Are you a businessperson in search of a portable computing device? Then Samsung claims to have a few new options designed with just you in mind in the form of its new P80 Premium and P30 Essential series laptops, and NB30 Pro netbook. On the laptop side of things, the P80 and P30 series are each available in 14-inch and 15-inch versions, with the P80 models packing a Core i5 processor, 320GB hard drive and a docking connector, while the P30 models dial things back to a Core i3 and a 250GB hard drive. As you might expect, the NB30 Pro (pictured above) is simply a slightly updated version of Samsung’s regular NB30 netbook, with it boasting an Atom N450 processor, a 160GB hard drive, up to 2GB of RAM, and Windows 7 Professional for an OS. Look for it to run you $519, while the P30 and P80 will start at $849 and $999, respectively — all should be available by the end of the month. Head on past the break for the complete press release.
