Why not U.S.? Samsung Sens Q30
January 7, 2005; 9:38 a.m.
![]() The product: No one at Samsung's booth was willing to answer questions about it (the company has not announced plans to release its laptops in the United States), but we were happy just to stand near the Sens Q30. Looking like a slimmer and more attractive relative of the Sony VAIO T series, the Sens Q30 features a 12.1-inch wide-screen display, integrated Wi-Fi, Ethernet, FireWire, a CD-RW/DVD combo drive, and a memory-card reader. While we couldn't find the courage (or a discreet place) to take the thing apart to see what it's made of, Samsung's Portuguese-language site has a list of components, which include a 1.1GHz Pentium M, 512MB of RAM, and a 40GB hard drive. The price: Unknown. The prospects: It's a shame that Samsung hasn't brought its laptop business to the United States, because the Sens Q30 could give the Sony VAIO X505 a run for its money as the prettiest laptop in the world.
