Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I was looking for a device that would allow me to easily and successfully edit photos (I am an amateur photographer and I take thousands of photos) that was larger and more powerful than my old Surface Pro but smaller and more lightweight than my even older Toshiba laptop. So far, this is exactly what I need. I don't use it for gaming or video streaming but it is powerful enough for what I need it to do (I'm also using it to type this review haha!). This was my first time purchasing a Samsung product and I'm looking forward to learning about all of the features that this device offers. I'm confident that this will be a worthy investment.

A very good 15 inch convertible
A very good 15 inch convertible
Posted .Pros mentioned:Design, Display, PenCons mentioned:Gaming, Noise, Operating systemI would recommend this to a friendPros +Flexible as a 2-in-1 and very portable +Included S-Pen works well and stores in the case +Comfortable keyboard and accurate touchpad +Has a USB-C port that supports charging +Excellent build quality Cons -Battery life is only average -Some bloatware, especially Samsung apps -Speakers could have more bass Summary This is a very good 2-in-1 from Samsung. It doesn't have any noticeable weak spots. It has a good mix of ports that includes USB-C, is light, and very well constructed. The pricing is on par as well when compared to others with similar build quality. This device is recommended for daily use, business travelers that want an ultrabook but with a larger screen, and students. Background I picked up the Samsung Notebook 9 Pro 15 with Intel 8th Gen CPU from my local Best Buy. I wanted a travel friendly Windows 2-in-1 with a good screen, keyboard, touchpad, USB-C compatibility, and battery life. My daily driver to this point has been a 2017 MacBook Pro 15 with Touch Bar and I have been testing out many recent Windows laptops including the 2017 models of the Dell XPS 13 (regular and 2-in-1), 2017 ThinkPad X1 Carbon, 2017 Surface Pro, 2017 Galaxy Book, 2017 Spectre x360 13, and others. My thoughts are based on being a frequent business traveler that spends a lot of time in Microsoft Office & Office 365 and the web. I also play some light games like World of Warcraft and League of Legends. Design I really like the design. It's a professional and clean silver aluminum body with a dark interior that makes the key lettering pop. The hinges are sturdy and fairly firm to minimize screen wobble. Fingerprints tend to show up on the inside in the keyboard deck area, but are easy to wipe clean. The rounded edges of the body make it easy to carry and nothing digs into your hands. It weighs under 4 pounds, is thin, and very easy to carry around or toss into a bag. The fit and finish is excellent. Display The laptop comes with a 15-inch touchscreen at 1080p resolution. It looks good and I think is still an adequate resolution for this screen size. A higher resolution would draw more power and I don't think the tradeoff is worth it for a mobile device. Plus, there is less of a chance of running into Windows text scaling issues. While it doesn't have the thinnest bezels, they are still quite slim and look good. Light bleed is a little more noticeable on this model versus the 13.3 inch model I also own. Text and video are both clear and HDR is supported. The panel is pleasing to look at and is plenty sharp for standard use. Input devices The 3-stage backlit keyboard has a good amount of travel, is relatively quiet, and is easy to type on. My biggest gripe with it is the fact that functions like volume and screen brightness are not the default action for the function key row. I checked the BIOS and there doesn't seem to be a way to enable these by default. The touchpad glides well and makes a satisfying click. It supports gestures and tracks accurately. The device includes the S Pen that slides into the case which is very convenient so you always have it with you and you don't have to worry about figuring out how to attach or secure it to the device like other similar devices. The S Pen does not require batteries and while thin, provides a good mark-up experience. Having used the Apple Pencil and new 2017 Surface Pen, I find it works just as well as those two for casual use. Ports 2 USB 3.0 1 HDMI 1 DC Power (1.5mm) 1 USB-C that supports charging and display port - Note - I use the Apple USB-C to HDMI adapter to charge the device and plug it into my monitor with one cable. 1 Headphone/Mic combo port 1 micro SD card Audio There are two downward firing speakers on the bottom of the case that get loud enough. The audio is clear, but there is a distinct lack of bass that is common in most laptops. They are fine most casual use, but not as good as the newer MacBook Pro models which have amazing audio. Performance A quad core i7-8500 powers the device and I have not run into any issues with daily tasks. It scored a 4883 on the single core and 14691 on the multi-core Geekbench 4 tests, which is on par with the 2017 MacBook Pro 15's i7-7700HQ processor. There are switchable integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics which are ok for light games, but you are going to have to turn details way down to achieve a decent frame rate. It also has a 2GB Radeon 540 dedicated graphics chip that helps run a bit better (about 50% more powerful than the integrated Intel chip) and both have no trouble driving my Dell 34 inch ultrawide monitor. The included 16GB of DDR4 RAM and SATA 3 256GB SSD are not upgradeable. Wireless performance is good and uses the Intel 8265 card. Bluetooth 4.1 works as expected. Battery Life Battery life is just ok. It has a decent sized 54Wh battery and gets about 6-8 hours of casual use with battery saver on. It's not quite as strong as competitors in the early stages of ownership, so I may need to dig into the power plan settings to see if I can make some tweaks. Since the device can charge over USB-C, a portable power bank is an option to help augment the battery. It is worth noting that the 54Wh battery is a bit on the small side when compared to other 15 inch machines, but it also does not have to drive a 4k screen. Webcam The front facing 720p webcam can best be describes as serviceable. It's fine for web conferences, but it's not going to win any awards. Windows Hello facial recognition is supported and works very well. Heat & Fans The device gets warm towards the middle back when under load, but the keyboard and touchpad are still comfortable to type on. If you are doing some heavy processing, it will get warm on your lap. The fans are not audible doing normal tasks, but do ramp up if playing a game or other processor intensive tasks. I was not able to detect any coil whine (the bane of every Dell laptop I have used). OS/Bloatware The device ships with Windows 10 Home and the Creator Update. There is quite a bit of bloatware installed including McAfee, Samsung Apps, and various Windows store games. The first thing I did was clear all of that stuff off. I would much rather have the Microsoft Signature edition install that you typically only get from the Microsoft Store and other vendors like Lenovo, but a little time doing app housekeeping or a fresh install resolves this. Samsung includes an app for driver updates, but it can also pull from the standard Windows 10 update process. For whatever reason, this newer Samsung Update app is not as good as previous versions as I constantly have to remind it what model of Samsung laptop I have. It also doesn't seem to indicate very well what drivers need updates versus what is already updated. I'd much rather they go back to the old version which was simpler to use and worked very well.

