Fast Start Technology saves your data and system configurations to your hard drive and PC memory, so in an instant you can power back on right where you left off.

Connectivity without Compromise

The power of networking is important, but with the new Series 9 it's all about connections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung Series 9 2nd Gen Owns the Stupor Thin Category, April 1, 2012
This review is from: Samsung Series 9 NP900X3B-A01US 13.3-Inch Laptop (Titan Silver) (Personal Computers)
The Samsung Series 9 2nd Gen (SS9) is a beautifully crafted piece of machinery. This system is presented gorgeously straight right out of the box in its packaging and presentation. So far, I have no regrets on my purchase although it is quite a pricey system. Considering many people are familiar with the Macbook Air 13.3" (MBA), I will frequently compare the SS9 for the rest of the review to it. Also, I did not purchase this system through Amazon but through a local Comp USA who was selling the system at $1299.00.

Display
The display is 400 nits of brightness with a matte finish. It can easily be used in any environment whether it be dark in a room or outside on a patio in near direct sunlight. The MBA has a reflective screen with an anti-glare finish that still offers glare. The SS9 also comes with a higher resolution screen at 1600 X 900 compared to the MBA's 1440 X 900. Honestly, higher resolution isn't always better because it becomes more difficult to read text at... Read more

This review is from: Samsung Series 9 NP900X3B-A01US 13.3-Inch Laptop (Titan Silver) (Personal Computers)
I love the Samsung Series 9 2012. I upgrade about one laptop a year (out of boredom, not necessity), and this has been one of my favorites. I had the previous 2011 model too. The 2012 is built solid and sexy. It is incredible thin, a smaller footprint then the Macbook Air even. What I love the most is probably the PLS screen... it is matted, great colors and viewing angels, high resolution, and has a tiny bezel - you probably won't find a better screen then this. Images and videos come alive. The latest Samsung SSD inside is incredibly fast. The touchpad works very well for me, one of the best on a PC. The keyboard is a bit shallow, but after some time, I have gotten used to it. Ultraportable laptops aren't for everyone, but if you are looking for one, I would recommend this.

This review is from: Samsung Series 9 NP900X3B-A01US 13.3-Inch Laptop (Titan Silver) (Personal Computers)
This is the coolest fastest lightest machine out there. I see mac users being jealous of this gorgeous design. But what is the best for me is the speed with which it starts up. No more ten minute boot times! it is like an ipad- right back there on the internet when you wake it from its slumber- but so much more functional for work. The touchpad scroll feature is also nice once you learn to use it. And it is easy to blow stuff up with the elan multitouch- which is good because the default font is pretty tiny- though quite sharp. The external bluetooth mouse works great. The sound is okay- though not brilliant- but fine for listening to while working.
All in all, well worth the $1400. So,so much better than my Thinkpad!
