Samsung unveiled its NC10 netbook last year and the device received some good reviews. To follow-up the NC10 Samsung will be releasing an NC20 netbook that has a larger 12-inch screen. I still don’t get the 12-inch netbook, that screen is in the ultraportable category and for a little more money you can get much more performance.

A Ukrainian website called Gagadget has got its hands on an NC20 and put the machine through its paces. The screen is reportedly much like the screen on its NC10 brother and it runs on a 1.6GHz Via Nano U2250 CPU.

The operating system is XP and according to the review, the battery life isn’t that great. The six-cell battery lasted the reviewer about 251 minutes, a bit over 4 hours. Some netbooks can almost double that number for battery life.
