The editors liked
A thin
Stylish design
Long battery life
Excellent screen
And a new second-generation Intel Core i5 CPU make the Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A one of the best ultrathin Windows laptops we've ever seen
Lighter and 'arguably' thinner than the MacBook Air
Superb touchpad
Ultra bright display
Excellent built quality and design
Fast SSD
Impressively light. Backlit keyboard. Large touch pad. Good battery life. SSD is reasonably fast. Bundled software is unobtrusive

Speedy and usable
The editors didn't like
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
Wireless app notification every five minutes is a little annoying but can be turned off
Slightly underwhelming design when compared with the MacBook Air
Wi-Fi adapter is not dual-band
Ambient light sensor is sometimes erratic
HDMI adapter isn't supplied
Multi-touch touch pad still dismays. Terrible speakers. Doesn't support 5GHz 802.11n. Gigabit Ethernet limited to USB 2.0 speeds. Micro HDMI to HDMI converter not included. microSD port isn't as useful as SD. Pricey

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 ...

Samsung's Series 9 is a gorgeously thin piece of equipment, which would be great for any traveller looking for something light, thin and portable. If the MacBook Air is out of the question due to OS X, this may be your next port of call — just be prepa...

A thin, stylish design, long battery life, excellent screen, and a new second-generation Intel Core i5 CPU make the Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A 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 stoma...
