An updated Pine Trail version of the popular Samsung Go netbook popped up on Samsung’s US website. The new version N315 looks identical to the original Samsung N310, which was designed by award-winning Japanese designmeister Naoto Fukasawa, a top designer good for 50 design awards. The large Samsung logo embossed across the back of the lid, the chiclet keyboard and rounded shape remain unchanged.

The latest news reader application from The New York Times, comes pre-installed on the new model. With one quick sync, you can get the newspaper delivered to your netbook to enjoy online or off. You’ll always have the past seven issues on hand, wherever you go.

The new Midnight Blue model comes with a 4-cell 4000mAh battery which should be good for 4.5 Hours of juice. There’s a 250GB HDD, but no Bluetooth. The original N310 shipped with a 6-cell battery, 160GB HDD and Bluetooth. The new N315 is available for pre-order from Amazon for $429.00, which is quite expensive.
