Samsung Chromebooks

Samsung introduced its next generation Chromebooks in this year's biggest technology show, which we really want to see in the Indian market. Dubbed as Chromebook Plus and Chromebook Pro, the hybrid machines have been built in conjunction with Google and will come with the Google Play Store (Beta) pre-installed. Both are powered by an Intel Core m3 processor and flauncts stunning, immersive Quad HD 2400×1600 resolution screens made of durable Gorilla Glass 3.

The new Chromebooks also packs a 360-degree rotating touchscreen which allows the users to transform the Chromebook to either a notebook or an ultra-mobile premium tablet on demand, making it a flexible device. The portable machines also come with an integrated full-size keyboard and trackpad, enabling users to write and play from anywhere.

 

LG Signature TV W

LG Signature TV W

LG introduced its latest OLED television that's nearly as thin as wallpaper (2.57 mm thick) and attaches to the wall via a magnetic bracket. LG is calling the design a ‘picture on wall' and says it creates a sense of immersion, as if it's one with the wall.

The television is simply the first-of-its kind and would sell like hot cakes in the Indian market, if only LG makes it available in India.
