Samsung Prototypes AMOLED Notebook

Posted by AlexGUru

During my morning routine of scouring the net for “what’s new in Mobile tech,” I was forwarded this article from Hot Hardware by a colleague.

In fact Samsung claims their new line of AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic LED) panels boast 20X the contrast ratio of standard LCDs. In addition, since the panels do not require any back-lighting, they consume much less power, so they are well suited for portable applications obviously. Also, since they’re based on LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology, viewing angles, response times and brightness are also wonderfully impressive.

What I am intrigued most with, however, is the keyboard on this machine. It has a glossy, touch-key based keyboard. What does this mean? It means I don’t have to spend time blowing out my keyboard with compressed air. I can eat as many slices of pizza while working away as I want. You can just wipe it all away! Of course, as the article does mention, it would take some time to get used to typing on this kind of setup, but I would look forward to the learning curve.

Finally, there is a sexy PC coming onto the market. I hope that more and more companies take note of Samsung’s initiative to come up with a sleek and sexy design, as I am getting tired of seeing all the Macbooks at the local cafes.
