Destined for your small or medium business, the new Samsung P notebook series comes in different dimensions to fit your needs, equipped with the latest technologies.
For example Samsung P200 ultra-portable computer is the smallest in the P line at just 12.1 inches in diagonal, and comes with the SuperBright non-gloss wide display for clarity in bright conditions, Protect-o-Edge durable and resistant casing, and the Protect-o-SoftGrip rubberized lid for an extra protection layer.

Next it features a 6-cell battery for over 3 hours of operations, and the Silver Nano Technology which keeps bacteria away from your keyboard using a nano-sized silver ion powder on it.

Inside Samsung P200 we find the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, an ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 highest integrated graphics experience ever seen on an Intel platform supporting the Avivo display technology, Ethernet card, Bluetooth 2.0 module + EDR, Atheros Super G wireless, a 6-in1 card reader, the PCI Express slot, two USB ports, and a built-in 1.3MP digital motion camera for video conferences.

The Samsung P series includes also the 15.4-inch P500 notebook model and the 14.1-inch P400 laptop.

Sung-kyu Nam is a designer who likes to create products that inspire magic, showing that even the strangest design ideas could become reality, and one interesting project is the DesCom, coming from “desk” and “computer”.



This is exactly what the name suggests: a desk with integrated computer which matches home office environments, and is possible to be build in the future as it is not based on complicated technologies or something that does not exist at the moment.
Its designer intended to come out with a computer easy to install in the living room and to be connected to a home theater, while targeting the business-to-business market sector of Samsung.

The design is simple, stylish and I can imagine when taking the notebook out from the desk, a sliding glass-like plate closes the gap automatically.

Samsung has built the first 64GB Solid State Drives of 1.8 inches, featuring a fast Serial ATA II/native SATA interface.



The SATA II has a sequential write speed of 100MBps and a sequential read speed of 120MBps and intends to expand its marketing sector target from notebooks to high-performance storage applications.



According to the director Jim Elliott, “The 64GB SATA II SSD is based on Samsung’s cutting-edge NAND technology with dramatically improved performance specs that are taking system performance to a whole new level of efficiency.”

The SATA II Solid State Drive is combining a 50 nm-class single-level-cell (SLC) 8 GB flash chip with Samsung’s proprietary high-speed SATA controller and supporting software.
SATA II SSD has an interface speed of 3.0 Gbps, meaning twice as fast as SATA I, while it needs only half as much power as the 1.9 watts consumed by hard drives now used in notebooks, and just 1/10 from the power consumed by enterprise-class 15,000rpm hard drives in servers.

Samsung has released two new models from the Aura series, called R60-Aura T5250 Danica and Q70-Aura T7500 Daargon, both running on the Windows Vista Home Premium platform.



Both versions have a RAM memory of 2GB, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and 10/100 Ethernet communication technologies support, a Diamant-Schwarz
Protect-o-Edge housing and a SilverNano keyboard.
The difference starts with their names, meaning that the Danica model incorporates an Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 processor of 1.50 GHz, while the Daargon runs with the T7500 version of the Intel processor at 2.2 GHz.
Danica is a cheaper model that stores up to 160GB of HDD, a SATA type with 5400rpm, and the Daargon has more, 200GB of HDD SATA but with 4200rpm.




Even the display is bigger on Danica, measuring 15.4 inches, a WXGA LCD with SuperBright technology for the clearest view and a perfect color rendering, and a resolution of 1.280 x 800 pixels.
Daargon has the same screen resolution but its display measures less, 13.3 inches.
The graphic cards differ.
Danica comes with an ATI Radeon Express X1250 with 128 MB dedicated memory, while the Daargon notebook video card is an Nvidia GeForce 8400 G model but also with 128 MB of its own.
Both are equipped with DVD-Super-Multi Double Layer optical drivers.

Coming back to the communication sector, we have to mention that the Danica’s specifications don’t include the Bluetooth 2.0 support, as in Daargon’s.
Daargon notebook has a battery life of up to 6 hours, which means double compared with the Danica’s battery.



And now I have to tell you the prices.
As I said, Danica has not so many features as Daargon, and it costs €899, while the other model is offered at a price of €1.499.
You can find both model on the German Samsung website.

In December Samsung will release the X22, a stylish notebook specially designed for your business.



Showing an Ultra Sharp 14.1inch Widescreen display with a resolution of 1,280 x 800, and featuring the Intel Centrino Core 2 technology, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 graphics card with 128 MB dedicated, 1GB memory, and 160 GB Hitachi HDD for plenty of work space, all these running on a Windows XP Professional platform, ensures a maximum productivity on the move.



Besides the main features, it comes also with an Intel HD audio, a DVD-RW, Ethernet and Wireless LAN, Bluetooth 2.0, touchpad, an 1.3MP built-in webcam and a 4-cell Li-Ion AA-PB0NC4G battery of 2600mAh/cell, all weighting 2.18Kg.

You have the possibility to dock the notebook using an X-Dock station, like the X-Dock lll which includes ports like S-Video, DVI, FireWire, parallel and serial, and 4 USB sockets.

Samsung X22 will cost £837 with VAT included.
