Samsung announced its new and improved Series 9 Premium Ultrabook a few weeks ago which would introduce a 13.3-inch full HD display, Intel Core i7 processor and 256GB SSD to its line of ultra books. And today, the company is announcing it is now available for purchase.

The Samsung Series 9 Premium Ultrabook (NP900X3E-A02US) is quite the little powerhouse as we already mentioned it’s equipped with a full HD display at a resolution of 1920 x 1080, but it also comes with 4GB of RAM, Samsung’s SuperBright technology able to provide 300 nit of brightness, a 1.3MP HD Webcam, 802.11 a/b/g/n and comes in at the extremely-light weight of 2.56lbs. Best of all, the previously revealed price of $1,899.99 has been slashed down to $1,399.99, making this a much more affordable ultrabook.

Considering we were thoroughly impressed with the Samsung Series 9 (NP900) in our review, we certainly like the direction Samsung is taking its 13-inch ultrabook by including some serious hardware in it while keeping its weight relatively light. We can’t wait to get our hands on the new Premium Ultrabook and will hopefully have a review for you guys in the coming weeks.

Samsung has just launched their latest “toy” for big boys, the Series 9 Premium Ultrabook, and while it might not seem all that new to you, that is because this particular model comes with Full HD resolution capability, which is a surefire way of gaining the interest of anyone who is shopping for a spanking new Ultrabook now. The latest model in the Series 9 range, will of course, bask in the glory of an LED-backlit 1920×1080 full HD display, one that is touted to offer up to 40% additional screen content compared to the standard 1600×900 HD+ display.

Other than that, you will find its SuperBright technology to deliver up to 50% more brightness compared to regular laptop displays for more vivid colors. The Samsung Series 9 Premium Ultrabook is said to be the ideal travel companion, and since it has Samsung’s PowerPlus charging technology that works in tandem with an advanced Lithium-Polyester battery, it has a lifespan of up to 1,500 cycles, which means the product is capable of lasting up to three times more compared to your average notebook battery. An Intel Core i7 processor runs proceedings from within, aided by a 256GB solid state drive and Windows 8 Pro in tow. [Press Release]

Over at Amazon, one of the best Ultrabooks we’ve seen yet is at a significant discount. Samsung’s 2012 Series 9 is down to $700. For perspective, its MSRP was $1000 at launch and street price elsewhere is about $900. But formidable as the discount is, what makes this deal a real value is that this is a extremely nice laptop in terms of both build quality and specs. This is a new Samsung Series 9, launched with the same body and screen as Samsung’s standard bearing Series 9, but with a less expensive, older processor. More »

Well, this snuck up on us. Close to the end of the first official open-floor day at IFA, Samsung managed to eke out yet another product we want to get our hands on, soonish. This 13-inch Series 9 WQHD Ultrabook beams Windows 8 on 2,560 x 1,440 display (oh yes), making a visible leap beyond the existing Series 9 13-incher, which sticks to a more typical 1,600 x 900. Better still, the surface of the screen has a gentle matte finish. The engineering sample arrived in the Samsung spokesperson’s hands just seven days ago. The resolution matches ASUS’ high-grade gamer monitor in pixels, if falling ever so slightly short of the Retina Display on Apple’s newest MacBook model. There was no news on what the manufacturer will call the new display tech, further specifications, or even whether this was just a proof of concept — the device was chilling in the corner of the electronics giant’s innovation gallery. Hopefully, Samsung won’t hold out on those details for much longer. Take a look for yourself in our hands-on video after the break.

When we looked at the 13-inch Samsung Series 9, we lamented that there was only one version on offer: if anyone wanted more than a Core i5 and a 128GB drive, their dreams were crushed. Samsung must feel that there’s hope for us yet, as there’s now a higher-end spec that slots in a 1.9GHz Core i7 and doubles the storage to 256GB. That’s good news to us, even if the 4GB RAM ceiling will still have some avid Ultrabook fans turning elsewhere. Springing for the new flagship will set shoppers back by about $300 more than the previous top of the line, or $1,700 — still pricey relative to the competition, but much more palatable you’re searching for a premium Windows 7 ultraportable and aren’t willing to budge on screen size.
