Samsung 9 Series Notebook is Super Thin!

If ODD-less laptops proliferate or is the future of laptops… that means Apple has been a couple of step ahead with their Mac App Store.

Just imagine…

Mac App Store offering software for Windows!!!

Nice to see new models early in 2011, But affordability is still the factor. Maganda nga costly naman. hehehe Timeline X nalang bilhin ko with a little bit more of specs. manipis at magaan din..

@NemOry
Masarap mag-transfer ng files thru USB 3.0 kasi mataas yung transfer rates nya…up to 4.8 Gbps!

I guess the body is not aluminum. Samsung is claiming that it’s 2x tougher than aluminum.

wala yata actual pic c sir yuga nagyon ah?

Wow pre ang bobo naman, tanga tanga mo.. Hndi na essential ang DVD ngaun. makakabili ka ng external Optical Drives na pde mo iPlug sa netbook. Kung manonood ka lng ng movies sana kinuha mo na lang dvd player at un binili mo. hehehehe. palibasa bobo ka eh….

I rather go for Samsung 9 series that Mac Air :) kase hindi sya pansinin like sa Mac Air. I like it!

The thing is, even with an ultraportable you CAN include a DVD drive and still use full-power processors.

Case in point: the Toshiba Portege R705.

http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Portégé-R705-P41-TruBrite-13-3-Inch/dp/B0041O425K/ref=pd_ts_e_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics

It costs half as much as that Samsung, but it has a 2.53ghz Core i5 processor and a DVD drive, and it’s only 0.3 pound heavier.

Don’t bother with the R705. My sister owns it and the attested eight hours of battery life can only be attained when it’s idle for eight hours. Mild computing tasks performed on that laptop will bring it down to three to four hours.

If you want a REAL ultraportable, stick with ASUS’ U series and you won’t be dismayed.

FYI: Asus was once the manufacturer of Apple laptops, so never doubt the quality.

@Marcus – bobo mo talaga.

this isn’t a netbook….the Corei5, USB 3.0, 6.5 battery life etc. provides it with more muscle……unlike the pretty anorexic MacBook Air and the Dell Adamo XPS (with I both own because I like anorexics :)). As for the optical drive…..it’s not a deal-breaker anymore. Overall, I like this Sammie! Only thing that would make this better……make this sexy-looking.

uuuhhhhh duh… as if… Earth to Mars @Malingakala and Marcusopot, hello?!..you’re breaking up, hello?!!.. I am never rude to people posting negative comments (read: only now) How I’d wish people here weren’t that dumb. I know flashdisk and optical drives dear. I know you can back files and even boot BIOS with it. I know you can just copy everything from a dvd to the flash and keep that .exe file as installer for further use should you need to reformat or the file gets corrupted.

What I don’t know is why the fuck did you morons think I was stupid (like you 2) by not knowing all these things? Point is, yes you can buy an external optical drive for your cds but isn’t that a hassle that you have to bring it along just so it’ll come handy should you need to install, copy or watch something on DVD? Now tell me, is there a program out on the market that comes in a flashdisk (say Microsoft Office) aside from anti-virus programs (FYI Norton and Kaspersky already have netbook flashdisk installers limited to single-user) Wala pa di ba? So which seems practical, a notebook with DVD drive or a notebook that needs a separate optical drive? I hope I made my point clear.

Now if it still sounds vague to both of you, go get a bluray disk or a TB external disk and stick it to your ass to add more storage capacity for brain processing (I believe yours is not in the head but down low) Good day guys..

i agree that dvd isn’t much of a necessity in ultraportable laptops. optical media has a long history itself, the only purpose of optical media nowadays is for installing operating system, small backups and recovery discs. at first i thought that i need the dvd drive on my laptop but ever since digital downloads, usb drives and cloud existed, i think i don’t need my dvd drive on my laptop because it simply makes my laptop go at lower battery life.
optical drive is the slowest part of a computer that’s why many people does not prefer to put their files on it. aside from being slow, optical media are more susceptible to physical damage which may lead to data loss.

@Nem0ry
naka-depende rin sa usb drive yung transfer speeds. if you want to attain high speeds on a usb 3.0 port, make sure to use high quality drives. low quality usb drives usually suffer from lower transfer rates.

@Marcus

Your non sequitur arguments are legendary.

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! :(

ang weird talaga dito sa umpisa puro nice ang sinasabi tapos biglang putangina mo! hehe

watch your thoughts, they become words; watch your words, they become actions; watch your actions, they become habits; watch your habits, they become character; watch your character, it becomes destiny!!!!

Samsung series 9 rocks! soon it will become one of my ultraportable collectibles hehe

“@ GG (fish) n uberover – TENCHUUU!!! Thaaannkkkk yooouuu… ”

bakla?

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.

@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!

@happykoko
you should see manong’s posts :) But then again once in a while he hits the nail in the head.. maybe once in a thousand posts :)

@lolipown
yeah, manong is a one example of a troll. as his name suggests, he’s your typical “pakialamero” in your barangay.

super nice.. kaso so expensive.. haha

how much is this in philippine price?
