Samsung Does the Deed, Joins Lenovo With Ion Powered Netbook

At the risk of losing "official" netbook status, Samsung is set to produce the world's next Ion-powered, HD-displaying netbook.

The Samsung N510 is going to sport other un-netbooklike features too, starting with an 11.6" display. It will also feature a modern Intel Atom N280 and a 160GB HDD to go along with the standard 1GB RAM and Bluetooth/integrated webcam.

Ion has long been frowned upon by Intel for use in netbooks because, with the ability to work in HD 1080p and handle some decent gaming, it is feared that it will blur the line between netbooks and notebooks.

As if that weren't already happening?

The N510 could be available as early as July. The first netbook to be born with Ion guts was the 12.1" Lenovo S12 approximately a month ago. It is likely that there will be more to come.

We talked a little bit about this line blurring business last week. What do you think? Do you like netbooks as dinky little 10" internet machines, or would you fork over an extra $50 for a slightly larger Ion powered unit?