Given her wants and needs re: replacement, I looked and read and read and looked at many reviews from many sources. I opted to purchase via Best Buy bc of the terrific customer service. And, there you go. A home run. My daughter loooves her new laptop. She reports being able to do so many cool things for presentations needed for school. (She is in a Master's program). Happy Mom

Great laptop only flaw is battery life
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendBefore I bought this laptop I used macbook. It was hard for me to turn back to windows. My first option was buying Samsung since I used in the past and I had great experience. This laptop's features are amazing. I have been using for 3 months and I haven't experience any problem at all. My only complain is battery life. This laptops battery life longs average 5 hours with lite using internet, word. etc. For a laptop with such features i7 8th generation, ssd, and 16 gb ram, battery life should be 10 hours+. Additionally, they must improve their usb-c charging on this laptop. For these reasons, I give 4 star.

Everything I Expected
Everything I Expected
Posted .Pros mentioned:Design, Ease of use, PenCons mentioned:HeatI would recommend this to a friendFirst, my computer arrived with lightening speed! Upon opening the box, everything was straight forward and easy to understand. Set up was quick. Updates were quick. I LOVE the touch feature and stylus! For those who cannot afford a drawing tablet, the Windows Ink feature is great! The pen pressure sensitivity and basic brushes are easy to use, and look very natural, like the real thing. Pencil does look like pencil etc. I'm very glad I went with the 16 gig RAM instead of 8g. This is where it really matters not to skimp out by getting a laptop with less RAM. I do a lot of multi-media and multitasking. And although I'm not a gamer, I need the functionality of a gaming computer to keep a quick pace for all the graphic arts programs I use. I am self employed and run 4 online retail stores. I have to have something that keeps up with the demands of all the tasks I have in a day. So far so good! I have already loaded several apps and two large multi gig programs on the SSD and have experienced no symptoms of bloat unless the app itself is glitchy. (some have been). The only thing that is strange, is the font keeps reverting back to a super tiny size (default) despite changing it in the computer settings and in my Chrome settings too. Hmm. Other than that, I at first had to put little railings underneath on the sides of the computer because even though it sits on a flat desk, and the computer has plenty of vents, it felt really, really hot. So I figured I'd give it more space underneath to prevent overheating. After doing that, and setting my screen brightness to about 65%, it doesn't get hot like it did when I first used it. So that could have been a fluke and caused by something I fixed. Some have mentioned the built in apps bloat the system but a lot of those can just be uninstalled. And live thumbnails deactivated. You can also change your start up settings and turn off a lot of what runs in the background if you notice lag. I really like the feel of the keyboard and it was easy to get used to compared my old one that had keys farther apart. I can actually type faster on this one which is nice. The backlit keyboard is an extra bonus that helps at night. And I didn't expect the little feature where you can set the lighting to nighttime settings which has a soft golden rosy hue instead of LED blue, so that helps eye strain. I would definitely recommend this for anyone that needs a multi-media, lightweight, portable laptop/tablet. And you don't have to worry about losing the stylus either. There's a little compartment built right in that it slides into, and extra nubs for future use.

|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.I would recommend this to a friendI went in looking for a smaller laptop. I thought I had narrowed down my search until I picked up this one. It became my immediate favorite. A 15" screen in a body the size of 14" laptops. All of the features and power I wanted. Just wish the SSD was bigger, but I can replace that if I need to.

