Small is beautiful, right? Well you may not necessarily say the Samsung SP-H03 pico projector is beautiful but it certainly is small and that inlcudes the $299 price tag.

* Screen Format 16 : 9
* NTSC and PAL/SECAM
* Power Consumption 12 W
* Brightness 30ANSI
* Contrast Ratio 1000 : 1
* Lamp Life Time >30000 h

There’s also a review of the SP-H03 over at Projector Central where it receives at least four out of five stars in all categories. They admit that the user would have to optimise light conditions when using the projector yet given size, weight and price the Samsung SP-H03 is ceratinly a very attractive pico projector option.
Availabe at Amazon for $299

The Samsung Reality will set you back $80 after a $50 credit rebate as long as you purchase an appropriate two year plan from Verizon. It seems these days that the line between smartphone and ordinary cellphone is blurring and the reality is that consumers are now getting better units for less of their hard-earned cash. The Samsung Reality is just another example of this phenomenon in action and if you’re after a neat slider social networking unit, then the Samsung Reality may just be the answer for you.

Samsung have installed the Intel ATOM N450 processor under the hood of their N315 range of laptops. These laptops which sport a MSRP tag of $430 also boast a pre-loaded version of the NY Times reader (subscription required), a 4.5 hour battery life and a ‘pebble-style’ keyboard. Whilst we’re not too sure about the keyboard, we like the sound of the price tag, so here’s the rest of the Samsung N315 specification
* Windows 7 Starter
* Intel ATOM Processor N450
* Memory 1 GB (DDR2 / 1 GB x 1)
* Display LCD 10.1″ WSVGA (1,024 x 600), LED Back Light
* Graphic Processor Intel GMA3150 (Int. Graphic)
* Multimedia Sound HD (High Definition) Audio
* Speaker 3 W Stereo Speaker (1.5 W x 2)
* Integrated Camera 1.3 MP Web Camera
* HDD 250 GB (5,400 rpm S - ATA)
* Communication Wired Ethernet LAN 10 / 100 LAN
* Wi-Fi LAN 802.11 b/g/n
* VGA port
* Headphone & Mic ports
* Internal Mic
* 3 x USB 2.0 ports
* Multi Card Slot 3 - in - 1 (SD, SDHC, MMC)
* RJ45 (LAN)
* Standard Battery 4 Cell
* Dimensions Dimension (W x D x H inches) 10.3″ x 7.3″ x 1.1″
* 2.71 lbs
Obvious missing components include an optical disk drive and bluetooth connectivity. Of course the absence of an ODD seems commonplace in light-weight laptops these days, but we’re not so sure why Bluetooth is not a feature. Anyway the Samsung N315 range of laptops is still marked at the competitive price of $430.

Samsung have a stylish laptop out there, namely the R780 which according to the marketing blurb allows you to
switch between work and play with ridiculous ease
which is an intriguing way of saying the R780 laptop is multi-functional. The unit does house 1GB of dedicated NVidia graphics memory whilst other operations are powered by an Intel i5 processor so the R780 certainly doesn’t lack all-round grunt. Here are the rest of the details on the Samsung R780
* Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
* Intel® Core™ i5 Processor 430 M (2.26 GHz, 3 MB)
* 4 GB (DDR3 / 2 GB x 2) memory
* 17.3″ LED HD+ LCD 1,600 x 900 res display
* nVIDIA GeForce GT 330 1GB
* High Definition Audio
* SRS 3D Sound Effect
* 4 W Stereo Speaker (2 W x 2)
* 1.3 MP Web Camera
* 500 GB HDD (5,400 rpm SATA)
* Optical Disk Drive
* Gigabit LAN
* 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi
* Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
* VGA, HDMI outputs
* Headphone and Mic ports
* Internal Mic
* PC CardBus Slot
* 4 x USB 2.0
* Multi Card Slot 3-in-1 (SD, SDHC, MMC)
* RJ45 (LAN)
* Standard 6 Cell Battery
* 16.2″ x 10.7″ x 1.25″ ~ 1.56″
* 6.26 lbs
That’s a pretty impressive set of specs and the Samsung R780 has a great price tag to match at $930. We also like the stylish red option for the R780, so for once you do actually have looks combined with performance. But wait, there’s an even better deal out there. Over at Best Buy you can pick up one of these suckers for only $800, unfortunately right now they’ve sold out but it’ll be worth checking back.
So yeah, we do like the Samsung R780 ‘HD Lifestyle’ laptop and we reckon it probably does what it says on the box and allow you to switch effortlessly between work and play. But of course with all that gaming processor power who wants to use it for work!
