Samsung’s OLED Laptop Is Geek Porn

[SetoTK]

We’ve seen Sony shrink TVs to supermodel proportions with its cute Sony Drive XEL-1 OLED TV and, most recently, its almost invisible 0.3mm thin OLED telly, but now rival Samsung is injecting sex and skinniness into the laptop space.

This concept laptop sports a 12.1in AMOLED display with a 1280 x 768 resolution and a cool – although not sure how functional – touch-sensitive keyboard. As you can see it's very thin indeed and would probably make even the anorexic MacBook Air look fat.

There’s not a lot of detail as to what’s under the hood but you can probably bank on a solid state drive (SSD).

Although this is not in production, Samsung is planning to launch laptops using OLED displays up to 15.5in in size from next year. This one goes on show at the Society for Information Display (SID) Show next week in Los Angeles.

I don`t like the keyboard on the laptop picture on ENgadget.

I bet that keyboard is a complete pain to use, touch sensitive things usually are in my experiance

The keyboard looks kind of slippery, too. I bet people with greasy fingers will have a tough time typing on this KB. Plus, it looks like it needs to be cleaned a lot because most shiny things get dirty easily when touch.

what you'd use it?

damn i'd just want to look at and have a 'clean perspex box' for it to live, and a cotton swab on a stick to use the keys to have 'bad things in peoples happy place' play on constant loop

Good Point, I probably won't use it since it looks so nice. If I need a laptop, I probably just buy a cheap one just for using free Wi-Fi at places.
