Samsung Lightens The Load With Featherweight-design Notebook 9 Series PC

CES, Las Vegas — January 5, 2011 — Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, today unveiled the Samsung Notebook 9 Series at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. With a weight of only 1.31kg, measuring only 16.3mm in depth, and with a screen size of 13 inches, the Samsung Notebook 9 Series is a premium notebook for consumers who pursue the best of everything: design, performance and usability.

Samsung's Notebook 9 Series has been equipped with a vivid "SuperBright Plus" display (400nit) with 16 million colour reproduction, all encased in the most advanced duralumin metal alloy. The Samsung Notebook 9 Series ultra premium notebook offers a bright, vivid viewing experience, premium outfit, and optimised power and performance.

"The Samsung Notebook 9 Series notebook combines so many great elements of the mobile computing experience and is driving the market forward in terms of design, display and overall capabilities," said Seongwoo Nam, executive vice president and head of the IT Solutions Business at Samsung Electronics. "The display alone is exceptional but to see it in an extremely mobile design is really impressive. When designing an ultra premium notebook, Samsung wanted to give users a notebook experience without limitations and the Notebook 9 Series excels on all fronts."

Compact & Light
Samsung's Notebook 9 Series is designed for those who take pride in their professionalism and never settle for less than the very best.

The Samsung Notebook 9 Series is crafted from duralumin, a lightweight material that is twice as strong as aluminum and normally used in advanced aircraft design. While working on the design for its premium notebook, the Samsung Notebook 9 Series underwent an exhaustive testing process, ensuring the Notebook 9 Series is durable enough for use at home and on the go.

The sophisticated beauty of the flowing line on the side of the Notebook 9 Series is a key design concept. The flowing line gives the Notebook 9 Series an aerodynamic and sleek style much like a premium sports car. The aerodynamic style and refined line express controlled power, while the Notebook 9 Series' naturally flowing arch fits comfortably in the hand.

Ultra Vivid Display
The true to life quality of the Notebook 9 Series display shows that picture quality does not have to be sacrificed for mobility. The notebook‟s SuperBright Plus display with 400nit brightness, which is two times brighter than conventional Samsung notebook displays, as well as its vibrant Colour reproduction (16 million colours) and Super Contrast ratio (1,300:1), makes it one of the most beautiful notebook displays on the market. Its fresh and vivid look brings multimedia to life and gives users an unforgettable gaming experience. Each of its 16 million colours illustrates and defines a crystal clear picture quality that is the hallmark of Samsung‟s display industry leadership.

The Notebook 9 Series' premium notebook display also includes advanced usability and performance- enhancing features. Utilising ambient light sensors, the Auto Display Brightness controls measure light levels in the vicinity of the notebook and automatically adjusts the brightness of the display to ensure an optimised user experience, all the while conserving battery life. This innovative feature is complemented by an automatically adjusting backlit keyboard that adapts to darker light conditions with greater illumination.

Innovation on the Inside
The Notebook 9 Series' sleek design and display does not overshadow its performance. Equipped with Microsoft Windows 7 and the 2nd generation Intel® CoreTM i5 Processor* with up to 4GB memory, the Notebook 9 Series accelerates performance by dynamically allocating processing power where it's needed most, using Intel‟s intellig
