Samsung’s newest laptop, the Q35, boasts a 12.1-inch widescreen display (1280 x 800), a 1.83-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 processor, 1.24GB of DDR2 memory, 80GB hard drive, and a DVD±R/RW drive. Weighing at 4.18 pounds, the laptop also supports an HD audio system enhanced with SRS 3D technolgy, 802.11a/b/g WLAN, and a 6-in-1 memory card reader. TrustedReviews has a comprehensive review of this laptop. Here is the verdict.
Samsung’s updated Q35 is just as impressive as the original. The new Core 2 Duo processor brings with it extra performance and features, while the red lid really does make it look that bit more special. If you prefer the understated silver, that option is still available as the first picture in this review shows. But best of all, Samsung isn’t expecting you to pay through the nose for its fully featured, thin and light notebook.

The slim Samsung SGH-Z560 features a 2.3-inch QVGA display, 2.0MP shooter, HSDPA support, dedicated music keys, Bluetooth connectivity, and media playback capabilities. RegHardware did a review on this phone and here’s the verdict:
The Samsung SGH-Z560 is a pioneer mobile phone, leading the way in the HSDPA handset market. The one thing about leading the way is that others – including web designers – have to catch up; the number of non-mobile-compliant sites make phone browsing a painful rather than rewarding experience. That said, having snappy internet access – albeit variable – is invaluable, as is being able to use the Z560 as a broadband modem on PCs. The Z560′s music and digital imaging functionality combine to make this a compelling mobile multimedia offering.
