An email sent by Samsung to its trading partners appears to close down any prospect of the manufacturer producing new netbooks after the primary quarter of 2012. The e-mail is quoted by French site Blogeee and says that Samsung will switch its focus to 11.6- and 12-inch ultraportables in addition to Intel Ultrabooks . The quote doesn’t preclude a number of those ultraportables running cheaper processors including Cedar Trail , which might arguably just cause them to slightly larger next-gen netbooks, nonetheless it does specifically mention the abandonment of the ten.1-inch form factor. Here’s our translation:
“Following the introduction of our new strategy in 2012, we’ll discontinue our 10.1-inch (netbook) product range in Q1 2012, in favor of ultraportables (11.6 and 12 inches) and ultrabooks to be launched in 2012.”
