LG unveils new XPION R20, S20 Core 2 Quad desktops
The details have emerged today on a couple new LG "high performance" desktops in Asia, so if you've been lying awake at night wondering when a new XPION would be hitting the scene, perhaps this evening you'll rest a little easier. The R20 is a slim form factor desktop PC featuring a 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Quad CPU, 3GB memory, a GeForce 9500GS GPU, and a cooling system "based on Multi Direction Platform Cooling, which also makes it run fairly quietly." Even less is known about the S20, aside from the fact that it's a standard-sized desktop, sports an Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66GHz CPU and a GeForce 9600GT GPU. That's all we have at the moment, little dude. So just try and relax -- you'll know more as soon as we do.[Via Hallyutech]
Samsung launches R70, R20, and Q45 laptops
We won't front, Samsung makes some sexy laptops. Their latest lined up for CeBIT include the R70, R20, and Q45: the Q45 is the smallest of the pack, with a 12.1-inch widescreen display, while the R20 features a 14.1-inch widescreen, and 15.4-inch R70. All run Vista on Core 2 Duo processors and feature "built-in USB slots" (thanks!!), while varying perks like the R20's silver-nano antibacterial coated keyboard, or the R70's HDMI port, or the Q45's WiBRO and HSDPA radios. Sop up that drool though, it's not like these things are ever heading to the US.
Samsung set to launch Aura R20 laptop
Samsung looks to have suddenly found itself in a branding mood, with the company set to introduce a whole new line of laptops under the "Aura" banner next week, beginning with the Aura R20 (pictured above). From the looks of it, the new line is definitely out to impress, with a slimline design and that glossy black finish people can't seem to get enough of these days. Matching R20's good looks are its specs, with a 14.1-inch widescreen display, a Core 2 Duo T7400 processor on the top end, up to 4GB of RAM, a max 160GB hard drive, and ATI's new Radeon Xpress 1250 Hyper Memory graphics chip, as well as a DVD burner, and the usual built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. Unfortunately, it looks like we'll have to wait 'till the official announcement for pricing and availability details, but you can check out a couple more shots of it after the break.[Via Laptoping]
