Hardware, Embedded Systems "Samsung knows a thing or two about designing notebooks. The Q35 Red that I recently reviewed created quite a stir every time I pulled it out of my bag at CES last month, and the ultra-slim Q30 won over many users who were looking for a machine that was ultra-thin and light. But now the Samsung design team has pushed the boat out and created the new Aura series of notebooks, which look set to go head to head with Apple's ultra-stylish MacBooks."

An overly small laptop with a microscopic screen with subpar specifications...and yet its fanboyish review by the said article writer brings up questions about the guys sanity.

For me, I have a Toshiba laptop, its built like a tank, and has a 15.4 inch screen - sure, its not pathetically small like the above, but atleast I won't need to hire out an electron microscope just to see the damns screen!


Your post is confusing the hell out of me. What do you want out of a notebook? They are for portability. I never understood those people that lug around 8-10 pound laptops so they can have a large screen that kills the battery in half the time. Just get a desktop, because that's the only thing you can really use something like that for anyway. If you have trouble reading a small screen then maybe the accessibility options of your OS suck.

I just ordered a new laptop with integrated graphics, a 14 inch screen, and a 9 cell battery, altogether weighing in under 5 pounds. It's perfect for what I want out of it...portability. I looked at larger screen options and more powerful graphics but the downsides are too great. I would be glued to an AC outlet or have a hernia within a couple of weeks. That would pretty much eliminate the benefits of having a laptop.
