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

Matte panel, Nice design and finish, Good CPU performance, Battery life 5h15
Poor colour accuracy, Low gaming capacity, Very reduced interface connectivity
While it's more powerful than the MacBook Air, it suffers from the same faults, namely limited connectivity and very low capacity in games. It is nevertheless a light, well finished, low quality model that'll make an excellent alternative for those who...
A great example of how Intel's new processors let manufacturers build powerful and slim laptops, but it's expensive and not quite as well built as the MacBook Air. ...
Abstract: Samsung takes on Apple at its own game, but the Series 9’s slender physique comes at a serious cost 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 ...
Abstract: Of all the new Windows laptops that have made it to the market this year, Samsung’s Series 9 has me most excited. A clear competitor against the MacBook Air, the Series 9 manages to succeed where Apple has so far failed with the Air: it’s packing an In...
