A 15-inch laptop with many of the benefits of an ultraportable, the Samsung Notebook 9 is a chameleonic computer capable of being almost anything you need.

Samsung Notebook 9 Review

Power and portability both come at a price, and how you balance it matters. And with Notebook 9, Samsung did it quite well, dominating $1500 LG Gram 15 inch in almost every way, and competing well with the MacBook Pro. Also speaking of portability, the Notebook 9 is both thinner and lighter than the MacBook Air.

As mentioned earlier, the one area where Samsung prevails is price. A base Dell XPS 15 with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD will set you back $1,500. For the same amount, the Notebook 9 Pro gives you a 4K panel and touch capabilities. To get the same kind of screen on the Dell, you’ll have to fork over almost $2,000. That Dell does give you 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a PCIe SSD, a bigger battery, and a faster GPU. You’re still out another $500, though.

Power and portability both come at a price, and how you balance it matters. The $1,700 Dell XPS 15 and the $1,500 Asus Zenbook UX501 both beat out the Samsung Notebook 9 15-inch in benchmarks, but were considerably more expensive (as-tested) than the $1,200 Samsung is asking for our review unit.

If you want a highly portable laptop with a large display for serious work, web browsing, video watching and more, the Samsung Notebook 9 15-inch is a very good choice. This notebook offers heavy-duty Core i7 power in a superlight design. And while it's not as ridiculously light as the LG Gram 15, this Samsung laptop lasts more than an hour longer on a charge.

At the end of the day, the Samsung Notebook 9 is a solid machine and is slightly more affordable than most Ultrabooks. Beyond that, it's a stand out rig that's lighter and thinner than most, while offering a gorgeous screen that can't be ignored. The Notebook 9's lower price also makes it more approachable than premium machines like the Dell XPS 13 or HP Spectre 13.

Samsung Notebook 9 NP900X5N-X01US

The Samsung Notebook 9 NP900X5N-X01US is a premium ultrabook with all-day battery life  and a full HD display. The Samsung Notebook 9 is a beautifully crafted piece of technology. Its all-silver chassis is fully built from lightweight aluminium, giving the ultrabook a professional feel featuring simple features, clean curves and a comfortable typing experience. Under the hood, it features a powerful Intel Core i7-7500U processor. This dual-core unit has a base clock speed of 2.7 GHz and a maximum boost speed of 3.5 GHz, not to mention it sports 4 megabytes of cache. As expected from a 7th-generation Intel processor, performance of the processor is top-notch. The laptop also has a dedicated graphics card installed, namely the NVIDIA GeForce 940MX GPU. Although it’s relatively better than an onboard video card, users shouldn’t expect to run many games at maximum settings with this graphic card. However, online multiplayer such as CS: GO, LoL and such will play just fine. The Samsung Notebook 9 NP900X5N-X01US comes with plenty of system memory for all multitasking needs, and more. To be precise, it has 16 gigabytes of DDR4 RAM installed, which should prove sufficient for any photography professionals, for moderate video editing software, for handling large data sets and many other tasks. The Samsung Notebook 9 features a new-generation, high-speed Solid State Drive storage unit, many times faster, more energy efficient and reliable than a mechanical HDD.

Measuring 0.6 by 13.7 by 9 inches (HWD) and weighing just 2.7 pounds, the new Book 9 is slim and light, but respectably sturdy thanks to its aluminium chassis and enhanced keyboard, which provides a premium feel in a highly portable ultrabook. It uses the same sleek curves from previous models, and uses a light titan color theme, though it has narrower bezels around the display. The result is a lighter laptop that packs a 15.6-inch IPS display into a similarly sized casing. This 350-nit display is bright and clear enough. The simple full HD resolution comes with it own benefits, especially improved energy efficiency, which extends the battery life by hours. The backlit keyboard is subtly sculptured and comes with a soft-touch matte finish on the individual keys. As expected, backlighting allows for easy typing in low-light conditions. As for connectivity, it includes a USB Type-C port, a USB 3.0 port and USB 2.0 ports. The Type-C port supports 4K display and fast charging, alongside a regular HDMI-out port. For Internet connectivity, there is no RJ-45 port, instead, a user will connect via Intel's Wireless-AC 8260 with support for 2×2 802.11ac standard and Bluetooth 4.1. The Samsung Notebook 9 is a good laptop for those who need something with higher specs and proper portability. Its design is missing the uniqueness of the older Samsung ultrabooks, but the generic ultrabook design still looks good.

