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

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...
