The good: The new 13-inch Samsung Series 9 is incredibly light and thin, with excellent battery life, and a bright matte 1,600x900-pixel screen.
The bad: It lacks bells and whistles (discrete graphics, more storage, faster processor) seen in higher-end Windows ultrabooks, and the base model costs $100 more than a MacBook Air.
The bottom line: If you're looking for a beautifully built, extremely thin, light, and portable ultrabook, the Samsung Series 9 rises above the competition. It may lack a few top-end features, but it's a perfect ultraportable for those who can afford it.

Touchpad is TERRIBLE!!
by richardreinhard3 on June 7, 2013
Pros: This computer is extremely durable! It has survived multiple drops. Battery life is excellent. Computer is extremely light and keyboard touch is excellent. Screen is crisp and clear and computer is very fast.
Cons: The touchpad is so extremely sensitive that you cannot type on it without turning it off. There is no way to have the touchpad deactivated when typing so you are relegated to using an external mouse. I have multiple coworkers with the same problem.
Summary: I would NOT recommend this product to a friend. If you don't mind carying an external mouse and turning off the touchpad, then I would recommend this computer.

- Manufacturer: Samsung
- Part number: NP900X3C
- Description: The Series 9 is designed with mobility in mind, thanks to dramatic duralumin enclosure complete with arching curves and remarkable durability. Duralumin is twice the strength of aluminum, despite being light in weight. Elegant from every angle, the Series 9 also includes backlit keyboard, brilliant LCD display screen and a large multi-touch clickpad. It's a minimalist look that is both simple and sophisticated.