Samsung Notebook 9 Pro review: Good at almost everything, including light gaming
Source: Good Gear Guide English Archive.org version
Samsung’s Notebook 9 Pro does a very good job of balancing performance and features with battery life. It’s the kind of laptop a mainstream user can get without feeling they’ve compromised much. The discrete GPU, while modest, gives it a notable boost over laptops with integrated graphics. Best of all, the pen support and the long-lasting battery offer lots of productivity for the money. The tough choice is between this model and the Lenovo Yoga 720. It comes down to how much graphics power you want, and for what sort of tradeoff. The casual gamers will likely come down on the side of the Notebook 9 Pro.

When it comes to the Notebook 9 Pro, Samsung thinks sharing is caring. Available in both 13 and 15-inch versions, they’re equipped with most of the same core specs. That means Core i7 processors, up to 16GB of RAM, 128 / 256 / 512GB SSD storage options, and HDR-supporting 1080p LED panels. Internally, the only exclusive spec is for the 15-inch version, in the form of a low-end Radeon 540 discrete graphics chip. The 13-inch model starts at $949, while the 15-inch version tested costs $1,299.

Samsung Notebook 9 Pro (15-inch) has a great set of features for a reasonable price. The included stylus fits into a handy custom slot on the body. However, as always there are some cons also that the device is heavier than many other 15-inch laptops, the body can get hot and the power button is awkwardly placed. The Samsung Notebook 9 Pro is packed with decent specs and features for a modest price of $1,199.99.

The Samsung Notebook 9 Pro is a sleek 2-in-1 with a vivid display, strong performance and the best embedded stylus I've used in a laptop. Both the HP Spectre x360 ($1,500 when similarly configured) and the Dell XPS 15 ($2,075 when similarly configured) last far longer on a charge, but they cost quite a bit more than Samsung's laptop. Overall, the Notebook 9 Pro is a worthy buy.

Digital ink doesn’t lead an excessive amount of whereas drawing and writing, thanks partly to sturdy show response. Whereas we choose the “more true” eraser within the Floor Pen, we’ll take the button-based one on the S-Pen for its improved portability and enjoyable options.

All that said, if you're primarily looking for a convertible laptop with good performance and battery life, will only use the pen occasionally, and are hopeful about updates improving pen input, the 13-inch Notebook 9 Pro is worth considering, especially if the price remains at $899. But at the $1,099 price that you'll find if buying from Samsung directly, we think this convertible is a bit overpriced for this crowded market.

The new 15-inch Samsung Notebook 9 suffers from a squishy keyboard and a small amount of storage for its price, but it might be just the perfect laptop for a specific person: someone that prioritizes lasting power and performance above all else … and can get used to that keyboard.

81% Samsung Notebook 9 Pen (2018) Laptop Review
Source: Reviewed.com English Archive.org version
If you're looking for a speedy convertible for note-taking or doodling, the Notebook 9 is a good choice. With its 8th Gen Intel CPU, 8GB of RAM, and included stylus, this 2-in-1 has a lot to offer. The port selection is great too, as it eliminates the need for dongles. While we like the fast performance and lightweight stylus, we still had a few gripes with it.

92% Samsung Notebook 9 EXT 15″ 2018 review: Lightweight, brilliant display, and strong battery life
Source: Techaeris English Archive.org version
In the end, for me, the things I like about the Samsung Notebook 9 EXT 15″ outweighed the things I didn’t like. This was really a nice machine. I will say, for those who really rely on a backlit keyboard. Go check it out before you buy, the keyboard is great to type on but you really need to see the backlighting ahead of time. If that is the one thing you really need to be spot on, that may make or break your decision. It’s really something you need to test for yourself because my brightness preference may be different from yours.

73% Samsung Notebook 9 Pen review: Solid stylus, so many compromises
Source: Engadget English Archive.org version
Ultimately, Samsung's Notebook 9 Pen is a solid little machine with perhaps too many quirks. I have few complaints about its performance and battery life, and in general it has been a reliable little workhorse. It does, however, feature a handful of puzzling design decisions that could've been avoided had Samsung approached this machine more thoughtfully. And the S Pen, while surprisingly effective on a laptop, just won't be worth the premium for a lot of people. Samsung's penless 13-inch Notebook 9m -- also recently announced -- offers nearly everything this pen-packing model does for $100 less. Still, the Notebook 9 Pen has its niches: Students in need of an excellent note-taking machine will find a lot to appreciate here, as will folks who crave sheer portability. If that's not you, well, you can do better elsewhere.

60% Samsung Notebook 9 Pen Review: Too Light For Its Own Good

Despite the Notebook 9 Pen’s solid performance, quality display, and extremely light design, I can’t get over its cheap feeling finish and terrible battery life. On top of that, the weird keyboard quirks and bloatware just make this feel like a machine that would be overpriced at $1,000, much less at the $1,400 it retails for.

