Series 9Notebook
The Samsung Notebook 900X3A is beautifully crafted to weigh an incredible 1.31kg and constructed with a sleek 16.3mm thin Duralumin shell, which is the same material used to build aircrafts! Its stunning design, with flowing curves, packs in a huge mobile performance. The SuperBright Plus LED screen delivers 16 million colours and a market-leading 400nit brightness is 100% brighter than a normal 13” notebook. And with a backlit keyboard, you can enjoy HD movies and games, day or night. Adding to the outstanding performance is the Intel® Core™ i5 Processor and the improved Solid-State Drive. So, the 900X3A is definitely the one to watch.

Excellant Laptop
Posted05 March 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
"I love this laptop because it is so light but am finding it hard to find the lan adapter that was originally on the laptops page. My office is not wireless yet so need to connect to the network via a RJ45 cable.
The mouse is extremely sensitive."

Excelent laptop, few glitches to be aware
Posted10 September 2011
I would recommend this to a friend!
"The laptop as promised delivers: is lightweight, fast, has a good screen, great design and a comfi keyboard. If you plan to use it connected to a bigger screen or for presentations, its micro hdmi connection is weak. To use it with most common projectors, you need to buy a cable (not easy to find) to connect to older and more frequent vga connections or regular hdmi connections. If you want to use on your desk, Its connection to bigger screens, works: sometimes yes, sometimes not, now, not."
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, design
Cons: connection to other screens, if you plan to use as desktop
I would recommend this to a friend!

On the road?
Posted05 October 2011
"This laptop is perfect for on the road, it is light weight and with the fast start up you're ready to go.
how ever there are some things wich are important if you going to use an ext. display
how ever there are some things wich are important if you going to use an ext. display
-The vga dongle is only vga and not dvi of even hdmi ( don't know if samsung going to bring out different dongles)
- tested 2 different VGA dongles, one dongle can't communicate with longer vga cables( beamers etc) and the other vga dongle can communicate with longer vga cables but only has a max resolution of 1440x900, that isn't very handy since most ext. displays are 22 inch and start with a 1680x1050 resolution.

besides my foundings above the machine is great, it reacts very quick and starts up very fast."

Throughly dissapointed.
Posted29 November 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"I bought this laptop exactly a year ago, cause I wanted a lightweight laptop to take with me on my regular travels, rather than carrying the heavy laptop I already had.
The touch pad had issues from the beggining on this laptop. It was getting stuck or wasn't responding at times. A month later the key board started to chip off. 2 months later the right click of the touch pad stopped working completely and upto today it doesn't work. Now the charger (AC Adopter) has a lose connection and the wire is torn. Now it's been a continous struggle to charge it plus it is very difficult to find a matching AC adopter in the store. I'm throughly dissapointed.
The good things about this product for me are, the beautiful design, good display, lightweight and battery power."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Plastic casing cracks for many owners
Posted26 June 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"I have been in touch with 5 other owners of this laptop who have had the plastic case around the keyboard break with a few weeks to a few months of ownership - all in exactly the same place. This is a design fault with the laptop, unfortunately, which causes it to break over one of the screw holes under the case when you pick it up. Laptops are obviously going to be picked up a lot - so this breaks quickly (mine did within 6 weeks).
Other than this, it is a sleek, fast machine. But, for this price it should never have a design flaw."
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, design flaw
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Interesting laptop, but
Posted20 March 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"Nice looking, lightweight, not very durable scratches very easy........but the wireless connection is pathetic, it wont work in the next room which is only 4 metres from the wireless router. Purchased four of these laptops and they are all the same. Should have bought one and tested it first then wouldnt have bought any more."
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, wireless is pathetic.

Nice try to beat Apple but has substantial deisgn flaws and overly expensive, wait for next gen
Posted01 December 2011
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"Another try in a long infamous Samsing-Apple battle for fashion obseessed consumer.
Good try and I bought this machine as a previous user of Samsung X360 SSD which was excellent and much better that this one in terms of price, performance, better 16x10 screen vs too narrow 16x9 with dock port but this all gone, hopefully not forever.
So the new machine is not a great performer, gets warm, but very solid and durable. Lacks dock port completely. Display brightness is excellent but size does not attract business user. Connections to AC and to Ethernet RJ-45 are rather flimsy and not robust if you are a road warrior. So after 2 weeks of play it goes back to manufacturer. Bring us back x360, folks!"
