CES 2010 has witnessed launch of some cool gadgets and some weird ones as well. Samsung’s Transparent Laptop falls in the latter category. Well, it’s basically a (prototype of) giant 14-inch see-through AMOLED display laptop, which makes Samsung XPERIA Pureness look totally worthless.
Transparency factor is about 40% (when it is off). Resolution is 960 X 540, but the colors look pleasantly vibrant because of the 10-bit display.
Our take here is that, What’s really the use of it? Surely, it seems like a concept laptop, but what’s the concept here? Right now, there seems to be no apparent utility / logic to this, perhaps things can be more clear when this thing is actually launched. If we go just by this prototype, won’t it give us a problem when used under bright sunlight?
Since users are always resistant to accept a new (or weird rather) technology like this, a wise idea for manufacturer always is to allow the users to switch the concept technology on / off. We advise the same for Samsung here.

What’s the use of this technology? How about in classes or for heads up displays in cars?!
Yeah the display can be used well in cars, but not in a notebook!
any idea what is the cost of this laptop?
