It might be time to leave your Intel-powered comfort zone

Newsvine.com has published a review of the VIA-based Samsung NC20 notebook and they lead their introduction by pointing out that the unit doesn't have Intel inside. I think most people are out of that brand loyalty trap now aren't they, when it comes to processors? The NC20 has certainly helped VIA get a lot of good press, with a lot of reviewers comparing performance with Atom notebooks. Newsvine.com is no exception:

"However, it did better at video playback than an Asus EeePC 1000HE, a good Atom-powered unit, indicating that the Nano has a bit more oomph. The NC20 can even play a modest 3-D game like "World of Warcraft" if you can put up with some sluggishness."
