Most of us know we’re more familiar with Samsung phones than we are with their “other products”, but their new releases might just be the best introduction to the rest of the brand’s lineup.

“Lightweight and powerful, with a long-lasting battery, the Samsung Notebook 9 Pen with the built in S Pen and Notebook 9 (2018) are ideal for those that need get things done on the go”

Samsung Notebook 9 (2018)

Samsung updated their Notebook 9 series from Intel’s seventh-generation Core i7 processors to Intel’s eighth-generation Core i7 processors with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of PCle SSD storage. With three different versions offering a 13.3- to a 15-inch screen while also enhancing graphics capabilities, the Notebook 9 (2018) weighs up to 2.84lbs and measures 15.4mm. It also provides a more immersive experience by thinning the bezels to 6.2mm.

Aside from the refresh, the new Samsung Notebook 9 Pen has caught everyone’s eye — with good reason. The Samsung Notebook 9 is a 13.3-inch 2-in-1 notebook that includes an S Pen. The Samsung Notebook 9 Pen has the same eighth-generation processor upgrade and has 16GB of RAM with 512GB of SSD storage.

It has a full-metal chassis with premium magnesium aluminum alloy called Metal12 which provides durability while promising a weight of 2.2lbs. The 360-degree hinge offers flexibility for users to convert from laptop to tablet and vice versa with ease.

Samsung has squeezed in an HDMI port, a single USB-C port, and a regular USB port alongside microSD storage and a Windows Hello camera for face recognition sign-in.

Samsung has not announced the final cost of the Samsung Notebook 9 Pen and Notebook 9 (2018) but promises to have them available very soon.

The future of smart appliances is upon us.

LG has not only dared to venture into connected kitchen technology, they’ve taken it a step further with their newest smart appliances. We got to see all this at CES.

The InstaView ThinQ is the fridge of the future. It’s equipped with the smart voice assistant Alexa which means you will be able to talk to it — the better to figure out what you want to eat! Not only that, it will suggest recipes depending on what food items you have stored. The best part is that it can be connected to your phone and all your other smart appliances for a seamless everyday home experience.
