Weighing in at 2.89lbs, the Samsung 9 Series barely bested the Macbook Air 13.3 at 2.9lbs. And the specs are pretty impressive too.
Local reps of Samsung have actually told us about this upcoming unit back in December, claiming it will be thinner the the Mac Air so I’m not that very surprised to see this announcement.
Samsung 9 Series
13.3″ display at 1366×768
Intel Core i5 Processor 2537M @ 1.40 GHz (Turbo Boost up to 2.3 GHz)
Intel HD GT2 Integrated Graphics
4GB DDR3 RAM
128GB Solid State Drive (SSD)
Windows 7 Home Premium/Professional (64 bit)
WiFi 802.11b/g/n
WiMax
USB 3.0
Bluetooth 3.0
3 watt (1.5watt x 2) stereo speakers & 1.5watt sub-woofer
Lithium Polymer, up to 6.5 hours
The body is also made up aluminum too and comes with some curvy designs. Looks pretty interesting though I’m really hoping the 9 Series also comes in an 11.6″ display.
Coming out next month for a suggested retail price of $1,599, the Samsung 9 Series. At little steep but the high-end 13.3″ Macbook Air is also the at the same price.

@ GG (fish) n uberover – TENCHUUU!!! Thaaannkkkk yooouuu… These comments are MUCH appreciated.. a bit like constructive criticism. Atleast we share our thoughts in a manner that needs no eyesore while reading it. Mga edukadong tao naman kasi halos ng mga nagbabasa ng thread on tech sites. Wala lang breeding ang iba kaya parang aso lang na walang utak ang kausap nila… ok enough… again good day to all readers!!! ;p
@Marcus
Your non sequitur arguments are legendary.
Mga tarantado Kayo masyado Kayo mga laitero ah! What are you trying to proved matatalino Kayo? Judgemental kuno Kayo! Tamaan sana Kayo ng kidlat!!!
OT: Blame it on poor breeding, mahirap kalabanin talaga mga yan kaya huwag na patulan. Para din mga tarantadong drivers dyan na arrogante at walang pakialam sa safety ng ibang tao. Bato bato sa langit ang tatamaan siguradong magagalit…. abangan
Back to topic: Samsung 9 series…. can’t wait for you baby!

Samsung series 9 rocks! soon it will become one of my ultraportable collectibles hehe
Isn’t it that the MAC OS of a MacBook Air is installed in a USB Flash Drive and not in a CD/DVD.
And is it a fact that there are already programs that is distributed / sold online, disregarding any physical aspect. Examples are Stream games and Mac Apps. Oh yes, also Windows programs through torrent.
Just Saying.
“@ GG (fish) n uberover – TENCHUUU!!! Thaaannkkkk yooouuu… ”
bakla?
Aba may trolls na dito sa site ni Yuga.
Wag nyo patulan. Ma-high blood lang kayo.
Keep your cool guys. We are a free country so everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. Still, I like reading different or opposing ideas as this can only mean that we are all passionate about these new technologies. Same with Yuga here, em also hoping for an 11.6″ version of this super thin.
please guys, keep yourself calm and respect this blog. yuga made this blog with dedication and respect so please keep things clean here if you want to be respected, okay?
@marcus
i believe having an optical drive is more of a preference nowadays.
@Nem0ry
kapag “drives” (like usb drives, optical drives, hard drives), hardware…
kapag “drivers” software…
yeah, i know it’s a bit confusing when you first hear it but once you’ll get a grip on it, you’ll find yourself discovering and learning more things.
i-explore mo lang yung computer mo, marami kang matutunan…ganyan rin ako nung first time ko magkaroon ng pc, marami akong tanong
just have fun exploring your computer and you’ll learn things by yourself…goodluck!

i have a sony vaio f series laptop with intel core i7 & blueray disc player among its other strong features. it’s also a gaming pc. it’s quite heavy though and i do move around with it a lot.
this new samsung 9 series caught my eye.
i seldom use my laptop to see movies using dvds nowadays. i use the other digital formats available.and i realized i don’t play games also as much as i did years ago. so i think this samsung is suitable for me. i just hope it has better battery life coz my vaio has only 2 – 3 hours in it.
and this samsung is made from Duralumin not aluminum so it’s sturdy especially if you’re always on the go. Twice as durable as aluminum and it weighs just a little more than a kilo or under 3 lbs. as they say in their ad.
so i can say one buys according to his needs mostly, and at his affordable price of course.
@happykoko
But then again once in a while he hits the nail in the head.. maybe once in a thousand posts 
you should see manong’s posts
i’m not a techie person but i highly appreciate the topics and discussion on this blogsite. it’s a matter of preference; depending on the gizmo that suits your lifestyle. ignore those bullies!
@lolipown
yeah, manong is a one example of a troll. as his name suggests, he’s your typical “pakialamero” in your barangay.
lol! what drama! better than your usual crappynovelas. or wait… i think that’s the reason why we filipinos behave as such. we watch too much drama!
get a hold of yourselves.
im starting to be a sammie fan boy. just when i havent stopped dreaming of a new tab 2, they come out with this? im gonna be broke.

Go for any laptop brand except Samsung..
Sigh nakakalungkot sana wag to mangyari sa iba
