Samsung Series 9

The recently launched Samsung Series 9 premium-class ultra-thin laptops are going to be available with the Intel Ivy Bridge processors, officially called 3rd Generation Intel Core.

The 13.3-inch NP900X3C and 15-inch NP900X4C are replacements for the 2nd Gen Core-based NP900X3B and NP900X4B respectively and the processor upgrade appears to be the only notable change on the new models. The latest-generation Intel Core i5-3317U ultra-low voltage chip is used in both known NP900X3C and NP900X4C configurations and that also means use of the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics instead of the 3000-series.

The Samsung NP700G7C-S01US, a Series 7 17.3-inch laptop with 3rd Generation Intel Core processors code-named Ivy Bridge, has appeared again online and is available for pre-order.

This time, Samsung has published the official product page and specs for the NP700G7C “Gaming PC”, packing the 3rd Gen Intel Core i7-3610QM quad-core processor at 2.3GHz. Continue reading →
