First Samsung Series 3 laptop starts shipping, boasts a 12.5" screen

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd has released their first model of the Series 3 laptops called Samsung series 3 350U2B. The distribution of this laptop is still only through some of the online retailers. Though termed as laptop but actually it can stand between laptops and the netbooks – let’s call it an ultraportable. Though it has good enough configuration but the missing CD ROM may be a major factor regarding its sales. Samsung has valued it as a $735 product.

The laptop weighs around 3.1 pounds and has the dimensions measuring 11.8 inch x 7.7 inch x 1 inch.
