This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I was looking for a ultrabook (without touchscreen) to replace my work computer, which was a HP DM4. I want something light but powerful so I can carry around. I want a PC that's is similar to MacBook Air. One of the most important feature is a backlit keyboard as I work in darker environment often. The size and weight for the Series 9 is amazing. It's very thin and very light. just like the Macbook Air. It comes with an i7 chip, and SSD so performance is good. The graphics is your basic Intel 4xxx so it's good for business application, and that's about it. My only grips is not so much the connectivity (uses micro HDMI and proprietary (think expensive and not included) ethernet connections. Have a USB DVD drive handy as well. However, you can't really upgrade the memory (it's soldered on the board) and uses mSSD so you can't just buy any SSD and replace it. 128 GB is not plentiful and with SSD prices dropping like a rock, I could use bigger storage space. The OS already takes up so much space these days. Overall, it's a great laptop, sleek and less flashy than the ASUS (also looked at that). I have a Toshiba Protege and this one feels and weight much less (3.2 lb w/ DVD drive vs 2.6 lb).

QuestionAdditional specsWhat is the maximum ram? How's the battery life? Can I swap the ssd with a 256 gb that I have?
Asked 12 years ago by Chip.
- Answer The memory is maxed out at 4 GBs. The battery life should be around 3 hours if you're not running draining programs. The SSD should be interchangable if it's the same size as the one installed.

  Answer this question
Questionhow long does that battery last? Is it 9 hours as advertised?
Asked 12 years ago by Rebecca.
- Answer Rebecca, We don't advertise a battery length, since it can vary based on processor usage, power settings and number of running programs. It does have a 4-cell lithium-polymer battery, but user settings will often lengthen the life of a battery between charges. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. Samsung
