Samsung announces Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor and Series 7 SC750 Monitor

Many of us do use computers in our line of work for many hours each day, and apart from having an efficient machine that does our digital bidding in the most practical manner, the monitor, too, plays a big role in ensuring that our eyes do not end up too tired along the way for us to do anything else. Samsung has a couple of new consumer monitors, namely the Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor as well as the Series 7 SC750 monitor, where the former would happen to be Samsung’s first consumer multi-touch display; while the latter boasts of an ergonomic rotating display.

The Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor comes with a special touch control that paves the way for 10 points of simultaneous input, making it ideal for dragging, rotating and selecting objects on the monitor, all the while offering a smooth and intuitive touchscreen interaction. This means you do not need to have any additional controllers, and I can testify to the fact that once you have gotten used to a touchscreen monitor in a Windows 8 environment, you would find it strange when you use a computer terminal without a touchscreen as you would inadvertently touch the monitor and wonder why it does not work. Just remember to lay off the pizza and other kinds of oily food along the way if you want to continue working from the existing terminal with the Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor in tow.

The SC770 also delivers an enriched computing experience, as it can hook up to a mobile device via USB, while Samsung’s Sliding-Tilt function with hinge technology would enable the SC770 to smoothly and conveniently adjust to a 55-degree tilt. This is a 24” Full HD display that sports a narrow bezel with ultra slim depth, accompanied by a clean back and a premium metallic stand, and will retail for $599.99 a pop.

As for the Series 7 SC750 monitor, this puppy will arrive in a slim, ergonomic design which is capable of a 90-degree pivot, while the rotating screen has been optimized for surfing the web, consuming social media content and viewing documents – regardless of whether you choose to do so in landscape or portrait modes. You can pick up the Series 7 SC750 in 24” and 27” models for $249 and $379, respectively.

Samsung’s Series 7 Ultra: Your MacBook Air Might Get Jealous

Sure, Samsung’s laptops of late have borne more than a passing resemblance to Apple’s MacBook line. The skinny, shiny Series 7 Ultra is no exception. But so what? In the Age of Windows 8, that just means you get basically the same pretty package with the added bonus of a touchscreen and some spec improvements. Not bad! More »

US Air Force uses Samsung Series 7 Slate in bases

Samsung Series 7 SlateWhen a heavyweight like the US Air Force picks up the Samsung Series 7 Slate in bulk for action across worldwide bases, you know for sure that this is serious business that we are talking about here.

Samsung Series 5 and Series 7 Slate PCs announced

When it comes to style, you know that Samsung is definitely at the forefront when it comes to consumer electronics. Well, their latest creation would come in the form of the Samsung Series 5 and Series 7 Slate PCs which were recently announced at the recently concluded IFA 2012 in Berlin, Germany. These two slate PCs are able to turn a standard looking clamshell PC into a slate device at the blink of an eye. Of course, Samsung is far more practical, relying more on the click of a button to get the job done. It will also be able to maximize both productivity and mobility, where it was specially designed for the Windows 8 platform courtesy of Samsung’s advanced engineering that incorporated a ten-point touchscreen display.

Both the Series 5 and Series 7 Slate PCs will feature a Samsung S Pen that has been conveniently embedded within a slot on the device. Sporting 1,024 levels of sensitivity, the S Pen was specially designed for natural and intuitive content creation. The S Pen will also boast of handwriting to text conversion capability, in addition to deliver various thickness whenever you draw or write, depending on the amount of pressure applied. Slate PC users are also able to make use of preloaded Samsung services including MediaHub, making it a snap to access entertainment as well as apps on your device.

Tipping the scales at under a couple of pounds, the new Samsung Slate PC was specially designed to go anywhere. The keyboard dock itself will hook up with a mechanical hinge, allowing you to up the device with one hand without worrying about it separating. You ought to know that the keyboard and display were designed as a singular device, while the components will fit seamlessly when connected.

The big question is, how much and when will these be released for? Both the Series 5 and Series 7 Slates will be available from October 26th onwards, wheer the Series 7 Slate will go for $1,199 a pop, while the Series 5 Slate with the keyboard dock will retail for $749 a pop – sans the keyboard dock, it costs $649.

Samsung announces Series 5 and Series 7 Windows 8 tablets with S Pen apps, optional keyboards

Samsung announces Series 5 and Series 7 Windows 8 tablets with S Pen apps, optional keyboards

Samsung already showed off its Series 5 Hybrid back at Computex, but what we didn’t know was that Sammy had yet another tablet / laptop mash-up in the works. The company just formally announced the Series 5 and it turns out it’s going to be joined by the next-gen Series 7 Slate as well. (Also known as the ATIV tabs in regions outside the US.) The two 11-inch tablets more or less look alike, except the Series 5 is powered by an Atom-based Clover Trail processor, while the Series 7 packs Core i5 guts. Both support pen input, and will come with the same S Pen apps found on the Galaxy Note 10.1. As for that optional keyboard dock, Samsung previously touted its magnetic hinge, but the dock has since been retooled with a sturdier latch-based mechanism. (Check out the video below to see it in action — the tablet really does seem incapable of falling out.)

