Samsung Series 9 Ultra-portable Laptops Receive New Chipsets And Prices
We all heard about Apple and their famous line of PCs, called Macs. As you probably know Apple’s main rival on the smartphones market is Samsung, the company that is constantly trying (without success so far) to gun down Apple as the world’s biggest devices manufacturer.
And guess what? Samsung even have a rival for Apples MacBook Air line of laptopts.
If you are impressed by MacBook Air, but you are the Windows kind of guy, then you should wait unitl Asus UX21 hits the market. Another option is the Series line-up coming form Samsung, laptops that are already available on the market. Unfortunately Samsung 9 Series notebooks are not available on all markets. Anyway, Samsung announced that the ultra-portable and ultra-slim notebooks will now receive new Intel Sandy Bridge processors, and their price will be more competitive.
We are talking about the 11.6-inch model shipped out with the Intel Core i3-2357M processor, 4GB DDR3 and SSD of 128GB. It will debut on the market in August at a price of $1,250. At the moment, Apple is selling it 11.6-inch MacBook Air at a price of $1,400. Some sources familiar with Apple’s marketing strategies claim that the new MacBook Air running on Sandy Bridge and Thunderbolt might be launched even sooner than the new models of Samsung Series 9.
As about the Samsung Series 9 model featuring 13-inch display, it will receive a new Core i7-2627M chipset, 6GB of DDR3 and a 256GB SSD. The price tag of this very attractive configuration will be of $2,050. The ones wanting a Core i5-2467M and only 4GB DDR3 could pay only $1.650 for the device.
Apple’s offer for MacBook Air with 13-inch display includes a 1.86GB Core 2 Duo chipset, 2GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, with a price tag of $1.600 hanged on it.
Summing up, we are pleased to see that the performances of the ultra-portable notebooks are going up while the prices are going down. Hurray!
