Samsung Notebook 9 Pro review

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.

80% Samsung Notebook 9 Pro (13-inch, 2017) Review
Source: Computer Shopper English

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.

Intel HD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2) found on some Kaby-Lake CPU models (15 W ULV series). Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards. » 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.
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.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
