Samsung 12.1 Inch AMOLED Laptop Concept comes equipped with a keyboard that has a similar keys on a mobile phone. This thin laptop concept features a thin AMOLED display with 1,280 x 768 display resolution, it seems to be an ultra-thin laptop with touch keys-I just hope those keys have tactile feedback; can you imagine typing for hours on a touch keyboard without feeling anything? Tough. It even has a kickstand at the back. Since the laptop is uber-thin, I presume it's to prevent it toppling over due to the slightest winds.

Kizashi 3 looks great, especially the very Lexus-like treatment of the dual exhaust outlets. It's not very likely this particular feature will make production, so enjoy it while you can. The large 21-inch rims are also going to disappear by the time the new sedan hits the road, but they enhance the performance image Suzuki is striving for with Kizashi 3.

The engine is a 1.8-litre four cylinder, with twin overhead camshafts with variable timing and two turbochargers acting independently according to a series of valves in the intake system. The fuel is injected directly into the cylinders and the air enters the combustion chambers via either of the two different-sized turbochargers and an inlet-charge cooler. There is also a swirl plate to induce the fuel to spread evenly throughout the combustion charge.
