Samsung Series 9 Notebooks

CES 2012, Computers, ,

If you are in the market for a new notebook computer then you may want to check out the latest offerings from Samsung with their Series 9 version, which was announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas just recently. Samsung calls it the world’s thinnest laptop, which is saying something given the MacBook Air and all of the new UltraBooks that were unveiled at CES.

The new Samsung Series 9 will come in both 13 inch and 15 inch versions. The new laptops are extremely thin and light and sport all-aluminum bodies. In addition, the Series 9 has a back-lit keyboard, a 128 GB or 256 GB SSD, an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, and a high-resolution 1600 x 900 screen. The Samsung Series 9 notebooks should be available sometime this spring for an as-yet-undisclosed price. You can get a look at the 15″ version in the video posted below.

Super AMOLED Screens From Samsung

Super AMOLED

The screens inside phones like the Samsung Galaxy S, are called “Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED)”. These flat screens give you a high quality in such a small device. The screen is so thin, it can be bent – if needed.

At CES we saw the Super AMOLED screens outside the devices. You can touch, flick and especially bend them. When they are in your smartphone, the brighter picture will bring a 20% longer battery life.

Samsung Brings WiFi Built-in to Cameras with SH100

Cameras, CES 2011,
Samsung SH100
Samsung SH100

Ever since digital cameras came along, I wondered when they would get a direct connection to the computer so you can click and send without having to clean out a card. Technology took us to cards that had WiFi on them, but now Samsung has a camera that had built-in WiFi that does even more than I expected.

The SH100 is the newest camera in the Samsung line. It has a 14.2 MegaPixel sensor with 5x zoom, but more important – Once you take a picture, you can send it to your favorite place. A hard drive, Facebook, Twitter, iPad or where ever.

What I really was surprised about was the fact you could use your Smartphone as a proxy viewfinder. If you need to hold the camera up in the air, the camera will send the video to your Smartphone so you can see what you are taking.

The SH100 will be available for $199.99 in March.
