What do you do when you're a little late to the party, and still want to make sure you catch a bit of buzz? If
you're Samsung, you don't just announce that your Q35 is a Core Duo laptop; after all, other companies have been
announcing their Core Duo rigs for months. You declare it the "world's smallest" Core Duo box, and trumpet
the fact that it weighs about 4 pounds, has a 12-inch widescreen display, and still manages to pack in a T2700
processor, 512MB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive. There's also a DVD burner, WiFi, Bluetooth, Ethernet and Firewire. And,
of course, since Samsung laptops aren't sold in the US, we assume that within a few days we'll hear an announcement from
someone else for the "world's smallest Core Duo laptop that you can actually buy."

Is that an antenna sticking out or are you just happy to see me?
T2700. 2.33 Ghz Core Duo. Nice.
until the ibook next month that is
The antenna is for AM reception. Koreans really like the retro look.
Do U konw DMB? Digital Multiple Brodcast..
This antenna is for DMB and not AM OK?
DMB is available to be working in Korea anywhere.
I have this feeling though that the ibooks wont be running a core duo, only a core solo.
Won't be sold in the US? One word for that: Dynamism
I thought Dynamism only imported from Japan...
Since when did not selling in the US mean it's not being sold at all? I hate it when Americans act like this. Samsung is a South Korean company and there's no reason why they have to sell every product they make in the US. Get over it.
4 pounds? Ars reviewed the Thinkpad X60 today which is only 3...
I was under the impression that Samsung agreed not to sell their branded laptops here due to a non-compete deal with Dell (and maybe others). Samsung supplies a lot of parts for American-branded laptop manufacturers, and if memory serves the Dell X1 laptop is actually a re-branded Samsung.
(matt) ibooks will come in same specs as mac minis, so both options will be available solo and smaller duo. - i bet my hairy yellow ass on it.

Um, the Toshiba M400 (core duo) is nearly the same size and is a convertible.
They have a suppply agreement with Dell which precludes their selling anything in the US which competes against Dell.
The Sony SZ which is sold in the US is a core duo with a 13.3 inch screen and optical drive, that weighs either 4 or 3.7 pounds depending on the version.
I doubt an iBook would be smaller, the current 12 inch iBook weighs almost 5 pounds!!!
I tell ya Samsung has some of the best Booth Babes I have seen anyone have a site dedicated to samsung Booth babes or models.
Y does any post any where abt any computer eventually end up with people saying apple is better.. if they rocked so much.. they would have had bigger market share.
This Samsung baby will also play your DVDs without powering up Windows...which I'm loving.
Nice peppers!
I would think they could have gotten a hotter model to display the worlds smallest duo laptop
peppers? this is what we are buying ultra-small notebooks for? peppers!
That antenna from the laptop is for DMB.. I think.
So US version, if ever come out, won't have that antenna.
That antenna's for DMB, not AM reception
my friend buy today this notebook + 1GB RAM...i think good choise:)
