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

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
Not as sexy as the Macbook Air, Fingerprint magnet, Expensive
Lighter and arguably thinner than Apple's Macbook Air, the 13.3in, Series 9 900X3A may not be as pretty and attracts more fingerprints, but offers far more power and connectivity. Combined with a truly excellent screen, surprisingly good speakers, the bes...

The Samsung Series 9 is a very classy and versatile computer, being probably the lightest 13.3 inch computer out there and probably also the thinnest in its class. It has great hardware and is utterly enjoyable to use, but comes at a pretty steep price ...
Abstract: The Samsung 900X3A is a promising ultra-portable laptop. It closely matches the latest MacBook Air, our current favourite, with similar weight, size and features. The 900X3A could be a good alternative if you want to stick with Windows, but much will d...
Abstract: We liked the look of the original Sandy Bridge-based Samsung Series 9 laptop, so the slimmer, even-more-lightweight Ivy Bridge-powered model had us salivating when we saw it at a preview in Sydney last month. But as always, the question with laptops i...
To many of our readers the Series 9 will look like an almost desperate attempt by Samsung to create a bona fide Macbook Air competitor or at the very least make their presence known in the ultra portable market. Well, a statement has certainly been mad...
Abstract: Lenovo’s monolith-like ThinkPads have traditionally been the antithesis of sleek and hip computer design. Purposefully business-y in both form and function, they’re not the sort of notebooks one whips out at Starbucks in hope of generating a little gee...
Abstract: The first impression given by Samsung’s new 900X notebook is that it is the Windows equivalent of the MacBook Air. It’s thin and light at 1.31 kg, but feels solid and firm to the touch. While the all black finish made it minimalistic in its appearance,...
Abstract: Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A-B01UB Laptop is one that ships in with the all the cool stuff stacked in the beautiful design. The laptop has come in as an initiative for the many that were looking in for the basic and durable one for all the necessary things t...
Abstract: When it comes to super-lightweight laptops there are two camps: the MacBook Air and everything else. There are plenty of smaller-scale notebooks that come close to matching the Air for size or performance, but no one other than Apple has quite managed to ...
