Samsung's Ativ Book 9 Lite is only around one-third the price of the Plus model. This means a plastic chassis and cheap screen and processor, while keeping an impressively thin and light form factor. Component downgrades mean this laptop is no powerhouse...

Samsung's ATIV Book 9 Plus seriously impressed us, so we had high hopes for the lesser of the 9 series: the ATIV Book 9 Lite (MSRP $799.99). The two laptops share a lot of similarities, but they're clearly not the same. The ATIV Book 9 Lite plays out lik...
When price outweighs performance this heavily, consumers should pass. Samsung's ATIV Book 9 Lite is a disappointment. I had high expectations for this laptop after thoroughly enjoying my time with the higher-end ATIV Book 9 Plus . Unfortunately, the w...

Before I even start this review, I'm going to lay down the law so to speak. The term Ultrabook adheres to a device that follows Intel's strict guidelines and while the device that we're looking at today may look Ultrabook-esque, it features AMD CPU archit...

Samsung's Book 9 Lite has been around for a while now, and its original £600 price tag has now been cut to £499 on a number of web sites. It's not a top performer by any means, but at that price it's one of the slimmest and most elegant budget laptop curr...
The Samsung Book 9 Lite certainly has its flaws – its low-grade display means limited viewing angles that would be unacceptable in anything other than a budget laptop. However, its performance is rescued by that solid-state drive, while its attractive sli...

The laptop is very easy on the eye, especially when you consider that it is using a plastic chassis. Overall, this is definitely one of the best looking, if not the best looking budget laptop on the market. Portability is also key here and if you are look...
