Samsung - Notebook 9 Pro - 15” Touch-Screen Laptop – Intel Core i7 – 16GB Memory – AMD Radeon 540 – 256GB Solid State Drive - Titan silver

what's there to say. fast sleek and does what it needs to do. I got this on a great deal promo price plus open box so alot of the features I'll never use but for someone who would like to do video editing this is a great laptop for that. I like that it has a Intel processor but with a radeon graphics card. only downside are the speakers there definitely on the softer side but that's fixed with a bluetooth speaker.

I like to pen and the fact that there's a slot for it. It boots up fast. I that it mirrors to the TV

OVERALL: Likely an 8.5/10 Battery: 6.5/10 Power: 6/10 Capability: 8/10 Touch / Stylus Capability: 9/10 Design: 9/10 Price for what you get: 10/10 I have had this computer for over a year now as an engineering undergraduate student. I would say that using this, its stylus, and OneNote (Windows 10 version - not 2016 version) has allowed me to be consistently not only be more organized with my assignments and notes (having them all in one place in OneNote) but also allows me to take way better notes. The handwriting is fairly similar to writing on paper - a feature for which one usually looks when looking at 2 in 1 laptops or touch oriented devices. The note taking ability is great. One can easily flip the computer and take notes, then flip back and type other things or look up information online. I tend to color coordinate my notes with easy switches of the pen color. Green for formulae, blue for side notes, black for math. A great bonus over handwriting with pencil. There is also a graph paper feature in OneNote which is great for diagrams and graphs. I would recommend a cheap tv for a second monitor and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to allow for more full capabilities when it is flipped to stylus mode. This is a great setup at my desk at home. HDMI to TV, wireless mouse and keyboard. Full computer capabilities while still being able to handwrite notes or homework on the laptop. The computing power is pretty strong. It can run SolidWorks 2017 and SolidWorks Simulation pretty well. I have done some finite element analysis and 3D CAD design on it. It runs best with nothing else RAM intensive open. Would not recommend for highly complicated assemblies. But, there are library computers on campus for this reason. I have also ran MATLAB on here with zero problems. The battery is ok. It lasts me through the day at full charge, but not much longer depending on the day. I would say 9/10 school days (taking over a max load of credit hours), I can get back home with 10-20% at least. But, a lot of universities have outlets at the desks anyway. The look, feel, quality, and design of the external hardware have all upheld greatly and makes the computer look very sleek and nice. It is about average for weight for its capabilities.

This review is for the Samsung Notebook Pro 9 with the 8th Gen Intel i7-8550u processor and AMD Radeon 540 graphics. This is a touchscreen display. OVERALL - I must say that so far, I am quite pleased with this laptop. I have only had it for a few days but I have been putting it through its paces to ensure it is worth keeping and will suite my needs. It is light for a 15" laptop (yes it is 15" and not 15.6") and I think it hits a sweet spot on size. Big enough to work on papers and briefs and not strain my eyes. Form factor small enough to fit in my smaller backpack. PERFORMANCE - I am coming from another popular brand 13" 2-in-1 which was great for portability and media consumption but didn't have enough processing power for some of my professional needs. This Samsung does have the power needed. I have been able to simultaneously work on graphics intensive PowerPoints, Word documents, PDFs, and have multiple Chrome tabs open. GRAPHICS / SCREEN - Radeon 540. You are not going to play AAA game titles on this, but if you like eSports, lower requirement Indie titles, or AAA games that are a few years older, you'll have a decent go at things. Media consumption is enjoyable. It is a 1080p screen that is quite bright. I usually prefer bright displays and this is decently bright at 75-80% in a lit room and 100% is just a torch. I will say that the included "Samsung Setting" software is a nice feature that provides the ability to change the color profile of the display and includes an HDR mode. Think twice before getting rid of this pre-installed software. BATTERY - Okay, the power meter is the one quirky thing I haven't figured out yet. When first unplugged, the battery will show only 3-4 hours of remaining time. After 10-20 minutes or so when running on battery the laptop will adjust the time and, depending on brightness and running programs, will reflect anywhere from 6 to upwards of 10 hours or remaining battery. I've used it for hours on battery and have gotten over 7 hours of use time.

