Both laptops are functionality super-thin and pack flat into bags, adding little bulk. The Series 9 feels and looks thicker, but these differences are small quibbles. While the MacBook Air measured 0.68 inch at its thickest, the front edge of the Air comes to a thinner point. This laptop is a bit thicker, though: by our measurements, about 0.64 inch at its thickest. At 2.9 pounds, it's nearly identical to the 13-inch MacBook Air. It's also extremely light: unlike the surprisingly dense iPad, the Series 9 actually feels lighter in the hand than you'd expect. The Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A has an instantly eye-catching look: sleek brushed-black metal (duralumin, a material used in aircraft construction), with gracefully curved edges around the back, give the thin laptop the appearance of a blade, or a cross-section of a wing with aerofoil. This is a luxury system, especially with $400-range 11.6-inch AMD Fusion laptops presenting pretty reasonable alternatives. The Series 9 is a better overall laptop than those-but if this laptop were $1,000, we'd really be far more bullish.Īs it is, $1,649 is way above standard laptop pricing landscape (at least it comes standard with a three-year warranty). We've seen high-end design-heavy Windows laptops before, though not for a while-the Dell Adamo and Adamo XPS come to mind.

That price is 15-inch MacBook Pro territory-lofty, indeed.

Amazingly, the $1,649 configuration is the low end for the Series 9-there's also a $1,699 version that adds Windows 7 Professional, which is the configuration we were sent for review. However, this laptop makes MacBook Air look like a bargain by comparison, and that's saying something: the 13-inch Air starts at just $1,299 for that same 128GB SSD drive (although with half the RAM). It starts fast and feels great to work on. Weighing 2.9 pounds and packing a 1.4 GHz second-gen Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD drive, it's got some of the best performance-per-pound that we've ever seen. At $1,649, the real question will be whether you're able to afford it.
