Samsung has unveiled their 2010 lineup of portable computers targeted towards a professionally-minded crowd. The new releases consist of the P80 Premium series and P30 Essential series, plus the NB30 Pro netbook.
Both the P80 and P30 laptops are available with two possible display sizes with a 1,366 x 768 resolution: 14-inch (P480, P430) or 15-inch (P580, P530). All of the new devices have been built with a focus on connectivity and security, but also with a durable design if business users plan on taking these computers out of the office often. For example, the NB30 sports a free-fall sensor for the hard drive in case of drops, plus a keyboard that is water-resistant against up to 50cc of spilled liquid.
Here's a complete breakdown of the trio of new Samsung releases:

While the NB30 Pro might be a durable notebook, I would have hoped for more impressive specs (larger hard drive, longer battery life) for that price tag. Although the inclusion of Windows 7 Pro rather than the Starter version is a nice boost.
All of these Samsung computers will be available in "late May," which should be any day now since it's almost June.
