Samsung stops notebook supply to SA

The first thing I do when I start my notebook is to deactivate the touchpad - the number of times an unnoticed touch has caused me to make a mess taught me an expensive lesson!

Actually looks like samsung is pulling out of the laptop market globally. In 2015 they will only launch Chromebooks and no conventional laptops.

Sony is dumping their entire PC division (Vaio) as well.

The future is definitely touch devices for all applications and you add a keyboard and mouse (and big screen) at your work station. Next step only a phone with a docking station.

In my SO's office there was a massive debate between tablet and notebook users about what is the best (nothing new in that!). They settled the debate with a "competition" between the two groups. The notebook users were divided between the touchpad and mouse users. Each group had to do the same work on a number of linked spreadsheets, a report based on the sheets and e-mail them to the supervisors and the total time between the start and sending the mail with the attachments for each group was taken and averaged.

The results:
  1. Notebook with mouse: 5.4 minutes
  2. Notebook with touchpad: 6.9 minutes
  3. Tablet: 8.4 minutes
The calculations involved are not very complicated.
Since she uses a notebook with a mouse she has now asked if she can leave at 1 every day as she does the same amount of work in 3 hours less than her colleagues using tablets, alternatively an increase.

I suspect a bunfight...

Now give them a proper 19" keyboard and a pair of 24" monitors and they'll be closer to 4 minutes.
