Before this fall's avalanche of
ultrabook releases, there was another super slim, portable and
powerful laptop, which can actually be
considered the first ever Apple MacBook Air successor.
The Samsung Series 9 is available for a
long time now in two versions, an 11-incher and a 13-
incher, and, despite the Asus UX 21 and
31's success, should keep its popularity for quite some
time. In the following Samsung Series 9
review we will take a quick look at the specs of this
amazing device, trying to determine its
most important strong and weak points.
Exterior and design
The Series 9, also known as the Samsung
NP900, is made mostly out of duraluminum, a very
strong and reliable metal. The overall
design, while pretty straightforward and basic, makes the
ultrabook look elegant and chic. We
also appreciate the fact that, unlike some of the other
ultrabooks on the market, the Series 9
doesn't look very much like the MacBook Air.
As far as dimensions and weight goes,
the Series 9 goes for 2.3 pounds (the 11-inch model) and
2.9 pounds (the 13-incher) and measures
in both cases around 0.6 inches in depth. That is pretty
much on-par with the MacBook Air, as
well as all the other ultrabooks available at the moment.
Screen, hardware and performance
The 11-inch Samsung mini laptop sports
an LED-backlit widescreen display with 1366 x 768 pixels
resolution, while the 13-inch model
comes with a similar, larger screen with the same resolution. In
both cases you should expect nice and
crisp colors and it is also worth mentioning that both
displays are matte and should be very
capable no matter what the lighting conditions.
As for the hardware, the Series 9 is
actually available in several different models, with slight
tweaks in terms of tech specs. The best
Samsung ultrabook comes with a very snappy 1.5 GHz
Intel Core i7 processor, as well as 6
GB of RAM, an Intel HD graphics card and a 256 GB solid
state drive.
Battery life and pricing
In terms of battery, the Series 9 can
stand a comparison with all other ultrabooks released lately
and is able to run for over five hours
between charges.
As for the Samsung's ultrabook price,
this varies from model to model. The 11-incher is available
for between 999 and 1,184.99 dollars,
while the 13-incher starts at $1,199 and can go to up to
1,999 bucks, depending on the exact
hardware configuration. Pretty pricey, you might think, but
on-par with this laptop's features and
capabilities.For more information
