Samsung Series 9 NP900X3D review

The Windows Ultrabook to beat?

128GB SSD ; Good performance ; Impressive design ; Thin and light ; Good image quality

Older Core i5 CPU ; Screen resolution could be better ; More powerful and cheaper rivals

Samsung Series 9 900X3B review

The new Samsung Series 9 900X3B laptop is a revamp of the existing model. We stopped by to give it a test drive at CES 2012

Super thin ; Super stylish ; Super screen

Poor battery ; Fiddly track pad ; Weak graphics

This is a beautiful computer, a luxury option and a suitable alternative to a MacBook Air. Of course it's expensive, good things are.

Samsung Series 9 review

Samsung has chosen not to brand its super-thin, quick-to-boot and attractive laptop as an Ultrabook, so why do we love it anyway?

Great looks ; Featherweight ; Excellent screen ; Fast resume from slee ; SSD

Mediocre battery life ; Fiddly trackad ; Poor grahics ; Pricey

The Samsung Series 9 900X3B is one of the best looking Windows laptops we've ever seen, and one of the most covetable, too.

Samsung Series 9 Review: Hands-on

Samsung have tarted up their exceptional Series 9 ultrabook, we stopped by to give it a test drive at CES 2012.

This is a beautiful computer, a luxury option and a suitable alternative to a MacBook Air. Of course it's expensive, good things are.

Samsung 9 Series notebook (900X3A) review

The Samsung 9 Series notebook (900X3A) is beautiful on the outside and smart on the inside. With its super-responsive screen and 4GB of ram, it's the ideal laptop for any technophobe

Sandy bridge tech ; Slender and gorgeous body ; Beautiful screen to finish

Touchpads ; 128GB of storage is stingy

Samsung Series 9 900X3A review

Before you get your hands on the Samsung Series 9 you know it's going to be thin and light, but it's only when you lift it out of the box you realise just how thin and how light it really is and how sleek it feels.

Beautiful, practical and powerful enough to be worth the investment, screen and battery life superb, great backlit keyboard

Pricey, touch pad is finicky, replaceable battery would have been nice

The Series 9 gives the MacBook Air real competition, at a really high price. You'll want it, but you may not be able to afford it

Samsung Series 9 review

The new Samsung Series 9 may be on the pricey side, but it draws excellent performance from the latest Intel chip inside the gorgeous, slim body, making it perfect for intense work on the go.

Luscious design ; Excellent performance ; Great build quality ; Bright and bold screen ; Good trackpad

Pricey ; Keyboard makes it a little too easy to make mistakes

The new Samsung Series 9 keeps the same elegant styling and strong build quality of the previous generation and matches it with the latest Intel processor for some excellent power. It might not be the cheapest laptop on the market, but if you're after...

Samsung Series 9 Ivy Bridge laptop review

Samsung Series 9 review: A superb 13.3in Ivy Bridge ultrabook with excellent build quality and a stunning display.

Samsung's Series 9 is a stunning laptop that's superbly built, has an excellent screen and which feels good to use. It's the thinnest notebook on the market and among the lightest. Even so, it runs an Intel Ivy Bridge CPU that supplies more than decent...

Samsung Series 9 review

The original Series 9 ultra-portable was the first laptop we'd reviewed which adhered to Intel's Ultrabook specification, even though Samsung wasn't allowed to officially label it as such. We thought it was an exciting sign of things to come, but a few...

The best Windows Ultrabook there is, and an Ultimate award winner

Samsung Series 9 900X3B

Samsung's sleekest lightweight laptop yet

Light; attractive; bright, high resolution screen

Keyboard won't suit everyone; tightly-spaced ports; expensive

The pricy Samsung Series 9 900X3B isn't perfect, but it's currently the best Windows alternative to the Apple Macbook Air thanks to its superb build quality, good screen and reasonably long battery life
