Samsung Series 7 Coming with Windows 8

Samsung has finally released information on their long awaited Series 7 laptops. To get a picture of how frustrating it's been for many of us out there waiting daily for information on it's release, Samsung announced this laptop to be available by October 2nd - it's now November 9th and we're only getting news.

According to Bloomberg, Samsung's head of sales Uhm Kyo Ho stated that Samsung's releasing an updated version of the Series 7 running on Microsoft's newest OS, Windows 8. Could be this be why the Series 7 has periodically disappeared from preorder sites?


The only issue with this for folk's who've been waiting is that Uhm Kyo Ho also announced that the updated Series 7 with the touchscreen-tailored Windows 8 will be out the middle of 2012. This means more waiting, not likely to fly well with those who've preordered again and again to no avail.

It's no doubt that the Samsung Series 7 has got to be one the most attractive looking laptops around. Seeing that it'll come with the spankin' new Windows 8 OS only makes the deal even sweeter. Only the waiting's making it bitter... very bitter.

What I'm hoping Samsung will do is release the models that should have been retailing since October 2nd. Give people the option to purchase now what they've been waiting for and allow them to later upgrade to Windows 8 should they wish. It's a win-win scenario for both Samsung and the consumer.
