Samsung Series 9: 11 inch vs 13 inch

Hey guys. First time posting here, but I've been reading the forum alot recently and got alot of valuable information



So I have been very interested in the new Samsung Series 9 and especially the 11 inch little brother, however I do have a few concerns and questions so I decided to turn to you guys for some advice. Basically I need a very portable machine with decent performance, good battery life and nice design Also love the great screen. There are some revies around for the 13 inch one and it seems like it's receiving alot good scores, but there are some key differences between the two models though. I'm writing this mainly from the perspective of the 11 inch one, since that's the one I'm thinking of purchasing.



1. Unlike the bigger version which is powered by i5 2537M, the 11 inch one is running on i3 380UM. Does anyone know what is the difference on performance and battery life between these two? Now I don't plan to do alot of heavy stuff or heavy gaming, just using it for school stuff, normal light use and occasional League of Legends game if possible



2. My other, perhaps the biggest, concern is the fact that in the 11 inch model there is only 2GB of DDR3 system memory(which is also the maximum). Is this gonna entirely cripple the experience?



3. 64 GB SSD. Would guess for some people it's a huge deal to have so little space for me it's not a big deal since I'm not planning to store alot of

stuff in it.



4. The official Samsung site lists both as having Intel HD Graphics 3000. I'm a little bit confused since I was under the impression that this feature is integrated on the new Sandy Bridge processors and although the 13 inch version has one, I'm not sure how the 11 inch version with slightly older i3 380UM is also listed as having the new graphics. I'm a little bit confused here so I'd appreciate if someone could clear this out for me



I really hope that these differences won't make the little brother a retard brother because I really like the small size and more reasonable price tag ($1199.99 vs $1649.99). Also hoping they have the same, bright and matte screen.



Any information and comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
