Samsung Series 9 Ultrabooks to Receive Ivy Bridge Upgrades

A listing on Samsung’s UK website reveals that its highly-acclaimed Series 9 ultrabooks will be upgraded with Intel’s Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The upcoming 15-inch laptop, with its 1600 x 900 resolution screen, will feature an 1.7GHz Intel Core i5 3317U processor, which will work alongside an improved HD 4000 graphics card and a HM75 Express chipset. The laptop will also get an RAM bump from 4GB to 8GB, while its solid-state drive will remain at 128GB.

Reviews have been all praises for this ultrabook series, even with its yesteryear’s chipsets. Imagine how the laptops will fare with improved hardware, all while maintaining its slim profile and roomy screen.

No word on the availability and pricing of the improved Samsung Series 9 Ultrabook. However, judging by its current model expect a price range of $1,400 to $1,500.
