A thin
Stylish design
Long battery life

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

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

Wireless app notification every five minutes is a little annoying but can be turned off
Slightly underwhelming design when compared with the MacBook Air

Ambient light sensor is sometimes erratic
HDMI adapter isn't supplied

Much too expensive. Surprisingly lackluster performance, particularly at graphical tasks. SOL if you need a full SD card reader. Bummer clickpad problems
Though Apple was not the first to create an ultra slim notebook, the popularity of the Macbook Air did not go unnoticed. PC makers have been clamoring to produce a suitable rival and Samsung seems to be the first to succeed in its endeavor. The NP900X...
Abstract: More and more consumers are looking for thinner and slimmer electronics. We like slim TVs. We like thin cameras. And this fascination with increasingly slender profiles has clearly extended to the world of notebook computers too, but the MacBook Air fr...
