Perhaps one of the biggest mistake that apple had in releasing macbook air is that they didn’t put the iCore family processors in it. And Laptop and netbook Manufacturers are abusing it now, A good example is Samsung 9 Series of laptop which boasts with great design and functionality. Here in the Philippines, Samsung had released several netbooks and laptops but the product had a small penetration to the market. They’re also known for their mobile handsets but not for personal computing. So consumers had second thoughts of buying one since there are other good options instead of theirs. This maybe a good chance for samsung to steal a portion of the Philippine market if there’s a chance that Samsung Series 9 laptops will be released in the local market. The performance is something to be noted of, relative to the specs the samsung series 9 laptops packs a punch.

Here’s a brief spec of what Samsung Series 9 brings.

1.4ghz i5 processor 3MB cache (2.3Ghz turbo boost)
128GB Solid State Drive
4GB DDR3 Memory
Intel HD GT2 Integrated Graphics
USB 3.0
802.11 b/g/n

This comes with a Windows Home 7 Premium and starts with a price of $1599 which costs more than the Macbook Air($1299). It can lasts for up to 6.5hrs of battery life compared to air’s 13. Specwise Air is ahead with it’s NVIDIA GeForce 320M GPU which is lacking on this laptop. So which do you think will you choose? Macbook Air? or the new Samsung Series 9?
