Samsung Ativ 9 Reviews

In today's computer market, products running WINDOWS8 operating systems with touch screens are visible, but Samsung Ativ Book9 is an exception. In fact, in all respects, the Samsung Ativ Book 9 is almost the same as the 2012 Samsung Series 9.

It is learnt that Samsung is about to launch brand new notebooks and tablets, which include a book 9 pro and book 9 Lite. As a result, the series is becoming synonymous with the notebook family, and Ativ has become the main force of Samsung's Windows PC.

Since it is one of the main force of Samsung, then it is directly explained its status and importance in Samsung, such a device, how can the technician give up the evaluation of it? Let's share it.

Series 9 is actually one of the super thin 13-inch super-Ben that we are also popular with. The machine is equipped with a clear and concise screen and has a good battery life for some people. But book 9 doesn't seem to have changed much compared to the previous product. Although it also has 1080p HD resolution, it seems to look like Apple's MacBook Air, and the design is still in its original shape. Unlike the latest version of the MacBook Air, book 9 doesn't come with a new generation of processors, and I think you might think of it as a potential. In fact, the latest Intel processors are not substantially giving the product any benefit in terms of speed, but the improvements in both battery life and integrated graphics are commendable.

Design, display, keyboard, touch Board chapter.

For the design of Ativ Book 9, I have no doubt that it is almost the best and most fashionable super-book I have ever seen. To be more dramatic, I think the machine is even better than the latest Asus, Sony, Toshiba and other similar products, which proves how successful the Samsung design was.

The value of 1.17 kg weight and 0.127 cm thickness is enough to make it one of the lightest products in a 13-inch laptop, and its portability is impressive.

The deep bronze rear cover and inner plate look like charcoal in some way. The body's matte surface feels very good, the overall feel of the fuselage is very strong and very comfortable, like MacBook Air, but it has its own characteristics.

The machine can be opened into a super wide angle, although not 180 degrees but still more than most of the machine's visual angle is wide.

Its backlit keyboard feels a little lighter than the button on the MacBook Air, but it is equally comfortable to beat. Now think about, if the product is not equipped with a backlit keyboard, it seems to be embarrassed to go public. And the machine also designed a large multi-touch panel, I believe it can provide every Windows 8 users with the perfect experience.

However, the machine is not equipped with a touch screen, which is also a real Ativ book 9 obvious shortcomings. The Ativ Book 9, which has the disadvantage, is priced at $1399 (about 8572 yuan).

Because of the advent of the WINDOWS8 operating system, the Windows laptop has gone into a whole new area of design. But I strongly advise you, at least your device needs to have a touch screen, perhaps this is not a necessary condition, that is, you do not have to use the touchscreen, but at least your notebook to have this feature, because Samsung's device if choose to abandon the touch screen, It may make people feel that it is just a defective, or an outdated product.

This really makes Ativ book 9 less, because the 13.3-inch device is still relatively good in other ways. Its matte surface feels more than conventional glossy coatings and also has a 1,920x1,080 pixel resolution. and the screen brightness of the machine is very sufficient, its visual angle is also first-class.

It is worth mentioning that Samsung's side sync technology makes it possible for Samsung's phone or tablet to be mirrored on the Ativ Book 9 screen, and to have an additional display, both of which can be operated via the book 9 keyboard and mouse.

Jacks, specifications and performance.

The jacks and ports of the Samsung Ativ Book 9 are arranged on both sides of the fuselage rear end. It has two full USB3.0 jacks, but other sockets like HDMI and VGA are mini, and the machine is equipped with an essential SD expansion card slot. The machine does not have an Ethernet jack, so I personally feel that there is room for it to design a full-size HDMI jack.

In terms of specifications, the Samsung Ativ Book 9 notebook is powered by a dual-core third-generation Core i7 processor, not the latest fourth generation products. The machine has 4GB of memory space and 128GB of solid-state disk space, priced at $1399 (about 8572 yuan). This means that it is more expensive than the MacBook Air, although its resolution is high, but the processor is a little bit.

Last year, the i5 with Ivy Bridge Core and i7 processors were actually similar to this year's. We got this result in the benchmark, and the processor in the review would make the machine itself faster, even beyond some of the most recent releases. The core i7-3537u processor, which is 2GHz in frequency, is a good choice for this device.

Its HD4000 integrated graphics are fully capable of working with Ativ Book 9, but the new HD5000 level graphics card, paired with the fourth generation core I-series processor, will definitely give users better results and feedback in games and other areas.

Again, the battery life problem. When using Ativ Book 9 for a video playback test, it has a standby time of 5 hours and 05 minutes. This may be a part of the satisfaction of some people, but in terms of this life expectancy, a year ago can be called a disappointing result. As we all know, we've seen a Windows device that's very easy to run for 8 hours, while air is up to 14 hours of life in the same test.

Maybe 5 hours of battery life is acceptable to some users, but if the price is combined, is it a bit too far-fetched?

Concluding article

It is rumored that Samsung may soon be releasing new book 9 Products (plus and lite), and I will personally choose to wait for them to arrive. I want to at least wait for the next-generation processor to be updated so that it can be considered for purchase after the battery life has been boosted. Maybe I'll also consider waiting for it to release a product with a touch screen.

In any case, Samsung Ativ Book 9 is always a good laptop, but I still think it is a little outdated, do not know what to think?

Advantage: Samsung Ativ Book 9 is currently the smallest and most efficient Windows8 operating system in the market, and the resolution of the machine reaches the 1080p standard.

Slight potential: The machine is not equipped with a touch screen, and its battery life makes people feel that it does not match its worth.
