Samsung stellt DVD Player/Brenner für Tablets vor – ist dünnster weltweit!

In einer Pressemitteilung hat Samsung heute einen DVD Player/Brenner vorgestellt, der besonders für Tablets und Ultrabooks geeignet sein soll. Der Samsung SE-218BB soll mit 14 Millimetern der weltweit dünnste, externe DVD Brenner sein. Über ein USB Kabel kann man den DVD Brenner an Tablets und Ultrabooks anschließen – dazu braucht man natürlich einen USB Port und mindestens Android 3.1 Honeycomb, Windows oder Mac OS. Der Samsung SE-218BB DVD Brenner soll ab heute an Online Händler geschickt werden, weltweit erhältlich sein und 59,99 US Dollar kosten.

Ich könnte mit einem DVD Player/Brenner für ein Tablet nichts anfangen, einen solchen nutze ich nicht einmal in meinem Notebook (hat eh keinen) und auch nicht im PC oder am Fernseher – da würde bei mir auch der Fernseher für fehlen. Aber wenn jemand eine große DVD Sammlung hat, kann der dünne DVD Brenner von Samsung sicherlich nützlich sein und zu teuer ist der auch nicht.

Würdet ihr mit eurem Tablet DVDs gucken?