Q: QuestionNot clear on the answer. Is this really the i7 8550U (4 Cores) because their web page says this model is a 2 core U processor they don't have any i7 8550U's on there page? So how did best buy get it before they are even selling it?
Asked by Csieg
- A:Answer Pertaining to the person who mentioned this computer is listed on the Samsung site as having a 7th generation processor.... I must politely mention that you are mistaken. I am typing on this laptop as we speak, and it sure enough has the 8th Generation Core i7 sticker on it. It most definitely is a quad-core processor.
Answered by erich
Q: QuestionThe product features page states that it has a Dual-core processor, but I am quite certain that the 8550u processor is a Quad core. Also is the RAM really DDR3 and not DDR4? It seems strange to get a downgrade from a cpu upgrade only refresh model.
Asked by KBLakeR
- A:Answer I have just contacted Best Buy Customer Service via online chat. The person has confirmed that the website had the wrong information, and that he will have the problem resolved. This goes for both the 8550u processor being a Dual core and the RAM being DDR3. So, basically, the 8550u is a Quad core and this laptop has a DDR4 RAM.

Q: QuestionHow come has Samsung not presented this laptop on their website yet, but it is already available for sale on best buy? Is that for real the 8th generation QUAD CORE i7 8550U?
Asked by Th3nr1qu3
- A:Answer Yes, it has i7-8550U processor. I had the same question, and I checked the system information of a display model at BB store.
Answered by OCBB
Q: QuestionI'm confused by the 1.8GHz base processor speed. Intel specs show max turbo boost speed on 8th gen i7 as 4.0GHz. Comparable 7th gen i7 laptops have 2.7GHz as the base speed, similar max turbo, some slightly less turbo. Why base speed lower on a quad-core?
Asked by GizmoGirl
- A:Answer Same type / brand processors can be clocked at different speeds - or have a max speed set.

Q: QuestionSamsung notebook 9 pro 15 inch is now with 8th gen processor, but 13.3 inch is still 7th gen. Anyone know when the 13.3 inch (of samsung notebook 9 pro with pen) will get 8th gen processor?
Asked by Beast
- A:Answer There is a Notebook 9 Pen 13" refresh due in Q1 2018 which will have the Gen 8 processor. Unfortunately it doesn't have Thunderbolt (USB-C Gen1 only) and no dGPU (Intel Integrated only). Here's a link with some details * digitaltrends.com/computing/samsung-refreshes-notebook-9-ces-2018/ * . Personally I would go for the Notebook 9 Pro 15" if you can deal with the slightly larger size. The 15" isn't that much bigger than the 13" the biggest difference will be shorter battery life but has dedicated GPU and larger screen obviously. The information on the refreshed 13" isn't clear on the amount of RAM - if it is limited to 8GB of RAM then the N9P 15" becomes a far better option with 16GB of RAM. I have the older Gen 7 15" Pro and it's a great machine. The Gen 8 would be a nice improvement. The pen experience on these devices is amazing!

Q: QuestionHow does AMD Radeon 540 in this compare to NVIDIA MX150? For example, fps when playing Overwatch in FHD High option...? Or anything, please. I have no idea how good 540 is.
Asked by Adrian
- A:Answer I never used MX150, but I did use this laptop to play some Overwatch last weekend (free weekend yay!). My experience is you won't be able to run Extreme quality with this, the game recommended High, I ran Ultra and it was smooth. By the way, if you also play some Hearthstone, the touch screen is just great.
Answered by Johnny
Q: QuestionIn this model specifications 3-cell battery, RAM-LPDDR3, but on the i7- 7500 model 4-cell battery and RAM-DDR4 - why? And the same way the Ports & the included Software differs and no Backlit Keyboard in this model? Please clarify.
Asked by Pktk
- A:Answer this does have low power ddr3 memory which is still nearly as fast and effective but greatly increases battery life. this model does have keyboard back-lighting. the battery in my use gets up to 7 hours with the recommended setting but about 4 hours at best performance while gaming.
