Samsung to Release New NB30 Pro Netbook, Four New Laptops

Samsung has recently announced that in a few days, they will be releasing a new netbook, as well as four business-based laptops.

Samsung's newest netbook, the NB30 Pro, is based on the NB30 model that was released earlier this year.  It'll feature a 10.1″ screen, be equipped with a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, and a 160 GB hard drive.  The NB30 Pro will also have 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, three USB 2.0 ports, a 0.3 megapixel webcam, and the Windows 7 Professional OS.  Battery life on this baby isn't bad at all — 6.5 hours — but it's not the best available either; some netbook batteries last up to 10 or 12 hours.

Samsung's four new business-based laptops are part of the P80 Premium and P30 Essential series.  The P80 Premium series will feature two new laptops, the 14″ P480 and the 15.6″ P580.  Both of these laptops will be equipped with a 2.26GHz Intel Core i5-450M processor, up to 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, and up to 320 GB of storage space (5400rpm).  The laptops will also have Intel GMA HD graphics, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, high definition audio, four USB 2.0 ports, a 0.3 megapixel webcam, and a pair of 1.5W speakers.  Battery life for the P480 laptop will be roughly 4.3 hours while that for the P580 laptop will be roughly 4.4 hours.

The P30 Essential series will feature two new laptops as well, the 14″ P430 and the 15.6″ P530.  Both laptops will be equipped wiht a 2.13GHz Intel Core i3-330M processor, up to 3 GB of DDR3 RAM, and up to 250 GB of storage.  Other features of these laptops include Intel GMA HD graphics, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, three USB 2.0 ports, a 0.3 megapixel webcam, and a pair of 1.5W speakers.

Since all these laptops are geared towards business use, they will (by default) come with the Windows 7 Professional operating system.  No information regarding pricing of these netbooks or laptops is yet available, but we'll keep you posted when he we hear more news.
