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

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

While it's more powerful than the MacBook Air, it suffers from the same faults, namely limited connectivity and very low capacity in games. It is nevertheless a light, well finished, low quality model that'll make an excellent alternative for those who...
A great example of how Intel's new processors let manufacturers build powerful and slim laptops, but it's expensive and not quite as well built as the MacBook Air. ...
Abstract: Samsung takes on Apple at its own game, but the Series 9’s slender physique comes at a serious cost In the world of high-end ultraportables, few Windows laptops can rival Apple’s MacBook Air. It’s an exclusive club: Sony's VAIO Z Series and Dell’s now ...
Abstract: Of all the new Windows laptops that have made it to the market this year, Samsung’s Series 9 has me most excited. A clear competitor against the MacBook Air, the Series 9 manages to succeed where Apple has so far failed with the Air: it’s packing an In...
Not as sexy as the Macbook Air, Fingerprint magnet, Expensive
Lighter and arguably thinner than Apple's Macbook Air, the 13.3in, Series 9 900X3A may not be as pretty and attracts more fingerprints, but offers far more power and connectivity. Combined with a truly excellent screen, surprisingly good speakers, the bes...
