Yesterday, Samsung updated its flagship Series 9 laptop with some new features along with full HD 1080p display. The company also announced a new ATIV Smart PC Pro with LTE capability. Both devices are running on Windows 8 Pro, the main difference is in the processor. Where one runs on a core i5 Intel CPU, the other is blazing with a core i7 CPU.

The Samsung Series 9 Premium Ultrabook is very similar to the previous version, the main difference here is the higher resolution LED-backlit 1920x1080 full HD display. This allows for 40 percent more content on screen compared to the previous version that only had a 1600x900 HD+ display.

Potential buyers of the Series 9 Premium Ultrabook should love the innards of this Ultrabook, as it sports a core i7 Itel processor and a 256GB SSD drive. SSD drives are capable of boosting a system boot time by up to 60 percent when compared to traditional hard disk drives. All this power doesn't come cheap, so prepare to cough up $1,899.99 for the privilege of using a faster and more stable Samsung Ultrabook.

The next big announcement is that of the ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T, a device with a 11.6-inch display capable of pushing full 1080p HD. At its core, the ATIV Smart Pro is sporting a core i5 Intel processor, 4GB of RAM, 128GB SSD drive, 8-hour battery life and Windows 8 Pro. For those who are interested in Samsung's latest ATIV Windows 8 device, make sure to have $1.599.99 reserved.

"With the introduction of the new professional ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T and the full HD resolution Series 9 Premium Ultrabook, Samsung is continuing its focus on innovation while delivering on the needs of a growing number of mobile professionals," said Tod Pike, senior vice president at Samsung's Enterprise Business Division. "Samsung is providing business professionals on-the-go with the necessary tools for increased connectivity, productivity and ultimately success."

It's a bit surprising to see Samsung still focusing heavily on Windows 8 products after what the CEO and an executive previously stated about Microsoft's new OS.