As you can imagine, that difference in processor entails more than just different clock speeds. The two-watt Atom chip inside the Series 5 is rated for about nine hours of battery life, whereas the Core i5-powered Series 7 is expected to last between four and five hours on a charge. (The Series 5 is lighter, too, at 1.65 pounds, compared with 1.89 for the Series 7.) And, being a lower-powered device, the Series 5 has no vents. Last major difference: the Series 7 has a 1080p screen, while the Series 5’s resolution tops out at 1,366 x 768.

On the software side, Samsung is loading all of its Win 8 systems with its various Media Hubs — yes, just like the ones you’ll find on the company’s Android devices. You’ll also find AllShare, a DLNA media-sharing app; S-Launcher, a widget that replicates the missing Start Menu in Windows 8; and eSettings, a centralized options menu for folks who maybe haven’t learned where all the settings are in Win 8. As for those S Pen applications, you’ve got S Note, among other carry-overs from the Android side. As with the Note 10.1, the pen itself can recognize 1,024 degrees of pressure sensitivity.

Both tablets will arrive October 26th, the day Windows 8 starts shipping. The Series 7 will be available in one $1,119 configuration with 4GB of RAM, a 128GB SSD and the keyboard. The Series 5, meanwhile, will cost $649, and will include 2GB of RAM and a 64GB solid-state drive. If you like, you can purchase the keyboard for $100, or you can buy the two as a bundle for $749. We’ll be back with reviews in October but until then, check out our walk-through below. (Note: we didn’t get a chance to play with AllShare, the S Pen apps or the Hubs, but hopefully we can give you a more detailed demo of the software soon.)

Samsung refreshing Series 7 Gamer with 3D display, AMD GPU, yellow hue

If Samsung’s first dedicated gaming laptop wasn’t built to your liking, you’re about to get another option — the Series 7 Gamer is due for a refresh. The company’s Samsung Tomorrow blog pegs the new build as the Series 7 Gamer Yellow 3D, which outshines the subtle design we praised in our review of the last model with — you guessed it — a bright yellow finish. Style aside, the new oversized notebook will swap out its current GPU for an AMD Radeon HD 7870M and, as the name implies, a 14.3-inch SuperBright (400 nit) 3D LED display. The new configuration will also split its twin drive bays between a 1TB HDD and a fast-booting 128GB SSD. There’s no word yet on international availability, but folks in Sammy’s homeland can pick up the rig on August 14th for 2.99 million Won, which rings up to about $2,643 here in the states. Check out the official announcement at the (translated) source link below.

Samsung Series 7 Gamer review: the company’s first gaming laptop makes its way to the US

DNP  Samsung Series 7 Gamer laptop review

Sure, thin, light and power-efficient may be the latest trend in notebook design, but one category of portable computing isn’t afraid of going against the grain: the oversized gaming laptop. These big machines often flirt with double-digit weights, with screens in excess of 17 inches and the most powerful chipsets under the hood. Samsung’s Series 7 Gamer is no exception, of course, weighing in at 8.39 pounds and packing plenty of power. The machine’s recent US debut isn’t its first foray into the market, however — this machine first appeared in Europe late last year, albeit with an older processor and GPU. Now, Sammy has brought the rig stateside, adorning it with new parts for the New World, namely a 2.3GHz Core i7-3610QM CPU and NVIDIA’s GTX 675M graphics processor. How does Samsung’s first oversized gaming machine measure up? Let’s find out.

BMW’s 3 and 7 Series to be the first with Nuance’s Dragon Drive! Messaging aboard

http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/09/nuance-dragon-drive-messaging-on-bmw-7-3-series/

It somehow feels like it was only yesterday that Nuance unveiled its Dragon Drive! creation to the world, hoping to in the process make drivers’ lives easier by delivering a fresh eyes / hands-free messaging system inside connected cars. Unfortunately, back then the savvy company didn’t announce any partnerships with auto manufacturers — still, we had a feeling it wouldn’t be too long before one of them would want to come along for the voice dictation ride. The good news is, that’s about to change pretty soon. Per the outfit itself, BMW’s decided to bring the Dragon Drive! tech to its 2012 7 Series later this month, with the 3 Series Touring and the eco-friendly 3 Series ActiveHybrid expected to get it “later this year.” Notably, Dragon Drive! will offer multi-language support, including English, Spanish, Italian, French and German. There’s no word yet on just how much the fee for the service will be, but we do know those who land themselves one of these new Beemers will get a two-month trial to take Dragon Drive! for a quick spin.
