Category:
A laptop, also known as a notebook, is a portable computer. When you are looking for the right laptop, it is important to know where you are going to work with it. Do you want to use it on the road? Choose a model with a special energy-saving 'mobile' processor, a good battery and a reasonably small display. This will allow you to work longer with the same battery and saves you the trouble of carrying around a large display that consumes a lot of precious battery power. Or will you be using you laptop mainly in places where you will have access to a power outlet? Then choose a desktop processor (more processing power for less money) and an ordinary battery. This will save you a lot of money, which you could then spend on a bigger screen. You'll work faster because you can view more information at once and it's great for multimedia!

Samsung, for me, is one of the world's top three manufacturers, alongside Apple and Sony. So the Series 9 should be as special as its peerless TVs and Galaxy tablets. And it is a very nice laptop – if you have some compelling reason to need Windows. I wou...

Good 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...
Bad 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.
Bottom line 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...

When it comes to designer computer hardware, few companies are as emulation-worthy as Apple. Its 13in Macbook Air has been the standard by which sleek ultraportables have been judged since the original Air came out in 2008. Few companies are in a better a...

Bottom line 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...

Many manufacturers are trying to equal Apple when it comes to the thinnest and lightest laptop out there, a performance that Apple succeeded with their MacBook Air. If you ask me, an extra inch or 100 grams are not that important if you feel comfortable w...
Bottom line 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...

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...

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...

Thinner, lighter than AirThe 900X3A, also known as the Series 9, is nearly identical in size to the 13inch MacBook Air. It's ever so slightly thinner and lighter, but you'd never notice it unless you came armed with calipers and scales.First impressions a...

This machine has a price tag to match the Air, but fortunately, turns out to be an extremely well-engineered laptop with none of the usual rough edges. Just sharp ones, as we'll see. So what does £1,099 buy you? Surprisingly, quite a lot – but this is emp...
Bottom line 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...

There have been a few quite a few ultra-portables inspired by Apple’s super-thin MacBook Air and, clearly, the Samsung Series 9 that I am looking at today is one of them. What differentiates Samsung from others is mostly specs- while other ultra-portab...
