Samsung has unveiled its next netbook offering, the N310, and has stepped away from the mould of the average netbook with a fresh new takes on aesthetics.

The system, pictured by akihabaranews.com, is full of rounded edges and has a toy-like appearance that may help it stand out from the netbook crowd.

It's rumoured to be launching "soon" in international markets, and though its pebble-like shell is a little different, it's expected to offer the traditional 1GB of RAM, 10.1in display, a 160GB hard drive and up to 11 hours of battery life with a presumably-optional enhanced battery.

Samsung's first foray into the netbook market took the form of the Intel Atom-powered NC10, but the South Korean manufacturer surprised us all by announced that its NC20 successor would utilise VIA's Nano processor instead.

As for the N310, Samsung is yet to confirm its processor of choice, but the above image appears to show what looks a lot like an Intel Atom logo below the keyboard of the open system. Perhaps Samsung's come back to Intel's Atom for some of that upcoming 2GHz goodness?

I like very much :D
Both the netbook and the young lady are rather attractive.
massive bezel and rounded edges just looks wasteful, nc10 is definitely my preferred style :) although fun is right
Not keen on another netbook with a super reflective screen.
I love my Samsung NC20. Everyone who has seen and used it has marvelled at it's awesomeness. Got the CPU running at 1.6ghz and it's ace. Office opens in under half a second. Google Earth and Street View are great even at max image quality. Guitar Pro 5.2 with RSE runs perfectly even with many tracks. No Vista, what a treat. Love the glossy display and have since I first used one.

Those certainly look cool too, they look like they could be more for the Asian market though?
