Samsung Series 9 (13 in) review: Samsung Series 9 (13 in)

 

Samsung Series 9 (13 in)

A thin, stylish design, long battery life, excellent screen, and a new second-generation Intel Core i5 CPU make the ; one of the best ultrathin Windows laptops we've ever seen.

The Series 9's way-too-high sticker price makes the MacBook Air look downright affordable by comparison; the flexy case design doesn't feel as good as the MacBook Air's, either.

The $1,649 Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A certainly won't be for every wallet, but this light, well-featured, and striking 13-incher is the closest the Windows world will ever come to a MacBook Air. However, its higher-than-the-Air price will be hard to...

Samsung Series 9 (13 in) review

 

If every action has an equal and opposite reaction, then consider the Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A to be a direct response to Apple's MacBook Air . It's been a long time since we've seen two laptops so seemingly intertwined--in purpose, design,...

"Beautiful but so many problems - don't buy"

 

So I was in love with this computer when I first got it - it looked like it fulfilled all my needs for a lightweight all-purpose working computer, and I got it for $899 so I thought I was getting a real bargain. Unfortunately, I've only had it for a...

Best screen ever - matte, bright, high resolution, great viewing angles, perfect.

Poor quality - definitely won't last more than a few years

"Only usable when plugged into an external monitor."

 

Sending back. Customer service only said "I'm sorry to hear your screen is black." Received on a Monday. Malfunctioning by Thursday. Boots up, the screen's backlight is on, but nothing shows up on the screen. Only usable when plugged into an external...

It's light

Other than the malfunctioning screen, the track pad isn't as responsive as one would like. Also, why would you separate left click/right click without a clear divider you can feel?

"Way too expensive, but a nice piece of hardware."

 

I've had this for over a year now and have had to get the WiFi modual repaired twice (thank god it was under warranty)...but at this price, everything should be flawless. This is the fastest Windows 7 experience i've ever seen. Boot up is less than 10...

Unibody design

COST $$$$
