Reviews for the Samsung Notebook 9 Pro NP940X5M
Samsung Notebook 9 Pro review: Good at almost everything, including light gaming
Source: Good Gear Guide
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.

Samsung Notebook 9 Pro (15-Inch)

The Samsung Notebook 9 Pro has a nice price compared with competitors, but a 15-inch 2-in-1 with a multimode hinge isn't as easy to grasp as smaller alternatives.

Samsung Notebook 9 Pro Review: Plastic And Pens
Source: The Verge Archive.org version
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): Premium Features At A Friendly Rate
Source: iTech Post Archive.org version
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.

Samsung Notebook 9 Pro (15-inch) Review
Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version
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.

We've seen the stylus before as part of Samsung's Note smartphone lineup. But this is the first time the company has built it into a laptop.

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

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.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
