Key Features
Duralumin, the New Definition of Lightweight
The Series 9 laptop features the dramatic duralumin enclosure complete with arching curves and remarkable durability. Typically found in advanced aircrafts and offers construction quality, duralumin is twice the strength of aluminum, despite being light in weight--and helps keep the Series 9 laptop under 3 pounds.See Vivid Content, Wherever You Go
If you live for the latest HD movies and games, then Samsung's SuperBright screen, with 400nit brightness, will transform your mobile experience. You can enjoy HD movies, games and other favorite media even when viewing in direct sunlight with no annoying reflections.Powerful Processing
The 13.3-inch Series 9 has a state-of-the-art Intel Core i5 processor so you get optimized power management when you are playing the latest 3D games, editing and compressing large-size photos or HD video, or multi-tasking. It has Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 which accelerates your PC's performance by intuitively allocating CPU processing power when you need it the most.128 GB Solid State Drive
A 128 GB solid state drive (SSD) provides plenty of storage, lower power consumption and improved performance with less noise and heat output. The chance of losing data is also decreased due to the SDD having no moving parts. And it boots up 60 percent faster than a hard disk drive (HDD). You'll get less power usage, faster data access and higher reliability.Power Back up in 3 Seconds with Fast Start
You no longer have to shut down your Samsung computer, just close its lid and it goes into a special powerless sleep mode. When you open the lid your computer comes back to life in 3 seconds and you are exactly at the same place as when you shut the lid. Fast Start saves your data and system configurations to your hard drive and PC memory. So, when you power it back on it is just like you left it.Longer Battery Life and Life Span
The Series 9 delivers mobility and freedom with its power efficient performance and extensive battery life of up to 7 hours. Its advanced Lithium-Polymer battery and Samsung's innovation PowerPlus charging technology make the battery lifespan last up to three times longer than the typical notebook battery so you can keep going, without worrying how much battery life is left.Intuitive Navigation
Samsung's new multi-touch clickpad is stylish, user-friendly and convenient. It features a glass coating and image sensor, which means no more cursors disappearing or jumping around on the screen. This intelligent multi-touch gesture pad, which is located in the center of the palm rest, features 21 types of gesture support such as pinch, swipe, and rotate, and also has advanced 3D image sensing for intuitive navigation.

WowBy Andrew B.
I bought this laptop on the 30th not from Beach Camera, but from a nearby Micro Center (though I have purchased something from Beach Camera and was pleased with the experience). First time I saw her, I said 'I do' (not to be corny lol).
Let me say this: there's a reason why the Samsung 9 Series was so popular at CES 2011.
I'm going to start with the looks of this laptop (shocking beginning for this brief review, wouldn't you say?). The first thing I said to my self after opening the box was, "WOW! This is truly a work of art." It definitely is a work of art, even the box was stunning. The metal look, the silver trim on the sides, and the thinness creates an absolutely stunning looking laptop. To top it off, I like how the Samsung logo isn't 'in your face.' I feel like so many companies now constantly try to put their logo all over the laptop - Samsung has it tucked to the side for pleasant viewing. The ports are also in the 'looks'/hardware category for me. The ports are tucked into secret compartments on both sides of the laptop. For those afraid those may become loose over time, it doesn't seem that way to me - they are very sturdy. The duraluminum body is magnificent - it is sturdy and will be able to withstand a lot of use. The battery life is also very nice - lasts a looong time, especially for this category of laptop.
As for the inside of the laptop, the fantastic look/hardware factors continue. The screen is beautiful, and its matte screen is just what I was looking for. The webcam performs just as you would expect. It's a webcam. The keys seem solid and feel like they will last quite some time. I like how difficult it would be to accidentally remove a key while using it (unlike my previous Dell Inspiron 1525 where I was always weary about that happening). When pushing on the plastic (yes, plastic) between the keys, there seems to be very little movement, demonstrating the strength of the keyboard. As for typing, everything feels great - little to no learning curve to type like a pro again!
Now comes the touchpad. First few uses were fantastic. It really feels natural using it. Moving two of your fingers up/down scrolls through a webpage (however, it seems not as smooth as on a Mac, sorry to say), four fingers DOWN minimizes everything ("very nice!", using a Borat voice), and four fingers UP will put you into aero - windows' eye-candy for switching between open applications (though I'll just stick with ALT+TAB). Also, the touchpad is large, which is very nice. Imagine a normal touchpad with left and right buttons, but not separated from each other, and made of very good quality = very natural feeling while using it (hope this was clear enough...); left click is bottom left, right click is bottom right, as usual. After the first few uses, I started running into problems, but this problem hasn't occurred for awhile (see my minor gripes at the end of this review).
Overall, though, I was pleasantly surprised with the touchpad's performance.
This baby boots really fast thanks to its SSD. I experience little lag while computing (i.e. browsing, office, and video viewing). Eventually, I'll probably uninstall most of the bloatware Samsung supplied. Also, I'll probably dualboot Linux soon, as I have been using that for a few years and am used to it (I can only imagine the boot speed after installation O.o).
Here are some of my minor gripes (I didn't think the sum of these deserved a negation of a star): touchpad has been unresponsive a few times for like 5 minutes each time (I reinstalled the touchpad driver...hasn't happened since, though I don't know if this was because of the driver I installed - may have just needed a little more use to function properly), attracts fingerprints, no media keys (not a big deal), and no light on the outside showing that it is charging (also not a big deal).
Not a very organized review, so I'm sorry lol. But for those looking for something to read about it, I hope I supplied a decent enough review.

