An Italian demonstrator gave us hope, but now we're empty inside -- the exceptionally thin 11.6-inch version of Samsung's 9 Series laptop will indeed come with a puny 64GB solid state drive. Well, perhaps empty is a bit of an exaggeration, as the machine's gorgeous duralumin curves fill our hearts with joy, as does the comparatively inexpensive $1,199 price tag that Sammy just confirmed on its website. And hey, we know of an Engadget editor making do with just 60GB of storage in his notebook, so it's not an untenable thing -- but when Samsung's marketing materials proudly boast that "You'll have room to bring it all with you with the 64GB drive," it's hard to repress the tears. That said, if "portable" is your middle name, you'll find all the pre-orders you need at our source link.

Personally, I wouldn't be gaming on this I3 or the Macbook Air's C2D. It does bother me to see that Apple put a CPU from two generations ago in a current computer but what tasks would you be doing on an 11.6" notebook that would really show the difference between an I3 @ 1.3ghz or a Core 2 Duo. That said, both Apple and Samsung need to include an extra 2gb onto their base configuration because it is 2011 and the profit difference from including 2gb Ram vs 4gb on a $1000+ notebook is marginal.
