Freedom with Portability

NC 215S can immediately start under any mobile conditions, so it’s perfect for all your on-the-go computing. Samsung increased the portability and convenience by choosing a slim bezel(just 17.55mm) to give you a sophisticated design and a very wide screen. Weight is always important considering you’re going to be carrying this one around, so light-weight materials were used( the netbook is only about 1.32kg-just under 3 pounds).   Finally, in case you’re a little rough on your gadgets, don’t worry. The  product is protected from everyday scraches by the application of Samsung’s Duracase.

Fast Start technology allows you to avioid time-consuming start up and shutdown. With the   application of Fast Start technology, as soon as you close the cover, Sleep Mode kicks in and the device only requires 3 seconds to save your current status. It also only takes 3 seconds to start back up again, so it’s ultra-convenient for the busy businessperson or student.

Even when the product is turned off or in Sleep Mode, devices such as your smartphone or MP3 player can be recharged with the Sleep & Charge USB technology, which utilizes the strength of solar light recharging.

Finally, to enhance your accuracy and ease of typing, the Pebble keyboard(also known as the flat-key keyboard),wasapplied to the NC215S. This keyboard, familiar to users of other high-end technology brands, widens the spaces between the keysthus reducing errors.
