Samsung Ativ Book 9 Lite

 

Samsung creates an almost perfect budget laptop

Stylish design and solid build ; Comfortable keyboard ; Decent battery life ; Excellent value

Very average screen ; Slightly sluggish processor

None of this makes the Samsung Ativ Book 9 Lite impossible to use, but films and photos lack the punch they do on pricier laptops. But it's the reflections that irk most, which makes opting for non-touchscreen version the best bet in our book. Not only...

Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite review

 

Samsung gives its coveted Series 9 a budget makeover

Price ; Decent trackpad ; Spacious keyboard ; Good battery life ; Portable

Poor screen ; Plasticky build ; Rebranded processor ; Below entry-level speeds ; Fiddly connectivity

This is a budget laptop masking as an ultrabook, bringing the looks but lacking the oomph and features found aplenty in its competitors.

Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite review

 

Windows 8 is beginning to embed itself into the public knowledge and we're getting more and more used to the concept of touchscreen laptops. And that's the exact where the affordable, sub-£500 Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite fits in. The first ATIV model that...

Decent trackpad, responsive island keyboard, thin and of fair weight for size, affordable, decent battery life, we like the way it looks

Plasticky build, screen ought to be higher resolution, screen reflections, AMD processor limitations

The first ATIV model that we've seen for review breathes fresh life into the Samsung laptop range. The Book 9 Lite is a good looking, albeit fairly plasticky, 13.3-inch offering that's affordable and just as on the money when it comes to all those...

Samsung Ativ Book 9 Lite review: 'Sleek' and 'budget' hard to mix

 

Swapping a plastic design and AMD processor into a laptop aspiring to budget greatness doesn't work in this case. The Book 9 Lite is functional, but you can do better.

The ; has a touch screen, feels reasonably sleek, and handles everyday tasks reasonably well.

A plastic design, underwhelming display and battery life, and underpowered AMD processing.

Samsung’s latest budget spin on a Windows touch-screen, AMD-powered, ultrabook-esque laptop has some flair, but the corners it cuts aren't worth the money saved.

Samsung Ativ Book 9 Lite review

 

The Samsung Ativ Book 9 Lite has a good solid-state drive, attractive slimline design and impressive battery life. Here's our Samsung Ativ Book 9 Lite review

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...

Samsung Ativ Book 9 Lite Notebook Review

 

Ultrabook-type design, Touch-screen, >6 hours of battery life, Lightweight build, Good price for a basic system for web-browsing

Slow A4/A6 CPU makes this system only suitable of light use, Touch-screen can feel a bit unresponsive

Since their first release on to the market, Intel’s Ultrabooks and their counterparts that have AMD processors inside have paved a whole new pathway into our connected and mobile lives. Whilst a number of users are still choosing to have a single...

Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite

 

Responsive touchscreen, Thin and lightweight, Fast SSD, Good on-board audio, Very Quiet

Weak CPU and graphics, Narrow viewing angles, Poor display quality

There is certainly a lot of competition in the 13-14” laptop market, especially with those offering touch screens, and because of that it’s important that a device can stand out from the crowd or offer something different to its competitors. With the...

REVIEW: Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite

 

The ATIV Book 9 Lite is a re-worked Series 9 ultraportable laptop from Samsung. Available in black or white and designed for mobile users on a budget, the system retains many of the desirable features as the ATIV Book 9 Plus , such as the same premium...

Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite Is Your Galaxy Phone's Best Friend

 

The Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite has a feature called SideSync that lets you control your Galaxy phone via the laptop. Although SideSync is innovative, it doesn't justify the high price for the ATIV Lite, $830.

If you have a Galaxy phone, you'll love how Samsung's ATIV Book 9 Lite seamlessly communicates with it, but at the end of the day its specs don't justify the high price.
