Laptop Spotlight: Samsung Series 9
Since the release of Apples ultra-slim netbooks, laptop manufactures have been working to re-engineer laptop designs. Ultrathin notebooks, 3D capability and state of the art performance are just a few things buyers today don’t just expect- but demand. Some manufacturers succeed in their endeavors and others just….don’t (to say the least). But every now and then we find a diamond in the rough; today it’s Samsung’s Series 9.
Crafted out of duralumin, a metal being used by Samsung that’s twice as strong as aluminum, the body of the Series 9 is nothing short of breathtaking. Its deep black casing and sharp angled edges give the device a very distinct look. Weighing less than three pounds and measuring just 0.64 inches thick, the Series 9 is lighter and thinner than the MacBook Air. The 13” screen along with Samsung’s Super Bright technology produces clarity that’s unmatched. With a matte screen, the built-in light sensors adjust the brightness of the screen with the brightness of the room. But don’t let its looks fool you. The Series 9 is full of power technology. Under the hood is a new Sandy Bridge Core i5 2537M, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. Complete with a three year warranty and price around $1300 the Series 9 is nothing to play with. With looks like these and top-notch technology, Samsung is setting the bar among laptop manufacturers.
