Wonderful aesthetics and great performance
The design of the Series 9 is the most impressive part of this laptop
And although it's not quite as thin as the MacBook Air
It's easily as attractive. It's also incredibly slim and lightweight
Making it a machine that you really can take with you wherever you go. The 13.3-inch screen gets a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution. It's relatively sharp
And offers excellent colour reproduction. It's also

Computing power isn't great
Expensive
Needs adapter cable for wired networking
Price
Keyboard
Questionable structural integrity of Duralumin
Small hard drive size
Touchpads with integrated buttons
128GB of storage is stingy
It isn't the super sexy MacBook Air slayer you might have hoped for
Windows 7 Home Premium
Limited ports and docking options
For this price
We'd have liked a better screen.
With a machine this thin
There's no space for an optical drive. We didn't find this a problem
But it's worth considering before you buy. The Samsung also lags slightly behind the MacBook Air when it comes to the design of the bottom of the machine – while the top is finished in brushed aluminium
The bottom is a rather cheap feeling plastic.
Touchpad takes getting used to
Lower Resolution than we'd have liked
Battery Life
Pricey
Touch pad is finicky
Replaceable battery would have been nice
Poor colour accuracy
Low gaming capacity
Very reduced interface connectivity
You may have to take the kids out of private school to afford it
MicroSD card support
Uses adaptor for LAN
Connect to VGA
Micro HDMI to VGA converter cable not included.
High price makes the MacBook Air look downright affordable by comparison
Flexy case design doesn't feel as good as the MacBook Air's
Abstract: Samsung, for me, is one of the world's top three manufacturers, alongside Apple and Sony. So the Series 9 should be as special as its peerless TVs and Galaxy tablets. And it is a very nice laptop – if you have some compelling reason to need Windows. I wou...
Abstract: Of the three, the Samsung Series 9 is in the middle weight-wise, but can lay claim to being the thinnest – even if the Mac could also clinch that title if you averaged out its slenderest and fattest bits. Clearly, things are getting a bit silly as manufa...
Samsung's Series 9 is a stunning laptop that's superbly built, has an excellent screen and which feels good to use. It's the thinnest notebook on the market and among the lightest. Even so, it runs an Intel Ivy Bridge CPU that supplies more than decent...

The Samsung Series 9 is a sleek machine, but backed by middling performance.We still can't get over how good looking the Samsung Series 9 is. And with a travel weight (laptop and charger) of 52.7 ounces, it's extremely portable. That said, its performance...

Abstract: The Series 9 is Samsung's ultraportable model, with a slimline profile and sleek design. We found that, while it was lightweight, it was a little lacking in performance power and battery life. Sections The Series 9 is Samsung's ultraportable model, with...
Touchpad takes getting used to, Lower Resolution than we'd have liked, Battery Life
The second generation of Series 9 is a beautiful machine, with a good amount of power, but a few little niggles and could have better battery life making it an attractive, yet not quite perfect machine....
It's such a shame that the Samsung can't squeeze a bit more speed from its processor or more life out of its battery, as it is a rather nice laptop. The backlit keyboard and non-reflective screen make it very easy to use in all kinds of environments. W...

On the face of it this beautifully designed, slim and feather-light laptop is a business laptop extraordinaire, for Windows devotees. Its design, keyboard and Intel i5-powered performance is awesome, though we’re not sure it’s suited to anyone than the...
Great design, Powerful, Backlit keyboard, Battery life,
Overall, the Samsung Series 9 900X3A ultra-portable laptop has been an absolute joy to both test and review. The build quality is out-standing and the included hardware has made the Series 9 laptop a great alternative to the Apple MacBook Air for all o...
