Samsung NC20 or Samsung X360?

So a new rumor broke out today that Samsung will release NC20 in February 2009. Well, I’m skeptical to agree to this because of the picture claimed by the original source. Spot the difference in the above image. I’m sure you won’t be able to since the purported NC20 is in fact Samsung’s X360 notebook.

The rumored specs of the NC20 netbook are 12.1-inch display, 1.3GHz VIA Nano U2250 processor, 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 1.3 megapixel webcam and 3-in-1 card reader. The price is claimed to be around $642.

I’m not refuting to the source’s claim completely because there is a possibility that Samsung might be preparing another variant. But when we go by the above picture, it tells a different story.

If Samsung really wanted to create a new netbook, I think its design would be based on the lines of NC10. Don’t you think?
