Samsung Debuts the Second-Gen Series 9 Ultra-slim Notebooks
Today Samsung Electronics has held a media event in its home country (South Korea) to launch the updated (second generation) Series 9 ultra-thin laptops. Coming in 13.3-inch and 15-inch flavors, these notebooks feature a single-piece aluminum body (just 12.9 mm thick), a SuperBright (400 nits, 1600 x 900) LED-backlit display, a backlit keyboard, and are powered by an Intel Sandy Bridge processor.
Samsung didn't go into details about the 15-inch Series 9 model (it did mention that it weights 1.59 kg / 3.5 lbs) but it did provide a full scoop on the 13.3-inch NT900X3B-A74 notebook (priced at about $2,376 locally), saying that it packs a 1.7 GHz Core i7-2637M processor, Intel HD 3000 graphics, 4 GB of RAM, a 256 GB solid state drive, dual 1.5 W speakers, a 4-in-1 card reader, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, one USB 3.0 ports, a mini HDMI output, and a 6-cell (40 Wh) battery.
The 13.3-inch and 15-inch Series 9 laptops are expected to go global later this month, starting at $1,399 and $1,499, respectively.

You bought an overpriced Macbook Air from Apple, but since you did buy it you imply that you can "see these selling", yet when it's not Apple it's suddenly "can't see these selling"?
J/K
Wow these things are way overpriced.:banghead:
For that price... gosh... Eurocom where are you(also an insane choice)? At least in from of them I wont be afraid to sneeze at, in order to don't get a crack somewhere.
13' and an high resolution windows device and a huge i7... on 13 inches?? Nah... I'll get a proper workstation and a iOS or Android pad... Transformer prime for example... it will do the same productivity and last longer. Every thing in life has its proper usage - a key or an instrument... this one seems to be fit only as fashion emblem...
Anyway, I tracked down some product shots, not distracted by the girls. ;) I think this is one of the nicest if not the nicest laptop I've seen. A combination of the best of SONY and of Apple. SAMSUNG are really stepping up to be a premium brand. A bit like Audi (cars) in the 90's.

While I travel now and then, it's rarely for business and or on an airplane. They would probably appeal to me if I did.
I have an 11.6" Macbook air with an i7 2667m, 4GB of 1333 ram and a 256GB SSD that came in at $42 less than the samsung ;)
