    Samsungs Senior Sales & Marketing Manager Mobile Computing in Germany bet to a editor of a computer magazine that Samsung's Q25 1600 Byron would be still one of the top models in its category at the CeBit 06.

    As the title already says: The Samsung man lost! Therefore Samsung sells this notebook the whole March for 1000 EUR less (but only in Germany).

    To sum up: The Q25 costs now 1.999,00 EUR instead of the regular price of 2.999 EUR.

    Imho, it is still unreasonably overpriced for the quality and specs. With such a price policy Samsung will loose its business.

    I think Samsung still makes money even selling this notebook for 1000 EUR less.

    It's really a pity that Samsung notebooks are that expensive.
