SAMSUNG TO LAUNCH 11.6 INCH 9 SERIES NOTEBOOK

Samsung introduced several interesting tablets and laptops at CES in January. Of these, the Samsung Sliding Series tablets and the 9 series notebooks grabbed a lot of headlines, thanks to their unique form factor.

The new Samsung 9 series notebooks weigh 2.9 pounds and measure less than 0.7 inches in thickness. The models that were on display at CES had a 13.3 inch display and a starting price of $1599. Now it looks like there will be an 11.6 inch model as well.

Provantage has started showing listings for an unannounced model with an 11.6 inch display. This machine has a starting price of $1165. According to the product page the laptop will have a 1.33GHz Intel Core i3-380UM processor, 2GB of memory and a 64GB SSD. The 11.6 inch display has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Other specifications include 1 USB 2.0 port, 1 USB 3.0 port, an HDMI output port, a micro SD card slot, WiFi 802.11n, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth 3.0 and headphone and mic jacks. The laptop runs Windows 7 Home Premium and comes standard with a 5680mAh battery.

Bear in the mind that the product page at Provantage is a placeholder, because the accompanying image doesn't seem to be of the 9 series laptop.
