Samsung Notebook 9 feels such a light that it is difficult to believe that it is a 15-inch laptop. In fact, at 2.7 pounds, this is one of the lightest notebooks, which we have ever investigated. There is also a lot about notebook’s overall performance, impressive battery life, and bright and colorful display.
For $ 1,399, build chassis and keyboard quality does not last long enough, but often a large display in the portable design, frequent travelers should keep this ultrabook in their small list.
Samsung Notebook 9 Design
The sleek, light chassis of Samsung Notebook 9 is a good MacBook impression, but there is not much. I am a big fan of simplified, silver design of laptops – nothing more than a bright Samsung logo on the lid – but its magnesium-alloy chassis is very cheap and bandaged for a premium notebook
Fortunately, Samsung Notebook 9 ‘s wing makes it an excellent travel companion with a 2.73-pound body and impressive slim 0.61-inch edges. Compared to similar speeds MSI Prestige PE60 (5.4 pounds, 1.1 inches) compared to HP Specter X360 (4.4 pounds, 0.7 in.) And low winters, it is very thin and lightweight. In 15-inch machines, only LG Gram 15 (2.16 pounds) is lighter than Samsung.
Ports
Considering how many laptops are locking in favor of slimness, I get a healthy amount on the thin edges of notebook 9. On the left side, USB 2.0 port, headphone jack, a USB Type-C port and a power input, while two USB 3.0 ports, a MicroSD card reader and one HDMI port sit on the right. There should be a lot to do to work on a port selection of Notebook 9, and it does not add much amount to laptop design.

Audio
Notebook 7’s low-end stereo speakers provide decent clarity, but they are not very loud. The flying notes of the tropical guitar and Paramore’s “hard times” came neatly, but the bass was really inaudible.
Mik Gordon’s “Doom” soundtrack had mixed results similar to switching gears in the heavy metal. The fast drums and senna of the album appeared clearly, but guitars were dirty, and in each track, there was only the lack of quantity and punch that I am using.
Keyboard, touchpad, and fingerprint reader
Notebook 9 keyboard is disappointing because it manages to feel both fast and hollow at once. I had no problem in the work documents, and with easy key hero typing test, about 93 words per minute accurate Accelerated with accuracy.
But like the rest of the 9 notebooks, the keys look just cheap and just a little shallow – as much as I used them, the more inconvenient I found them, it does not help that the whole chassis looks like a sink if you put a little extra pressure on the keyboard.
I do not have many complaints about the laptop’s touchpad. However, it could provide a snapper click, but it makes it easy for me to navigate and pinch-to-zoom.
