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

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
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
Great design, Powerful, Backlit keyboard, Battery life,
Overall, the Samsung Series 9 900X3A ultra-portable laptop has been an absolute joy to both test and review. The build quality is out-standing and the included hardware has made the Series 9 laptop a great alternative to the Apple MacBook Air for all o...

This is a machine very much for the professional show-off to be seen with – a salesman or a designer. If you're not in this group, you still might appreciate the power and weight combination on offer here. I was extremely sceptical of the Series 9 concept...
Abstract: Is the Samsung Series 9 an alternative to Apple's money-no-object MacBook Air? In the world of high-end ultraportables, few Windows laptops can rival Apple’s MacBook Air. It’s an exclusive club: Sony's VAIO Z Series and Dell’s now defunct Adamo have pr...
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
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.
Overall, however, the Series 9 is an excellent computer. It's a great choice for those seeking a Windows alternative to the Apple MacBook Air, even if there's not a lot in the specs or designs to differentiate the two machines. Samsung Series 9 laptop...
Thin and light, great screen, powerful processor and plenty of RAM
Expensive, Windows 7 Home Premium, limited ports and docking options
The Samsung 900X is, in many ways, a perfect laptop. However, it is missing some key features that make it less than ideal for business customers. If you can work around these, though, it's a powerful and useful machine...
It isn't the super sexy MacBook Air slayer you might have hoped for
The Samsung Series 9 is packing more power than any other Windows ultra portable, and it does so in an attractive looking shell. That said, the £1299 pricetag is something you need to give a long hard think about.If size and reasonable (rather than max...