With the Notebook 9 Pen, Samsung works some key features from the Galaxy Note 8 phone into a premium two-in-one laptop. For traveling, the Spectre x360 13 is a top choice, thanks to its four-in-one flexibility and terrific battery life. Its stylus is fine for annotating, writing lists or other brief-use tasks, but I don't like it for drawing or extensive note-taking.

85% Samsung Notebook 9 Pen NP930QAA (i7-8550U) Convertible Review | Notebookcheck
The 13.3-inch Samsung Notebook 9 Pen focuses on three strengths: weight, brightness, and S Pen support. The end result is a versatile convertible that's noticeably lighter than the competition and with a brighter display for improved outdoor visibility. The drawbacks, however, are hard to ignore and worth keeping in mind for anyone considering the $1300 flagship Samsung.

70% Samsung Notebook 9 Pro (2019) review: Good value and sleek looks, but performance suffers
Source: Good Gear Guide English Archive.org version
There are depths to Samsung’s Notebook 9 Pro (2019) that justify diving a bit deeper than we might normally. Whether it’s the convertible for you depends on what you’re looking for in a PC. Are you looking for a lightweight, attractive notebook with the potential for long battery life? Are you ready to commit to modern, USB-C Thunderbolt ports, or is there still a need for USB Type-A legacy connections? Does its robust performance in real-world office applications outweigh its collapse when put under prolonged load?

Samsung's 13-inch Notebook 9 Pro (2019) combines sleek design, good battery life, and forward-looking Thunderbolt 3 ports. Despite its shiny new Whiskey Lake processor, though, performance is compromised by the convertible design.

Overall, Samsung has managed to produce an entirely competent laptop in the Notebook 9 Pro, with no show-stopping flaws. It may not be the most exciting computer on the market, but for the asking price, it provides good performance, a solid build quality, and almost all of the features you’ll find on competing laptops like the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 or HP Spectre x360 13.

Comment

Samsung: Samsung Group is the largest South Korean conglomerate and was founded in 1938. Samsung Group employed 489,000 people in 2014 and is one of the world's largest companies in terms of revenue and market strength. The name Samsung means "Three Stars" in Korean and represents the three sons of the company's founder. The company was founded in 1938 as a grocery store. With its subsidiary Samsung Electronics, founded in 1969, Samsung took up the production of electrotechnical items, focusing on consumer electronics and household appliances at an early stage. Other branches in which the large corporation is active include mechanical engineering, automobiles (Hyundai), insurance, wholesale, real estate and leisure. Samsung manufactures a wide range of electronic products, including smartphones, televisions, home appliances and semiconductors. The company's Galaxy line of smartphones is one of the most popular in the world. Samsung is also a major player in the semiconductor industry, making memory chips and processors for many other electronics manufacturers.


Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel HD Graphics 520: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on some Skylake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

NVIDIA GeForce 940MX: Mid-range laptop graphics card based on the Maxwell architecture. Compared to the older 940M, the MX now also supports GDDR5 graphics memory and maybe slightly faster clock speeds.

AMD Radeon RX 540: Polaris based mid-range graphics card with 512 shaders (8 compute units) and a maximum clock speed of 1,219 MHz (according to AMD). Uses the new Polaris 12 chip like the faster Radeon RX 550 (not verified but highly likely) with the slightly improved 14nm FinFET process.

Intel HD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2) found on some Kaby-Lake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.

NVIDIA GeForce MX150: Pascal GP108 based laptop graphics card and mobile version of the desktop GeForce GT 1030. Offers 384 shader cores and usually 2 GB GDDR5 with a 64 Bit memory bus. Manufactured in 14nm.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

6500U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

i7-8565U: Whiskey Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Kaby Lake but produced in a further improved 14nm++ process). The four cores are clocked between 1.8 and 4.6 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading.

Intel Core i5:

6200U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

Intel Kaby Lake:

i7-7500U: Kaby-Lake based SoC with two CPU cores clocked at 2.7 to 3.5 GHz, HyperThreading and manufactured with an improved 14nm process.

i5-7200U: Kaby-Lake based SoC with two CPU cores clocked at 2.5 to 3.1 GHz, HyperThreading and manufactured with an improved 14nm process.

Intel Kaby Lake Refresh:

i5-8550U: Kaby-Lake-Refresh based low power quad-core processor. The four cores are clocked between 1.8 and 4 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading. The integrated GPU is clocked between 300 and 1,150 MHz. The SoC is manufactured in a 14nm+ FinFET process.

15.00:

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
