We don’t see much of Samsung’s laptops around these parts, and it doesn’t look like the P200 is headed Stateside either, but it’s certainly a solid entry into the ultraportable market — which seems to be the new hotness these days. The laptop has been circulating in the UK since February, but is finally “official” here at CeBIT. The P200 runs on “Intel’s latest” chips, up to the Core 2 Duo 9500, and integrated graphics come courtesy of ATI’s Radeon Xpress 1250, with the laptop wringing 3.1 hours of life out of those chips with a 6-cell battery. The 12.1-inch 1280 x 800 screen is no-gloss, and includes a built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam. The laptop also packs Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Atheros Super G WiFi, 6-in-1 memory card reader, PCI Express card slot a whopping two USB ports. The whole kit weighs in at rather hefty-for-its-class 4.2 pounds, and is available in Europe today starting at € 999 ( $1,517 US).

While we found Samsung’s IT solutions emphasis here at CeBIT a bit of a yawn — when executive gets up and tells you that printers are his “personal passion,” you know you’re in for a wild ride — we are glad to see that the company is sticking some of its consumer design cues into its business products. Case in point, the T-series LCDs borrow from the “crystal” style elements of the Bordeaux series, but pack in some business-friendly specifications. The SyncMaster T260 is the flagship of the series, with 26-inches of real estate, 1920 x 1200 resolution, 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 5ms response time and a DTV tuner option, while the similar T240 hits at 24-inches and brings 0.3 Watts standby power. Inputs include DVI and HDMI and D-sub. More basic displays start at 19-inches, multiple color accent options are available, and everything will be available globally in March.

Perpetual HD media streaming and online deathmatches got your current router in a bind? D-Link’s looking to solve said quandary by introducing the Quadband DIR-855 Wireless N Router, which quite simply “supports true concurrent 802.11n transmission over both 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels at the same time.” Granted, you’ll need a wireless chipset capable of detecting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels or either the company’s own DWA-160 USB adapter to take advantage, but we suppose that’s the price you pay for being able to “segregate your network by application.” You’ll also find 5 gigabit Ethernet ports for those times when only wires will suffice, and the OLED display up top keeps things flashy, too. Expect this one to land in May for a stiff £169.99 ($337).
