Samsung showcases new Series 9 ultra-slim laptops at 2012 Consumer Electronic Show – Part 2
Tuesday, January 10th, 2012 4:52:01 by Usman KhalidThe processor included inside the hood is although not one of the ultrabook chipsets by Intel but the Core i-series by the same company. However, the i-series brain now works marvellously with the support of enhanced RAM. All these things have been nestled into a Macbook Air-like uni-body that gives a very solid feel to the device. However, the shape is a little cramped up as compared to its predecessor from last year.
The new notebook comes in two models; 13-inch and 15-inch. Samsung claimed that they have put the 15-inch gadgetry into the 14-inch chassis that has been used for other slim laptops previously.
Both 13-inch and 15-inch models come in a mesmerizing 1600×900-pixel resolution. Although the larger of these two has the same resolution, the difference is negligible at best. The keyboard of this new device is top-of-the-line and does not give cramps to big-digit hands.
The original Series 9 laptop came in 13-inch and 11-inch versions. The new edition undoubtedly gives the users an even wider range to choose from.
Samsung claimed that the new device is 37 percent thinner and 0.4 pounds lighter than the 2011 model. The dimensions of this new device might become the major selling points.
However, the price still remains the issue. The company has lowered down the prices of these premium models; the 13-inch NP900X3B-A01US will be offered at $1,399, while the 15-inch NP900X4B-A02US will be sold at $1,499. However, the price still remains high for a non-Apple product as new ultrabooks in the market now range from a diminutive amount of $799 to $1299. Therefore, Samsung will have a tough time defending its products against the likes of Acer and Asus this year.
Moreover, the company also said that the laptops will embrace Windows 8 once it’s officially released. They further claimed that the multi-gesture functionality on the track pad will work efficiently with the Metro interface of the new edition of Windows that has been making news of late.
