Too expensive – but with a better screen it'd be a MacBook killer

Samsung 900X4C review – design and build 

The 14.9mm Series 9 laptop beats its rivals – like the Apple MacBook Air and Acer Aspire S5 – and it's almost as light as they are too – impressive given its larger 15in screen. It's a more conservative design than those of previous Samsung Ultrabooks, but's certainly no worse off for it. 

Samsung 900X4C review – screen 

A 15in screen is useful but the Samsung's 1600x900 res is the bare minimum you can get away with on it. A little more contrast wouldn't have gone amiss either. 

Samsung 900X4C review – in use 

Battery lasts for seven hours easily, while a special 'silent' mode locks the CPU to 522MHz to minimise fan use. Even with this mode off, the Samsung never made a peep. 

Samsung 900X4C review – verdict 

For the cash, we'd rather have a MacBook Air, as its finish and compact size make it more companionable. Then again, if you find 13in screens eye-straining, the Samsung 900X4C is a viable option.

    My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do, ask22.com

    Love my job, since I've been bringing in $82h… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online… bing30.com
