Samsung refreshes Series 9 Ultrabook, but where’s the ‘Retina’ display?

Samsung launched an even pricier version of its high-end Series 9 Ultrabook Monday, but the company isn’t quite ready to trade blows with Apple on the “Retina” display front.

The new Series 9 replaces the 1600-pixel by 1200-pixel resolution display of its older models with a 13-inch, 1080p panel. The new Series 9 also comes with double the solid state storage of its predecessors, at 256GB.

Other specs on the new model are the same as those on previous Series 9s, including an Intel Core i7 processor, Intel HD 4000 graphics, 4GB of RAM, two USB ports (one USB 3.0), and an SD card slot. The laptop measures 0.51 inches thick and weighs 2.56 pounds.

But this thin-and-light, high-resolution package comes at a high price: $1,900, compared to $1,400 for Samsung’s existing 13-inch Series 9.
