Samsung shows off flash laptop drive at CeBIT

That long-dreamed-of product, the solid-state laptop, is one step closer to reality, as Samsung is showing off a flash-powered laptop at CeBIT. The demo box uses a 32GB 1.8-inch solid-state drive created by Samsung, to show off the company's flash chops. Unfortunately, at $30 per gigabyte, the 32GB drive would cost over $900. However, with flash prices continuing to decline, and companies like Intel predicting that flash laptops are on their way, we may not have to wait too much longer for this to be feasible -- though, even at over $900, that flash laptop drive sounds mighty tempting.

Ya,
Samsung is crushing Apple, Dell and HP.

All USA PC manufacturers are customers,
Samsung designs, develops, and manufactures the flash memory chips.

It is only a matter of time before the weaker PC players are erased by Samsung - because Samsung makes LCD panels, memory chips, and flash chips.
Sourcing most of the parts to themselves - a Samsung laptop benefits from verticle integration, and can be sold for a lower cost, at higher margins.

Samsung - the next leader in notebook computing.
