keyboard.

"We're very pleased that we can bring this new netbook to Australians – it's the complete package for those that need to be able to work anywhere. The new model exemplifies our commitment to ensuring true mobile performance with the added benefit of beautiful design", said Emmanuele Silanesu, Product & Marketing Manager, Samsung Electronics Australia.

The N150, on the other hand, the company's second new offering, is also a 10.1-inch display machine, but with a WSVGA LED screen. It weighs a mere 1.24 kg, and also comes with a casing which is scratch-resistant. The battery life offered by this netbook is 8.5 hours.

The Samsung N120 and N150 have been priced at $599 and $499, respectively.
