Samsung Series 3 (11.6-inch)
1 of 6 from Slim and ultraportable laptops

Samsung's tiny laptop isn’t an "Ultrabook," but it's more affordable and just as powerful. A rose by any other name, in this case, is a budget portable laptop that might be the perfect fit for those who can't stomach a $1,000 MacBook Air.
The good: Samsung's Series 3 is a more economical take on the company's cool Series 9 laptops, and one of the few 11-inch laptops with an Intel Core i3 CPU.
The bad: At $699, it's priced out of the league of other 11-inch ultraportables.
The bottom line: Samsung's sharp designs translate well to this more affordable new line, although the Series 3 is still at the high end of the ultraportable price range.
