Review of Samsung Series 9 NP900X4C-A04US 15" - Intel Core i5-3317U Ultrabook

Customer Ratings:

Laptop arrived on time, it setup easily. Very light, looks super. I haven't tested battery life yet since I haven't been on the road much, but the one time I was out for a few hours and it was still going strong well over 50% of battery life left. I have no complaints at this point.

the quality is good, it is light and runs fast.

the 15 inch screen works great, and I like this ultrabook well.

Also, the standard 128gb ssd and 8gm ram is a plus, I can open any program with several seconds.

Light, fast with a minimalist and elegant look. However, the screen reminds me of a laptop I owned 10 years ago. The colors get washed out rapidly from the sides and it's almost impossible to see the screen from above the normal viewing angle.

Viewing the screen directly isn't much comforting either as the colors are far from vibrant and the fonts look pixelated.

PROS:

1. Cool to touch even after hours of usage

2. No audible fan noise.

3. Nice keyboard with a good layout.

4. Elegant and light for a 15"

Maybe I am used to 1080 displays but it's a pity this Samsung laptop could have been a very attractive machine if the engineers had put in a better display.

Honest reviews on Samsung Series 9 NP900X4C-A04US 15" - Intel Core i5-3317U Ultrabook

Everything that is there is great. Display is bright and crisp. Keyboard is the best I have ever used. SSD is faster than any memory has a right to be; the computer boots up in 20% the time o my last computer. I do love everything on the computer.

That said, I have no idea why Samsung did not include a Displayport output. The Series 9 is supposed to be a top of the line computer and they do not include the best video output. I read a great deal about the intel 4000 graphics card and then made an assumption that all of its capabilities would be available on a $1200 computer. If I had figured this out beforehand I would not have bough the Samsung.

If you want to drive multiple external displays this is not the computer for you.
