Samsung Notebook 9 13.3" Review: the 1.9 lb Core i5 Laptop

Lisa Gade reviews the Samsung Notebook 9, an insanely slim and light 13.3” Ultrabook that doesn't sacrifice performance or battery life. The 1.9 lb. (0.86 kg) laptop is 0.53” (13.5mm) thin and is clad in metal. It runs Windows 10 on the Intel Skylake 6th generation Core i5-6200U, a dual core 2.3 GHz ULV CPU with Intel HD 520 graphics. It has 8 gigs of RAM and an M.2 256 gig SSD. The Notebook 9 has Intel AC 8260 dual band WiFi 802.11ac with Bluetooth 4.1, a 720p webcam, backlit keyboard and large glass trackpad. It sells for $999.

The Notebook 9 has a 1920 x 1080 non-touch PLS display with good color gamut, high brightness and wide viewing angles. For those who want something larger, Samsung also sells a 15” version with similar specs and a slightly higher price tag. The laptop has two USB 3.0 ports, 3.5mm audio, an SD card slot, Ethernet via included dongle adapter, micro HDMI and a mini VGA port.
