Way-too-high sticker price
Flexy case design doesn't feel as good as the MacBook Air.
Abstract: Though Apple didn't invent the thin and light market, it did change it from a hugely expensive and slow as treacle ‘executive’ product segment to something that humans would probably like to use.And then it stagnated.Since the launch of the Air in ...
Impressively light. Backlit keyboard. Large touch pad. Good battery life. SSD is reasonably fast. Bundled software is unobtrusive
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
Samsung's Series 9 is a gorgeously thin piece of equipment, which would be great for any traveller looking for something light, thin and portable. If the MacBook Air is out of the question due to OS X, this may be your next port of call — just be prepa...

Excellent built quality and design, Fast SSD, Excellent screen
Wi-Fi adapter is not dual-band, Ambient light sensor is sometimes erratic, HDMI adapter isn't supplied
The Samsung Series 9 has strong build quality, a sleek design and many great features that make it comfortable to use. It's high price tag definitely makes it a luxury item, but if you want excellent mobility and usability in the same package, it's hard t...
Lighter and 'arguably' thinner than the MacBook Air; superb touchpad; ultra bright display;
Wireless app notification every five minutes is a little annoying but can be turned off; slightly underwhelming design when compared with the MacBook Air;

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
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
The $1,649 Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A certainly won't be for every wallet, but this light, well-featured, and striking 13-incher is the closest the Windows world will ever come to a MacBook Air. However, its higher-than-the-Air price will be hard to stoma...
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: 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...
