Samsung takes aim at the MacBook

Samsung_R20_Aura_02.jpg

Those black MacBooks are pretty sexy, but not everybody wants to spend that kind of money for an Apple computer. Generally speaking, PC laptops are cheaper but somehow less desirable than their Mac counterparts, what with PC laptops generally being bigger, boxier, and uglier. Samsung is looking to change that with their new Aura laptop.

This sleek black lappie features a 14.1-inch glossy LCD screen and a shiny outer case. On the inside, you get AMD ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 HyperMemory chipset that'll handle games on the go in a more than acceptable fashion. All the other guts you're free to fiddle with as you please, from the low-end Celeron M up to the Core 2 Duo processor with all the fixings. Will that be enough to convince people to get their fashionable computer with Windows inside rather than picking up another ubiquitous MacBook? Time will tell.
