Samsung Series 3 11.6” Screen Laptop $350 at Staples next Week

Promotion of this deal is jumping the gun a bit, but it’s good enough to warrant.  Next week Staples will be selling the Samsung Series 3 11.6” screen laptop with a Core i3 processor for $349.99.  The price is set to drop from $699 to $349.99 on December 18th (Sunday).  The specification on this laptop are as follows:

Screen: 11.6" LED HD screen (1366×768 pixels resolution)Processor: 1.30GHz Intel Core i3-2357M processorStorage: 320GB SATA hard drive, 5400RPMMemory: 4GB DDR3 SDRAMGraphics: Intel GMA HD graphicsOS: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit OSSoftware: Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 preinstalled with product key for activation includedWireless: WiFi 802.11 b/g/n built-in, Bluetooth 3.0Ports & Slots: 4-in-1 memory card slot: SD, SDHC, SDCX, MMC, (3) USB 2.0 ports, VGA port, HDMI port, headphone/microphone combo jack, Gigabit EthernetBattery: 4-cell 4000mAh Lithium-Ion batteryDimensions: 10.9” (W) x 7.9” (H) x 0.87-1.04” (D)Weight: 2.84lbs

Furthermore, Staples has a trade in your old laptop for $100 program.  Basically, if you trade in a clunker of a laptop you get a further $100 off any laptop that’s regularly priced $599 or above in the form of a $100 Visa Prepaid Card.  Since this Samsung is currently $699 it qualifies, even though the price will drop to $349.99.  But wait, that’s not all (I feel like an As Seen on TV Marketer).  You also get a free Microsoft Office Home and Student product key with this purchase, that’s about a $70 value if you don’t want it and prefer to sell the product key on eBay.

The laptop itself is well designed and has great specification for its size.  At only 2.84lbs you’ll barely notice the weight in your backpack and it’s very thin at 1.04”.  Samsung has a great reputation in the laptop industry for making durable and portable laptops, so it’s not like you’re buying an ugly budget laptop for cheap here, it’s a premium design machine.  There will probably be a lot of demand for this when it goes on sale, so you might want to try and get to Staples early when the sale hits on Sunday.
