Earlier this month at the Mobile World Congress 2010, Samsung wowed the tech world by unveiling its Long Term Evolution (LTE) netbook PC. What places the N150 netbook at the forefront of technology is that it features a new Kalmia chip which has been designed in-house and has been described as the future of mobile technology.

Samsung demonstrated the technology to its full potential by live streaming on their own LTE network (on the N150 netbook) which is definitely causing much excitement in the industry as it provides what is widely becoming labeled as 4G connectivity for mobile devices.

From an everyday user perspective, the benefits of the new LTE technology include the delivery of high speed, low latency and consistent connectivity which is incredibly beneficial to those who need to access large amounts of data at any given time or location.

As far as the netbook itself goes, it provides the complete package with features including an anti-reflective LED display allowing users to experience fine-tuned and sharp images, and optimised processing performance in conjunction with Samsung’s enhanced battery life solution which in simple terms, means that the battery is maximised and lasts for approximately 8.5 hours.

Additional features include an integrated Digital LiveCam for video-conferencing and live messaging, a webcam, internal microphone and a headphone-out connection. Definitely a great package if you are looking for a netbook that offers maximum all-round usability. In typical Samsung style, the N150 netbook is slick, stylish, streamlined and with its 10.1 inch screen and weighing in at 1.24kg is compact and lightweight.

The need for data services is ever on the increase and people require access to information at any given time and place. Samsung’s demonstration of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) netbook certainly provides a full network and netbook solution and the LTE technology will also be incorporated into mobile devices in the near future.

The Samsung netbook N150 is currently available to buy with HSPA 3G communications and WiFi access and will become available with LTE ‘according to service schedule and market demand’.
