Like
Acer and fellow
"strong" Blu-ray supporter LG, Samsung is showing the hi-def crowd how to mix it up by opening their
Blu-ray love affair to the HD DVD camp. Here we have their M55 -- formerly billed as the "world's thinnest and lightest 17-inch widescreen" at 30.5 ~ 34.4-mm thick and 2.99-kg -- only now packing some swank HD DVD action along with an apparent pixel increase to 1920x1200. Just to run down the rest of the specs on this: you get a glossy 17-inch display, 256MB GeForce 7600 Go graphics, up to 120GB of SATA disk, 802.11a/b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, a wide range of in and outs including HDMI and S/PDIF, and suite of SRS audio features all powered by an Intel T2500 Core Duo proc. No drop date but they should pull about €3,000/$3,810 -- yeah, we know. And yes, gentle readers, there
is a woman in that photo, now please try to comment on the laptop, mkay? We don't want to get rough, see.

So, you put ~$4000 and get ... 20GB less optical storage than the VAIO ?
Nah!

That Samsung and her cheatin' heart.
Sony must have left the toilet seat up or left the cap off of the toothpaste to make Samsung take a long lustful gander at HD-DVD boys across the street.
Ever since she and Sony had that lovers' spat over the faulty chip in the BD-P1000, things just haven't been the same between them. I hear Sony and Pioneer have been seen out on the town togethor a lot lately.
Doesn't any relationship last anymore?

I wonder if this is just the start of more hardware companies, and studios deciding to support HD-DVD rather than just Blu-Ray.
