The World’s First 19” Laptop Is Here

Engadget.com says “12, 13, 14, 15, 17-inches, nothing’s good enough to satisfy you. Well, fine. We promised there would be a 19-inch laptop, and here you freaking go. In fact, the Samsung M70 is so damned huge they had to take that 1680 x 1050 19-inch LCD and make it fully detachable with a DVI port. But it’s not like you’re going to get one here any time soon because of that American non-compete with Dell, so not only do you have to save up for the machine, but also for the trip to Korea to fetch one. And for the inevitable visits to the chiropractor.”

Even though Samsung’s laptop won’t appear in the U.S. any time soon, this interests me because I read on MacOSRumors.com about Apple’s prototypes for an HD PowerBook.  It’s bound to happen but how will you carry it?  The 17” PowerBook weighs 6.4 pounds and when I’ve held it, reminds me of a coooking tray.  How will Apple make something bigger without making it weird?

At some point, they will lose the title/status of “portable.”

Interesting.

Thanks Arden!

3.

For Apple, HD is no less than 23 inches.  No way are we getting a 23” laptop.

4.

That’s no laptop, that’s a space station.  But seriously folks, that really isn’t a laptop.  It’s a really thin computer with integrated keyboard.  Monitor included.

5.

Well, yeah, this was back in 2005, we are quite familiar with these monitors now. I don’t necessarily need “huge” monitors so I’ll just resume myself admiring them.
