Singapore gets turbocharged Samsung Netbook

What do they get that the rest of us don’t

Samsung on the go

The Samsung GO Netbook or the N310 if you’re not in the US has got itself some juicy new specs for the Singapore version.

In the US version you would get the dated Atom N270 processer and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi. If you’re in Singapore however you get the higher model Atom N280 as well as Draft Wi-Fi.

Specifications differing in different countries is not uncommon. In Japan Acer netbooks come with in-built Bluetooth and the D250 sports the previously mentioned Atom N280 instead of the N270 found in the US.

Samsung’s only other Netbook model also runs on the Atom N280 although it is not yet clear whether it has the Draft Wi-Fi.
