14 DAY TRIAL // Not all products that a IT company makes are meant to be bought by everyone, as there are certain devices whose specs and, most importantly, prices narrow down the amount of people that can afford them, as is the case with the new Series 9 notebook.
Samsung is one of those companies that deals in a wide variety of computing products, from small memory chips to complete systems.
This is what allowed it to become and stay one of the world's best known brands and to grow as a corporation.
Its most recent move is one that not many consumers will be enthused about, however, not because the new product is unappealing, but because that appeal comes at too high a price for most people.
The device in question goes by the name of the Series 9 laptop and has been set up as available for pre-order in the US.
It is designed specifically with utmost mobility and thinness in mind, and it is very light as well, even compared to other ultraportable laptops on the market.
At its heart lies an Intel Core i5-2573M dual-core central processing unit whose clock speed is of 1,4 GHz.
Said chip is backed up by 4 GB of RAM (random access memory), while the integrated Intel HD GT2 graphics handle the 13.3-inch LED-backlit LCD with a brightness of 400 nits (resolution still unclear).
Meanwhile, storage is provided by a solid state drive whose capacity is of 128 GB and which is much faster than any HDD.
Basically, all the PC parts are crammed inside a frame which measures 12.9 (W) x 8.9 (D) x 0.62 ~ 0.64 (H) inches.
The machine is available for the high price of $1,649 and it is unclear when shipments will start, but until they do, interested customers need only drop by this page.
