Samsung launches laptops and netbooks
KOREAN OUTFIT Samsung has unveiled a series of "shark" NF and SF laptops and netbooks.
The Samsung team has been beavering away on shark-themed designs for its new laptops and ultra-portable netbooks. Both sets of machines have been given a fin effect design.
The Samsung SF Series comes in three flavours with the SF310, SF410, SF510 models on 13.3-inch, 14-inch and 15.6-inch chassis, respectively. All boast a glossy ivory front with a matte black finish on the inside. Samsung claims the new coat is scratch resistant and all models now sport chiclet keyboards.
Samsung has bundled hybrid graphics into all models so punters can switch between the Intel GPU and a Nvidia GPU. It claims the battery life is 7.5 hours and Samsung also reckons they can be juiced back up in two to three hours thanks to its Express Charging Mode.
The NF series also has three models with the NF310, NF210 and NF110 all designed as netbook versions of the SF range. These all use a dual-core Intel Atom N550 chip and DDR3 memory but Samsung didn't say how much is in each model.
The NF310 has a 1366x768 widescreen display with a 16:9 aspect ratio and Samsung said the NF210 can knock out 14 hours of battery life on a 6-cell battery.
"Inspired and elegantly crafted, this new lineup is truly representative of our efforts to come up with a new style in mobile computers," said Samsung's EVP Seongwoo Nam.
"I believe that Samsung's new mobile computer designs are fresh and will drive design trends across the computer industry and satisfy style-conscious users."
All models are expected in October but Samsung hasn't revealed prices yet. µ

If I get a new netbook, it's going to be based on a significant decrease in width and in weight.
Right now I'm at about 2 lbs and 1/2 inch. I'd like to see 1/4 inch and under a pound.
Then I'll buy (or rebuy in my case).
So far I like Samsung products.
I have had a 24" Samsung 1920 x 1200 monitor going on two years now, works great. They also make a nice compact low priced wireless Laser Printer (ML-2525W) I picked up to rid myself of a ink hungry Deskjet. Works great too and Samsung has Linux drivers for it at their website.
