New Delhi: Samsung yesterday launched an array of notebooks in the Indian market. The showstopper amongst the lot is the Samsung’s 2nd generation 9 Series, touted as the world’s thinnest laptop at just about 13mm thick!
The company had launched the first generation of Series 9 notebooks about a year ago and Samsung claims the current Series 9 notebooks has “the world’s thinnest and most compact notebook chassis”. It has a 13-inch screen, and measures 12.9mm and weighs just 1.16kg, which is 28 percent smaller than its predecessor. Priced at Rs. 1,02,990, it comes with Intel Core i7 1.90GHz quad-core processor, 4GB RAM, 256GB solid state drive (SSD), and claims to give battery backup of up to 9 hours.
Samsung has opted for speed over storage, with a Solid State Drive of just 256 GB over your usual Hard Disk Drive of 500GB and above in other laptops. This sends a strong indication that Samsung’s efforts behind this device were channelized towards building a lean and mean machine. So at the mega 1 lakh price, the device might just be one of the smoothest around.
As a comparison, you can buy a 13-inch MacBook Air with a generation old Intel Core i5 1.8GHz dual-core processor, identical 4GB RAM and 256GB SSD for Rs. 99,900.
Apart from this high-end notebook, Samsung also showcased the Notebook Series 5 550P. This notebook comes with Intel’s 3rd generation quad-core processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2GB graphics card, JBL optimised speakers with subwoofer, Blu-ray drive and up to 2TB HDD. This 15-inch model weighs 2.5 kg and is priced at Rs.62,990.
The last product showcased was Samsung Notebook Series 3 350. This notebook sports the 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor and delivers up to 7 hours of battery life. For optimum mobility, it comes with an anti-reflective display and also has a lightweight and portable design.
Samsung Notebook Series 3 350 will be offered in titan silver, lagoon blue and candy pink colour options and will be priced at Rs.48,490.
