This very thin notebook has an 11.6" LED display, weighs in at 2.2 pounds and is made of a material Samsung is calling duralumin. It feels like a cross between plastic and aluminum. This lightweight is definitely aimed at the new Macbook Air.
Samsung had no comments on specs other than they would vary greatly and be offered in numerous configurations. No time frame for availability was given but this prototype looked retail ready.
Looking at Samsung's offerings at CES you quickly realize they are a contender in nearly every category including phones, cameras, laptops, tablets and TVs. This company is gaining a reputation for cutting edge quality products.
I was caught photographing this notebook and had to delete the image so here's a pic of CNCB broadcasting live from the floor of the Central Hall of CES Friday, January 7th. Closing Bell.
Was it one of the new 9 series? i5 based, SSD-only, bluetooth 3.0, usb 3.0, mini-HDMI and being a Samsung product I bet they'll be offering 3G / 4G options as well. Super sweet.
ReplyDeleteI think they're using chiclet keyboards though. Not of fan. I'm also still suspicious of Li-Poly batteries but I think it's just superstition at this point.
