Samsung Readies Updated, Slimmer Series 9 Notebooks

[Cristian_25H]

Next month Samsung Electronics is planning to refresh its Series 9 line of ultra-thin notebooks and introduce new 13.3-inch and 15-inch models that are just 0.58-inch thick and offer a battery life of up to 10 hours. The incoming machines have an aluminum casing, a SuperBright Plus display, a Core i3 or i5 processor, up to 8 GB of RAM, a 128 GB or 256 GB solid state drive (for a boot time of just 9.8 seconds and a wake-from-sleep time of 1.4 seconds), a glass touchpad, and a backlit keyboard.

The 'new and improved' 13.3-inch Series 9 notebook will start at $1,399 while its 15-inch sibling will have a base price tag of $1,499.

This is the greatest looking laptop I've ever seen. To bad its one of the most expensive one's too though...

Being thin is nice and all but I'd rather have the thickness of a standard laptop and keep all my I/O ports. Once I start to need either a docking station or USB hub the novelty of having the thinnest laptop on the block is lost.
