Samsung set to release Aura R410 14-inch laptop
Samsung hasn't exactly been flooding the market with its Aura laptops since it kicked off the line last year, but the few models it has released so far have certainly been decent enough, and its just-announced R410 model looks to be no exception. This one squeezes right into the middle of the pack with a 14.1-inch, 1,280 x 800 display, which gets backed up by "Intel's latest 45nm Penryn CPUs," ATI Radeon Xpress 1250M graphics, a DVD burner, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, and a welcome ExpressCard slot. All of that comes in an expectedly glossy package that weighs in at just over five pounds, and boasts a starting price of £499 (or about $1,000). Look for it to hit Europe in May, with no word of a release 'round these parts just yet.
Samsung's simple r410 QWERTY phone now available from MetroPCS
We've been monitoring MetroPCS' pages for a while now waiting for this thing to become available to purchase, and finally, here it is. The r410 candybar from Samsung features a VGA camera (MetroPCS calls it "high-resolution," pshaw), Bluetooth, and a slide-out QWERTY keypad for ridiculously easy messaging with a no-nonsense design. In fact, the fanciest thing about this phone seems to be the fact that it's available in both black and red. Grab it now for $199 before rebates.
