With notebook prices falling to under $350 for some 17″ machines, a few netbook manufacturers may be in a bit of a crunch. Take, for example, Samsung's new Ion-based netbooks.
These netbooks are equipped with the Nvidia Ion chipset, which make them ideal for individuals who love to play 3D video games and watch high definition movies, but the overall price of the machines is also higher. There is no doubt though, that the Nvidia chipset gives Intel Atom-based netbooks a boost in performance.
The news that these new Samsung netbooks will cost $599 has quite a few people thinking twice about buying one. The price tag's a bit on the high end. Don't get me wrong though, these are indeed attractive netbooks. But are their price tags really that attractive, especially in this economy?
