Samsung launches new Series 9 Notebook for Rs 1.02 lakh

The Ultraboook/Notebook fever continues with Samsung launching the second generation of its Series 9 Notebook in India. According to Tech2.com,  the new Series 9 casing has a thickness of a mere 12.9mm, which makes it a strong contender in the fast expanding slim ultrabook market.

The Series 9 Notebook is priced sharply at Rs 1.02 lakh, but boasts impressive specs: It is powered by Intel’s latest  i7 processor 3517U CPU running at 1.9GHz with 4GB of DDR3 RAM.

The 13-inch screen PC  weighs 1.16 kg and has a screen resolution of 600 x 900 pixels along with an Intel HD Graphics 4000 if you plan to do some heavy graphics related work. The device also only comprises a 256GB Solid State Drive (SSD) or Flash Drive thus ensuring that the Notebook runs much faster.

Halo 4, Release confirmed officially

Halo 4 will be released on Tuesday, 6th November, according to The Verge.

It claims that Microsoft and the game's developer, 343 Industries, will announce the launch date before midday (EST time), so sometime before 5pm UK time.

The report also suggests that Microsoft will once again be showing off its wares on late-night American TV – Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski appeared on the show to promote Gears of War 3 last year – but this time Halo 4 is being linked with an appearance on Conan O'Brien.

These rumours seem to be backed up by some recent Twitter activity. Alison Stroll, a senior producer at 343 Industries, tweeted, "A little birdy (or was it Andy?) told us @TeamCoco will have some big Halo 4 news tomorrow. Stay tuned! #incoming #wakeupjon". Meanwhile, Major Nelson said, "Look for #Halo4 news on the way in the next 24 hours. Hint: @TeamCoco plays a part!"
