Samsung 900X4C review

Is this Samsung Series 9 Ultrabook a MacBook Air killer? We put the 15incher through the Stuff.tv laptop torture chamber

Too expensive – but with a better screen it'd be a MacBook killer

Samsung 900X4C review

Samsung's Series 9 notebook range includes the NP900X4C-A01UK, a 15in screen model now packing Intel Ivy Bridge power and familiar Air-like styling.

That great anti-glare display and crisp all-aluminium shell lift the Samsung Series 9 15-incher above the ultrabook rabble, and speedy Intel silicon inside keeps the notebook fast and very far from ephemeral. If you need a light and limber laptop with...

Samsung Notebook NP900X4C

This is a thin and light notebook – claimed as the thinnest – but as soon as you boot it up you notice it is also very fast so without looking you know that a ten second boot and seven second shutdown means it has an SSD drive.

The Samsung Series 9 NP900X4C measures 35.5x23x1cm maximum and weights 1665grams. The screens diagonal imperial measurement is 15inches. The viewable screen is 34x19cm with a near invisible webcam mounted in the centre of the screen top. It is capable...

Samsung second generation Series 9 NP900X4D

Beautiful screen, Expansive 15” screen size, Still portable and light

Shallow keyboard, Keyboard backlighting quite dim, Fairly expensive

In many ways, the Series 9 is an improvement over its predecessor, which was already a superb notebook in its own right. Even though its keyboard wasn’t quite as good as the previous generation’s, this is balanced by the superlative screen, the extra...

Samsung Series 9 900X4C (15in) review

Samsung supersizes its Ultrabook to create a svelte 15in stunner, but the looks come at a high price

Inside, one of Intel’s latest Ivy Bridge processors takes centre stage. The Core i5-3317U operates at a nominal 1.7GHz and is capable of boosting up to 2.6GHz. Alongside, there’s 8GB of RAM and a 128GB Sandisk U100 SSD, and that combination achieved a...

Samsung Series 9 review (13-inch, mid-2012)

More Info Samsung unveils redesigned Series 9 laptops with 13- and 15-inch displays, starting at $1,399 Samsung Series 9 review (15-inch,

Beautiful, exceptionally thin design ; Best-in-class battery life ; Fast boot-up ; Bright, matte display

Trackpad could use more fine-tuning ; Pricey compared to similar Ultrabooks

With a smart design, fast boot-up and long battery life, the Series 9 is among the best Ultrabooks you can buy right now.

Remarkably thin and light for its size ; Long battery life, fast performance ; Bright, matte display

Shallow keyboard, so-so trackpad ; Narrow viewing angles ; Unimpressive audio for the money

The Series 9 dazzles with its performance and striking design, but a machine this pricey deserves a comfier keyboard and even nicer display.

Samsung Series 9 15-inch (NP900X4C-A02US)

Samsung's updated Series 9 ultrabook gives you multimedia power and battery life, but its high price and prefilled SSD may turn you off.

Equipped with solid-state drive. Long battery life.

Expensive. Limited free storage space. VGA and HDMI dongles not included. Ethernet dongle is proprietary.

Review: Samsung Series 9 NP900X4C-A01US (2012)

If ultrabooks had a 15-inch category, the 2012 edition of Samsung's Series 9 would be the leader of the pack.

Amazingly portable and powerful, with a screen to die for. Surprisingly sturdy, tough design. “Silent mode” kills fans

Keyboard backlighting too dim to be useful, even at highest brightness setting. Thin profile means very shallow key travel

Samsung Series 9 NP900X4B-A02 (15-inch) review: Samsung Series 9 NP900X4B-A02 (15-inch)

Samsung Series 9 NP900X4B-A02 (15-inch)

Beautiful, sleek design and a razor-thin all-metal body make the 15-inch ; the most stunning and portable larger-screen laptop we've seen; the keyboard and big, bright screen are great, too.

A lack of higher-end features, such as an optical drive, and the dongle-requiring Ethernet and HDMI ports mean that this larger Series 9 isn't all that much different under the hood from its tinier 13-inch sibling. Also, it only has 128GB of SSD...

The latest Samsung Series 9 goes extra-big, and the gamble pays off with the most portable and comfortable 15-incher you're likely to find. However, its high price and lack of higher-end features don't make it the best value.
