most current ultrabooks pack 14 inch or smaller screens with ultra-high resolutions including Samsung ativ book 9 plus but with the book 9 2014 edition Samsung went big on the screen instead of packing more pixels I'm Josh Goldman Mussina and this ultra book has an unusual but not unheard of 15.6 inch display with a 1080p resolution giving you more room for work and play however unlike most other 15 Inter's the body stays relatively light at less than four and a half pounds and it's barely more than half an inch thick it has the aluminum body and sturdy construction of a premium laptop that's for sure and decent port assortment given the limited space including a hidden SD card slot though for Ethernet and VGA out you'll need dongles the latter one coming at an extra cost the keyboard is big comfortable and backlit with no flex the touchpad is generally excellent and the screen is very nice too plus the lower resolution likely contributes to its battery life of more than nine hours in our tests for its $1,500 price though the internals are pretty average with a Core i5 processor eight gigs of memory Intel integrated 4400 graphics and 128 gig SSD you can get a core i7 version 2 with a 256 gig SSD but that's $1,900 you can read the full review on cnet.com but yeah it's a premium laptop with a matching price tag but if you're looking for something travel friendly with a big screen and superb battery life you want to grab this I'm Josh golden and that's a look at the Samsung ativ book 9 2014 edition
