This year’s Consumer Electronics Show saw a deluge of ultrabooks. Samsung was one of the vendors that unveiled their ultrabook contenders at the event. But not only did it unveil the Series 5 ultrabook back then, it also used the opportunity to announce the second generation Series 9 ultra-thin and light notebook. The latter is now available for pre-order online. Hit the jump for more.
The 13.3-inch variant of the second generation Series 9 has every right to be incensed at being denied the ultrabook tag, for it’s actually thinner and lighter than both the 13.3-inch and 14-inch Series 5 models currently on the market. Not that the 15-inch Series 9 is obscenely corpulent. The 13.3-incher is 12.7mm thick and weighs 2.43 lbs, where as its 15-inch counterpart is 16.25 mm at its thickest and weighs just 3.50 lbs.
Both the models are now available for pre-order on online retailer J&R. They have the following specs:
The 13-incher is listed for $1,399.99, whereas its elder brother carries a $1,499.99 price tag. However, the listings don't mention any shipping date.

I agree with dgrmouse. I like the 1600x900 resolution of the screen and the thin bezel bordering the screen, but this needs to cost 2/3rds of what Samsung is asking for at this point before I would consider it.

These are not going to be popular notebooks. They just simply aren't worth the money.

But this works for people on the go. Such as myself I travel alot and like light notebooks while have the productivity I need to work. Tablets, I feel dont offer me that yet.
I like the specs but its a bit of money.
