Samsung NP900X3D-A01US Pro Reviews

A year ago most ultrabooks sold for around $1000 and up. Today you can find models priced as low as $600 or as high as $1500. The Samsung Series 9 sits somewhere in the middle — and the model I purchased offers pretty strong performance for the price. It doesn’t provide a no-compromise experience. The battery isn’t replaceable. The RAM and storage aren’t upgradeable. You need dongles to connect an external monitor or Ethernet cable. There’s no touchscreen. And it has a Sandy Bridge processor instead of a faster Ivy Bridge chip. But here’s why I paid $800 for this laptop: It has a 128GB solid state disk (with no hard drive) for speedy performance. It has a 1600 x 900 pixel display. It offers almost all-day battery life. And it’s small and light enough to take pretty much anywhere I would take a netbook.
