Samsung Series 9 (13-inch, 2012) NP900X3C-A01 Review

The good: The new 13-inch Samsung Series 9 is incredibly light and thin, with excellent battery life, and a bright matte 1,600x900-pixel screen.

The bad: It lacks bells and whistles (discrete graphics, more storage, faster processor) seen in higher-end Windows ultrabooks, and the base model costs $100 more than a MacBook Air.

The bottom line: If you're looking for a beautifully built, extremely thin, light, and portable ultrabook, the Samsung Series 9 rises above the competition. It may lack a few top-end features, but it's a perfect ultraportable for those who can afford it.
