hey guys this is Joanna for the verge and I am here with the new samsung series 9 this is the old one here on the right the new one here on the left and you can see they've done a lot of redesigning and its really really nice I'm a really big fan of the black lid sort of different than what we've been seeing from the rest of the ultra books out there though they aren't calling this one an ultrabook actually but anyway it is really thin but they fit on a number of ports there's actually an SD card slot right down there which is really nice they fit that in didn't have it on the first one other than that just the make here feels really good better than most of the ultrabooks I've been seeing let me open up the lid here so you can see what's going on there just again just to talk about the make its aluminium all around the palm rest here is feels like aluminum as well though it has sort of a rubber feel to it and they said they've improved that since the original the display is 13 inches it's got a 1600 x 900 resolution which is pretty nice also a 400 nits brightness there it's also got a backlit keyboard it's not on right now but you can see sort of the spacing here it's pretty nice and internally it's going to have a core i5 processor 128 gigabyte SSD and 4 gigabytes of RAM and they're not positive on the pricing at least of the time I'm shooting this which is a little bit before CES but they're saying it's going to be lower than fifteen hundred dollars so that is a first look here at the samsung series 9 hoping to get a deeper look at it in a couple weeks and do a full review to test out the battery and the performance you