I've had this laptop for 3 weeks now and I'm giving it 5 stars for a number of good reasons. Pros: -The 2-1 on this laptop is superb. I owned a Surface Pro 4 and used the pen every day for note taking and I love the Samsung's version of that 10 fold. The stylus it comes with is slightly small but its convenient to have a place holder for when yours done. -The screen very well to the stylus and feels very natural to writing and drawing, even better than my previous Surface Pro. I love taking notes in OneNote with this thing! -This laptop is fast, I had a lot of issues with the speed on the Surface pro's i5 processor but this i7 is TONS faster. Turns on in seconds, installs things fast, and has yet to blue screen on me or give me any issues when multitasking (surface did a number of times) -The keyboard feels nice, I like how it lights up too. -I like the port selection, especially the HDMI output. -I use this mostly inside, so I haven't had any issues with the screen brightness. The "Out door" mode does make it alot brighter -I think my ULTIME enjoyment with this laptop is the battery life. I can get 8-10 hours EASY with just surfing the web, using OneNote, Word, etc. The battery on my surface SUCKED, had to carry my chagrer every where, so its so nice not having to anymore. - This this is light (in weight) for the power it has. I haven't games with it but I've watched reviews were people said the Radeon card can handle some light gaming. I'll try someday I'm sure. - It doesn't come with a ton of unnecessary programs on it that needs to be uninstalled. Cons: -Speakers truly are my only con, and they are not that great, but luckaly I use headphones half the time anyhow I would recommend this laptop to anyone who is looking for fast reliable machine that doesn't do heavy gaming or NEED theater sound out of the speakers.

I got this computer to replace my Lenovo Y50 bought like 3 yrs ago. This laptop is light and size efficient, the weight about 2/3 of my previous one and it has 15" screen while having smaller size comparing to my previous 13" laptop. This one is also lighter and almost same size as the Inspiron 13" version. The built-in pencil is amazing and feels much better than the stylus pen. The battery is average, given the fact that the laptop is very light, it's natural to have a short battery life, but I believe the 8th i7 makes it better since it's more power efficient. By the way, the 8th i7 also makes this laptop superfast, it takes about 5 second to boost up, and maybe 1 second to recognize your face and log in to your account The graphics card is just slightly better than the intel integrated one. I play hearthstone sometime (the touch screen is perfect) and you could see that the Radeon card is making the board looks fresh and colorful. But it is not a high performance card, so don't expect it could run best quality DOTA2 or Overwatch. The sound card is not the best, actually the first time I got my laptop, I noticed that everytime I left the computer on for more than 3 to 4 hours, the speakers would give me some squeezing noise, and this could only be cured by disable and re-enable the speaker. Then I toke the laptop to Bestbuy and got another one. The new one works perfect and that sound issue has not been observed.

The title says it all. This thing has everything you could want. Plus it's only 3.79lbs! Build is Samsung-excellent, and the screen--oh my the screen! I compared it directly to the HP Spectre x360 with 4K screen and the Lenovo Yoga 720 with 4K screen, and I'll glady give up a few pixels for the color and brightness of this Samsung beauty. If you can get a discount, jump on it. Even if you can't, it will NOT disappoint. I'm extremely picky with my computers, used to be a pc tech, and this thing might very well be the best notebook you can buy, all things considered. Honestly, price wasn't much of a consideration for me this time around, and I still went with this thing. The only other one I seriously considered was the surface book 2, but the screen wobbled too much and it's noticeably heavier. Plus I love having the S-Pen stored right inside the laptop itself.

I have owned the Samsung notebook 9 Pro for a little over two years now this laptop is well built. It offers a Windows Hello camera, and a stylus that uses welcomes technology to write on the screen. Am very happy with the purchase that I made when comparing it to a similar MacBook. The main reason why a purchases laptop was because of the touchscreen and stylus as well as the amount of RAM and a dedicated GPU. Now saying this laptop may be dated, and there may be other options in the present day that may be a better value. I'm writing this review because I just recently had a battery failure on the laptop now I'm not exactly too sure if two years for a laptop's battery is a norm. Other laptops that I've owned the battery has well over lasted more than two years. If Best Buy offers an extended warranty past two years it may be a benefit towards purchasing it. Was able to purchase the battery and it's fairly easy to install it as well as upgrade the computer's storage it seems as though during the time of me writing this review that M.2 nano's SSD storage is decently priced where you can get a terabyte of storage under $200. Reasons that I would recommend buying this laptop > well-constructed materials aluminum housing > touchscreen stylus to write on the screen dedicated GPU/hybrid RAM reasons you may want to look at other computers before considering this purchase this laptop is becoming outdated for 2019. > battery life is under 10 hours in conclusion, if you can get this laptop at a sale price I don't see you not being unhappy with it. I would consider buying an extended warranty if the option is there and offers more than two years of an extended warranty.
