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...

Ultrabooks may have been the domain of the 11 and 13 inch form-factors up until now, but Samsung is trying its hand at something bigger, with an offering that increases the size to 15 inches and packs in the performance of a full-size, to boot. Samsu...

Samsung has taken an expensive legal hit from Apple over copying design elements in the iPhone. Yet with the Series 9, Samsung has created something a bit special. The entire Ultrabook concept took its inspiration from the Apple MacBook Air, of course. Bu...
All in all, the Series 9 is a very well made laptop, with many small but significant improvements made over a year. The question remains – do you want to throw approaching a grand at a 15in laptop when you can get one cheaper? When I posed that question...

Samsung’s 13in Series 9 Ultrabook, which we reviewed in its NP900X3B guise, is possibly the most attractive of the Ultrabook genre currently on the market, even if it is rather an expensive option. But the 13in format can be too small for some users, so a...

At a little over £900, the NP900X4C is still relatively expensive for an Ultrabook, when for example HP's Folio 13 can be had for a bit more than £700. But it's also slightly cheaper than the NP900X3B when we reviewed it. So although the looks of this b...

The trend for slim and light laptops shows no sign of abating, with Samsung now adding to its range with the 15in Series 9 900X4C. It shares the same wafer-thin design as its 13.3in cousin , but swells the screen size and crams in Intel's Ivy Bridge for g...

The Samsung Series 9 includes just one 15" model, the NP9004XC, which is the one we're reviewing here. It is currently for sale at around £1,200. There's also a 13" version, which comes in several different models with varying specs. For information ab...

Mediocre display, Adapters required for VGA, Ethernet, etc.
Despite overall good performance (video games notwithstanding) and high-end finishing, the atrocious quality of the display sets the Series 9 back all the way from five stars on the 13" to three stars on this 15". If you have to choose, we definitely r...

That great anti-glare display and crisp duralumin 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 a gr...
