Last week, the Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) electronics expo showcased the best upcoming tech products from leading manufacturers around the world. The expo includes plenty of business-friendly products from the likes of Sony, Samsung, HP and others. Here are some of the highlights from the showroom floor.

IFA 2012 took place in Berlin, Germany. It opened its doors to the public on August 31 and ran to September 5. In all, 1439 exhibitors presented products at this year's event in a display area spanning 142,200 square metres. Microsoft, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic and Philips were amongst many of the brands showcasing their latest hardware, software and gadgets to members of the public.

The Spectre XT comes with Beats Audio, a high-definition display and video camera, and a TPM chip, which secures data on the solid state drive as well as in e-mail. HP has redesigned the touchpad, adding more real estate for Windows 8. [Credit: Getty Images]

IFA guests get some hands-on time with Samsung's flagship laptop; the ultra thin Notebook Series 9. Chief specifications include up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, two USB 3.0 ports, a Samsung-branded 128GB SSD and an Intel Core i7 Ivy Bridge CPU. [Credit: Getty Images]

It also runs on the latest version of the Android OS: 4.1 AKA 'Jelly Bean'. [Credit: Getty Images]
