    Hey guys,

    I'm going to buy a Samsung N310 netbook today. I found a good deal on one, but the model is listed as NP-N310-KA04US, whereas it is usually listed as N310-13GB. The specs appear to be the same, but I'm leary.

    Does anybody know the difference?

    Thanks!

    Doug

    This page of the Samsung USA website lists -13GB, however if you go to the specifications page then you will see KA04US in the page title and the datasheet PDF.

    In fact, all is revealed in the pdf file: N310-13GB is the model name while NP-N310-KA04US is the part number. I think Samsung USA decided to introduce a model name which includes a letter for the colour.
