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

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
Ruggedized, sleek aluminum design. Powerful Core i5 Sandy Bridge processor. 6 hours of battery life.Ethernet is a feature you don't get with the Air 13-inch. Backlit keyboard. Excellent typing experience. Anti-glare screen.
Expensive. Ports are cumbersome to access.
The Samsung Series 9 ultraportable laptop is a cracker-thin (but robust) Windows version of the Air 13-inch and will cost you just as much Buy it now...
Beautiful, thin, and light chassis Backlit keyboardSpeedy Core i5 and SSD performance
Expensive No SD card slot or higher res display optionTouchpad lacks palm rejection
Finally! The Series 9 gets right what so many other ultrathin PCs have repeatedly gotten wrong. It's got a brand spankin' new and speedy Sandy Bridge Core i5 processor, a fast 128GB SSD as well as a high quality screen and stunning exterior. And on top of...

Samsung's 13.3 inch 900X3A supplies state of the art technology and the best mobility qualities to an equal amount for 1600 euros. An economic ultra low voltage core with incorporated Intel HD Graphics 3000 is onboard with the Sandy Bridge processor, Core...
Incredibly thin, light, Very good performance, Sturdy feel, Bright display, Long warranty
Pricey, Mediocre battery life, No optical drive, Limited port selection
Sleek design, a light-yet-durable chassis, and solid speed make this ultraportable a serious wow-inducer, even if it can't quite surpass its tough competition. ...
To many of our readers the Series 9 will look like an almost desperate attempt by Samsung to create a bona fide Macbook Air competitor or at the very least make their presence known in the ultra portable market. Well, a statement has certainly been mad...
Abstract: Lenovo’s monolith-like ThinkPads have traditionally been the antithesis of sleek and hip computer design. Purposefully business-y in both form and function, they’re not the sort of notebooks one whips out at Starbucks in hope of generating a little gee...

The Samsung Series 9 is a strong performer that easily matches the best ultrabooks on the market when it comes to style and portability. If you don't mind paying a bit extra for the premium trimmings, it's a solid contendor...
With the newest 11.6” Samsung Series 9 notebook, Samsung has successfully demonstrated that you can indeed have a sexy ultraportable computer without ripping off the MacBook Air design or charging an arm and two legs like Sony did for the VAIO Z. It's a ...
Abstract: Though Apple didn't invent the thin and light market, it did change it from a hugely expensive and slow as treacle ‘executive’ product segment to something that humans would probably like to use.And then it stagnated.Since the launch of the Air in ...
