I feel that it’s safe to say that we get way too caught up in the excitement of next generation technology. We tend to see that it is the new model and immediately go crazy for it. Normally this isn’t that big of a deal, but what happens when you have new tech that performs a lot like the last generation model you have at your house? This type of issue doesn’t normally arise for big name tech companies, as they are usually on top of their game. As fate would have it however, our friends over at Apple may need to check on theirRead More →

Trying to keep up in the laptop world today is next to impossible it seems. We are constantly bombarded with laptops from companies everywhere. It’s definitely not a bad thing to have the expanded choices, but it can be hard to tell them apart at times. When the market becomes so flooded with new laptops, some get swept under the rug and they all tend to start looking gray. There is nothing really that separates what they are from each other, other than the inner workings. While there is a bit of uniformity for most devices, Samsung has teamed up with Google now in theRead More →

Buying replacement tech is never easy. It is ridiculously easy to get sucked into all of the typical gimmicks that many of the top companies are throwing at us. A tablet! A slightly smaller tablet! Another, even smaller tablet! Now don’t take this as bashing on tablets, but more so just bringing to light the gimmicks. Sometimes dealing with the touchscreen on tablets can get annoying. You are essentially working on a larger version of your smartphone, except your tablet doesn’t come included on your phone plan. What ever happened to just have a nice laptop? Nothing to crazy. Just a good, all around andRead More →

Samsung recently released a new version of its high-end Series 9 Ultrabook, this time with a little higher price tag. However, Samsung still seems unready to go toe to toe with Apple’s fancy Retina display style. The Retina display was Apple’s newest draw to consumers when it added the technology to the most recent versions of the MacBook and iPad. Samsung’s new version of the Series 9 replaces the previous 1,600 x 1,200 resolution display with a 13″ 1080p panel instead. In addition to that, this laptop comes with double the amount of solid state storage than the previous model with 256GB. The specs ofRead More →

In addition to the recently announced lineup of Samsung Chromebooks, Google Advertising has found another new way to market these devices to consumers. According to recent reports, Google is now trying to sell Chromebooks to the notebook section of users, emphasizing enterprise use in its earlier incarnations. Google’s Chromebook, even with a company like Samsung behind it, is a hard thing to get consumers excited about. The device runs Google’s Chrome operating system as opposed to Windows or Mac OS X, operating systems that most people are very comfortable using. The Chromebook also emphasizes cloud services instead of running applications from and saving things to the computer’s hardRead More →

Samsung recently debuted its 2012 version of its Series 9 laptop, which is well-regarded among laptop enthusiasts and critics. What is probably the most impressive feature of this new Series 9 are the numbers, specifically in terms of size. The new device comes with a 15″ screen, measures 15mm thick and only weighs 3.7lbs. What makes those numbers impressive is the weight. Not only does this number make the Series 9 the lightest laptop in its size class but it is also lighter than almost every 14″ laptop and even lighter than some 13.3″ models as well. If the Ultrabook market had a 15″ category, the SamsungRead More →

Even though most people are saying that the Ultrabook market is dead (man, that was fast) that hasn’t stopped Sony from working hard on producing a slim, ultraportable laptop that is rumored to run Google’s Chrome operating system. That is, if recent documents filed with the FCC are to be believed. That would mark Sony’s first Chromebook, the device that Google unsuccessfully tried to launch not too long ago. Google struck a deal with both Acer and Samsung almost a year ago to sell Chromebooks, which the company described as instant-on “browser-in-a-box” devices, similar to netbooks. The difference in Chromebooks was that they were more affordableRead More →

The time has come! Samsung has officially announced its very first device in the Ultrabook category! That’s right, while there are already a bunch of other companies out there that have launched devices set to knock Apple’s MacBook Air off its pedestal, Samsung has been behind. But no more, as the company is ready to throw its hat into the ring. The 13.3″ Series 5 ultrabook measures in at only 14.9mm thin and weighs a mere 3.08 lbs.
