Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A-B01 Review

Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A-B01 13.3-Inch Laptop has been a true-life saver considering my line of work, which requires me to be on the road most of the time. At any given moment, my job might require me to pack up and travel, I need to have my small but effective office with me, and this includes bringing the Samsung Series 9. At first, I had my doubts if the Series 9 will be able to cope with my demanding line of work. With that said, I feel it would be appropriate to give this laptop a proper review, so let us get started.

I will start with the great parts of this Series 9 laptop and finish of with the flaws. The Samsung Series 9 for starters has a backlit keyboard a great feature when I am working with limited lighting. I am sure some of you might have come across reviews stating that the Series 9 is noisy, well I am here to tell it is not true. The Series 9 is one of the quietest laptops I have ever used. Speed plus power will enable you to run graphical software such as Flash or Photoshop on the Series 9 with ease. In addition, the Series 9 can handle sound software like FL Studio and Audition. Actions like copying, pasting internal/external is a breeze due to USB 3.0 and SSD file management.

I was using a Compaq Presario V3600 which had a poorly dim lit screen and proved difficult to see say when working outside. However, this is not the case with the Series 9, the screen is bright and I have been able to use in just about any lighting condition with out any visual difficulty. Since I travel a lot and still need to look professional, the Series 9 is lightweight, slick and slim. The boot speed of the Series 9 is fast by any standards i.e. less than 20 seconds when shut down and around 4 seconds in sleep mode, impressive right.

Humankind is not 100% perfect therefore how is it anyone can expect anything by man be flawless such as with the Series 9. The sound speakers on this laptop are not that good hence I use my Logitech headphones if I need to listen to some music alternatively I can use my Edifier speakers. However, to me even though Samsung could have improved the speaker sound quality I am not that much bothered by it. Flaw number two is the bad touch pad on the Series 9. I am not sure whether to say the touch pad is bad or super sensitive. I know some might say use a mouse and I do but not every set up will allow me to use a mouse. The issue with the Series 9 touch pad is that when typing like now, you need to make sure you do not get too close to it or you will find yourself typing where you have typed something already.

Finally, if these two issues I outlined as cons are not much of a bother to you then the Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A-B01 13.3-Inch Laptop is right for you.
