PC Stats posted a review on the Samsung 9-Series NP900X4C-A02 15" Ultrabook



Samsung's 9-Series NP900X4C-A02 notebook is the latest in a new line of what are called "Ultrabook's", a fancy name bestowed upon sleek and slim laptops that elicit envy at first glance. Intel came up with the Ultrabook concept last year to help the PC world compete against the Apple juggernaut, so far it's yielding positive results. An "Ultrabook" isn't merely a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger take on a notebook, it's a niche laptop segment which aims to marry performance, long battery life, Intel hardware and really compact platforms into a package that appeals to design conscious users.

Design wise, Samsung have done well by their 9-Series Ultrabook; the system is wrapped in dark cobalt blue aluminum chassis that adopts many of the design elements of an Apple Macbook Air, yet posses the large screen size of a MacBook Pro (albeit with better hardware) and a sticker prices that won't cause heart failure. The Samsung 9-Series NP900X4C-A02 Ultrabook retails for around $1599 USD/CDN, as tested in this PCSTATS review. Samsung take a page out of the Apple playbook and pack the 9-Series notebook in a spiffy black presentation box, with all the over-designed packaging and individual pockets for each accessory you'd expect. Inside the box is a quick start manual, recovery DVDs, network dongle and AC power adaptor.
