Samsung last week launched the first notebook to feature a 19-inch display at a trade show in Berlin. Besides having the high-end specifications worthy of a true desktop replacement, it will possibly feature the industry's first detachable 19-inch LCD display which is capable of 1,680 x 1,050 native resolution. The LCD panel will also have a DVI port which will allow it to function as a desktop monitor. The rationale for a detachable display is driven by cost. Traditionally one of the most expensive components of a notebook, the M70 is upgradeable by simply switching the base component and reusing the display. The cost is further reduced since the display can double as a desktop monitor. Though large-screen notebooks tend to weigh the same as a bag full of bricks, the 4.4kg M70 is not much heavier than other 17-inch LCD desktop replacements like the Toshiba Qosmio G20 and the Fujitsu LifeBook N6210.
