Quote:The Samsung Series 3 is the perfect 12.1″ laptop for those looking for a little more power than the traditional netbook. Carrying an Intel Core i5-2410M processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, and a 500GB hard drive, this machine is no lightweight.

Seems the release date is August and the specs look very good with i5 and i7 processors, 11, 12 and 15 inch non relective screens.
Early rumours of price suggests similar to the chromebook so this will be a no brainer for me 🙂Very similar specs to the Series 9 so I’m not sure what the marketing strategy is here.
Hope this helps
Jeepers mentioned the price because the person in the video offers a figure. She guesses, based on Samsung’s projected retail price of $799, that it will be closer to $699 for the street price. I favor the black and silver model in terms of specs, however, and prices weren’t given for those.
It will be interesting to see the sales prices on the entire Series series 6-8 months after launch. The MacBookAirs’ pricing looks cheaper than the 9 now, but Apple never allow their products to be marked down. Samsung does, and I’m hoping the Series 3 will eventually take the spot I’ve been reserving for an NF-310.
The Samsung Series 3 and new Series 9 are available for pre-order at J&R
NP350U2B-A01US Series 3 12.1″ pre-order price $749.99
SourcePCWorld have reviewed it here
6 hour battery life and a few negative points (display and touchpad rocker button) but performance found to be impressive 🙂Hope this helps
The NP350U2B is appearing now in several US stores/websites, wonder if it will come to the UK

http://www.minilaptops.org/samsung-series-3-np350u2b-a01us-laptop-price-features-and-specification.htmlHmmm, the 12.5″ model has only one slot for RAM I think, so comes with a 1x4GB module, the 15.6″ seems to have two slots but comes with one empty. Also the 12.5″ has no graphics card, only Intel GMAs and have i5 processors.
The 15.6″ has a large range of models, with i3, i5 or i7 processors, some have NVidia Graphics cards, others Intel GMAs. This seems to be the most powerful of them.

Can’t find anything about the 11.6″ one yet.
