REVIEW: Samsung Series 9 Laptop [Part 2]

http://www.laptopthoughts.com

This is part two of a two-part review video of the Samsung Series 9 laptop (900X3A-A02CA). This is a thin and light laptop that goes head to head with the Macbook Air, though it costs a pretty penny doing so.

Where to buy:

(this is a lesser configuration)

It features an Intel Core i5 2537M CPU at 1.4 Ghz (3 MB cache), 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, a 256 GB SSD, and an Intel GMA HD GPU. The 13.3 inch screen is matte and 1366 x 768 in resolution. There are two 3 watt speakers and SRS 3D sound. The webcam is 1.3 megapixels, and there's a single microphone under the screen.

In addition to 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, there's a dongle that, when attached to the side, adds Gigabit Ethernet. Video output is solely mini HDMI (no adaptor is included in the box), and in addition to microphone/headphone jack, there one USB 3.0 port and one USB 2.0 port (one is an always-on charging port).

Samsung made the interesting - and wrong in my opinion - decision to go with a microSD card slot rather than a full-sized SD card slot.

The laptop has an internal, non-removable 6 cell (40 wHR) battery. The laptop is 2.88 pounds (1.31 kg) and measures 12.9" wide, 8.9" deep, and between 0.62" and 0.64" thick from front to back.

@stopmotionnolan I didn't see any WiFi issues in my three weeks with the product.

[ThoughtsMedia]

@lovehanduk I think I'm jealous because I haven't ordered mine yet. ;-) I'm actually waiting for the Asus UX31 to come out and will decide then which one I want.

Hey ToughtsMedia, Ive been lokking AT A LOT of your videos lately . I really want to be your friend on youtube beacause i do the same kinda thing do unboxings and reviews. Look at my latest video on the Belkin Ipod touch Pluh in chager. . I have sent a request to you. Can you do a review on The Samsung Galacxy Tablet if you have it or if your planning on buying o buy it because it is very fast and has great apps or you could get the Ipad 2 also a great tablet.

[ThoughtsMedia]

@Theipodmaster45 I don't have any plans to review the Samsung Galaxy Tab. I'm sure you can find lots of reviews of this online. :-)

great review!

currently using a sony vaio VPCEB26FX. 15.5" intel core i5, 4gb ram, etc

I have to take it to school everyday, so portability could be a bit better. I also find a screen a little too big. I've had it for a few months now but for a future laptop or a 2nd laptop, I need advice. Macbook Pro/Air vs Samsung Series 9 vs HP Envy 14 Beats (I am a teenager so beats audio, design really matters) thanks to anyone who can help me out!

very good review, just ordered mine a open box version i5/4gb ram/128g, 980 including shipping i think this might just be the best purchase i've made all year

@ThoughtsMedia I'll go for Samsung. Reason being Asus always has a flimsy charge connecter which snaps of like the Asus 1215N :\ + Samsung looks better and its more reliable xD! Yes samsung fanboy ftw :L

[lovehanduk]

@ThoughtsMedia Asus UX31 was the only hesitation for me! but if i'm buying it.. i'll get it for the next generation of intel processors comming out Q1-2 2012. and i just cant wait. i need this the most right now because of crazy school work. i think it was a good deal. btw, i went through like all the videos for unboxing and reviewing this product. i like yours the best BY FAR! keep it up!