Great LaptopBy Ryan Ellis
I was on the market for a very light, thin laptop with a long battery life. I found this on a whim a few days ago, knowing nothing about the hype from CES, etc.
I'd say overall I'm very happy with the computer. Hardware wise, it's basically a Macbook Air but for Windows. That's a good thing, it has a great, big touchpad with excellent multi-touch, and the keyboard is really fantastic. It's a no frills laptop, it's not full of silly media pads and junk like that.
I was a little disappoined with the lack of aluminum, it's sold as an aluminum laptop but the ENTIRE bottom is plastic, the front face around the screen is plastic, and the keyboard area is all plastic. The outside of the lid is all aluminum and most of the top/keyboard area is aluminum, basically where your palms sit is all aluminum. It's not a deal breaker, but still worth mentioning.
There is a refreshing lack of bloatware as well, which was nice. As in, other than Norton, Samsung just has a few very low resource utilities (driver update, function keys) and that's it.
The SSD comes with 69GB free, yes, you read that right! I did find a simple way to get rid of the useless recovery partition (back it up) and recover another 20gb. There are also other obvious ways to increase space, you can purchase 32gb Micro SD cards for a mere $40, so if you want to carry some movies around with you, even just a couple cards would have quite a bit of entertainment. I personally have a 32GB MicroSD card that just stays in the laptop and a small external hard drive that I rarely use, but it's there. Overall the disk space hasn't been an issue.
The laptop is VERY light, you can pick it up with 2 fingers with almost no effort. Perfect!
Speedwise, I first noted how fast the boot was when I rebooted after removing Norton, FAST, I've never seen such a fast boot, a few seconds maybe? Closing the lid puts the computer in a zero-power mode, and when opening the lid it comes right back instantly. It's not clunky, and it works really well, everytime. I do quite a bit of multitasking including Adobe CS5 and this has handled it quite nicely.
The battery lasts a long time, I'm not timing it, but I'll find myself using it for several hours on end without charging and still having plenty of battery. It would surely make it through a trip from Florida to California, nice!
I purchased a small USB powered external DVD burner and a small external USB hard drive just to have the extra abilities when I need them - which is rare.
Compared to a Macbook Air, which I also considered (running OSX and Windows) - the price is pretty good. Keep in mind that if you add the 2 additional years of warranty on an Air and the extra 2gb of RAM, the Air actually costs more than the Series 9. The Samsung comes standard with 3 years of warranty and 4gb of memory, though I'll upgrade mine to 8gb sooner than later.
Is this laptop expensive? Yes. But it's for people who can afford it. If you are shopping for price/power, then this isn't for you. If you want a super thin and light laptop with adequate performance and long battery life, then it's fantastic.
Overall 5 stars, it's met all my needs with flying colors. It's sturdy, works great, and is just a great small laptop that I use several hours a day with zero stability issues.

Amazing Samsung PC - No better PC available!By Dana K. Nyyssela
This Samsung PC is Super-Cool. So Light yet robust, couldn't find a better PC anywhere, by anyone! Samsung is the #1 Electronics brand WW and they have out-done every other PC manufacturer with this 900X Laptop! Amazing State of art technology, the Duralumin chassis is 2x stronger than aluminum (same material used to build airplanes!)
World's Slimmest 13" AND up to 7 Hours of Battery Life - Plus Samsung is including 3 year warranty. Can't beat this baby!
