New Samsung 15-inch Notebook 9 weighs more than a MacBook

Samsung's Notebook 9 extremely pushed the envelope on size whereas still providing solid performance in a very direct package. Today, the corporate is updating those extraordinarily light-weight laptops: a replacement pair of Notebook 9 computers has just been declared, and that they are even lighter than those that came before. The 13-inch weighs only 1.8 pounds, whereas the 15-inch version comes in at a laughably light-weight a pair of.17 pounds. That 15-inch weight is significantly noteworthy, because the sooner version came in at a still-light a pair of.9 pounds. to place things in perspective, Apple's 12-inch MacBook weighs 2 pounds even -- the 15-inch Notebook 9 is barely heavier than that.

The Notebook 9 doesn't skim on performance, either - the lineup offers 7th era Intel Core i5 or i7 processors and gives you a chance to put in up to 16GB of RAM. Normally, the capacity is in a strong state, with drive choices "up to" 256GB, and the screen determination comes in at 1080p on the speck. In any case, Samsung needed to compromise some place to get this much PC in such a little bundle, and it would seem that battery life is what'll take the hit. Samsung says these machines are appraised for seven hours. Luckily, USB-C control gives a full charge in 80 minutes.



From an design outlook, the new PC looks somewhat not quite the same as the first. It has more of an unmistakable flavor and looks less like a MacBook Air clone. The entire machine is a lighter shade of silver and dim, with keys to coordinate (as opposed to the dark key tops that denoted the past model). Furthermore, Samsung included a unique mark scanner here - so on the off chance that you loved the TouchID scanner in the new MacBook Pro however detested everything else, the Notebook 9 may work for you.


Unfortunately, Samsung didn't say how much the new Notebook 9 models cost (or when they'll be available). Last year's model 15-inch model started at $1,200; hopefully these new ones will be in that same ballpark. We'll have to really get our hands on these and try them out before we can pass judgement, but Samsung had a good thing going with the last model. It looks like the company kept what worked with the first Notebook 9 while somehow reducing the weight of that 15-inch model in a big way. There are also more configurations available this time out -- so if you're looking for a light but otherwise basic laptop (no touchscreen, no tricks like a detachable screen), the new Notebook 9 could be worth a look.
