We know that Samsung is the old player in the laptop market. So, we can expect high quality laptops from this company. We have a comprehensive review of the Samsung Q310 13.3-inch ultraportable laptop that comes jam packed with 2.26-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 CPU with 3GB RAM, 320GB SATA HDD, and Intel GMX4500 Video card. Here is the verdict.
The Samsung Q310-34P is one of the better designed 13-inch notebooks we’ve tested, and it offers good performance. However, the business-oriented $949 Lenovo ThinkPad SL300 offers nearly double the endurance of the Q310-34P (without charging an arm and a leg for an extra capacity battery) and the $200 less expensive HP Pavilion dv3510nr features an extra gig of RAM, discrete Nvidia graphics, and a backlit keyboard (although it lasts an hour less on a charge). If good looks and an excellent Vista experience is what you want, the Q310-34P is a tempting option, but other 13-inch notebooks offer better bang for your buck.

Samsung 12.1 Inch AMOLED Laptop Concept comes equipped with a keyboard that has a similar keys on a mobile phone. This thin laptop concept features a thin AMOLED display with 1,280 x 768 display resolution. However, AMOLED displays are still expensive. I’m sure this desktop replacement will be expensive.
