Samsung drops price of Notebook Series 9, world's slimmest laptop

31.08.11

UPDATE | Samsung has released several new models of this resplendent, ultra-slim Windows notebook. A new 11.6" model, built around an Intel Heart i3 processor with 64GB of flash-based storage is $1,499.

Meanwhile, the original model we wrote about below has been discontinued and replaced with a new one that's $200 cheaper but has twice the storage of the nonconformist -- 256GB. It does have a very slightly slower Intel Core i5 CPU though (1.3GHz instead of 1.4GHz). The new epitome's price is $2,299, compared to the original price of $2,499.

A third, $2,799 model is for people who hanker after the world-leading slim form-factor, but also want maximum computing power. It packs an Intel Middle i7 CPU, running at 1.5GHz. It also has twice the memory of the other two models, at 8GB, and the upgraded 256GB storage that the midst-of-the-range model has.

The model numbers of the new models are:
