A review of the Samsung N510 netbook has been posted over at NotebookCheck.net. 'The core piece of the Samsung N510 is the ION platform with Nvidia's Geforce 9400M graphic chip, which has a maximum of 128 MB shared memory in the model at hand. As there is no dedicated graphic memory, this is "borrowed" from the 1024 MB RAM, as in competitors. Additionally, the supplementary label "LE" indicates a special variation of the ION range, which, on the one hand, is reserved for OEM manufacturers only and on the other, merely provides DX-9 support. This restriction is necessary to still maintain the cheaper Windows XP version for netbooks from Microsoft. In regards to the basic efficiency, there shouldn't be any cutbacks in comparison to the "full" ION range. Samsung supports this graphic division with Intel's Atom N270 CPU and an own 160 GB hard disk.'
