finnaly computers have been around for years but for the most part you're stuck with a smaller screen with them maybe a 12 13 or possibly a 14 inch display with this new Samsung laptop the notebook 9 is a thin inline computer weighs less than a MacBook Air but it's got a big 15 inch display when most 15-inch computers like a MacBook Pro away four and a half pounds or more it's pretty rare to see one that's as portable as a 13-inch computer there are a bunch of reasons why you want a larger screen it's easier to look at easier to multitask with it's easier to work on just generally more pleasant to use you also get room for a bigger keyboard and trackpad which is always more comfortable and welcome and you get a bunch of ports that you might not see on a smaller sized computer the notebook 9 screen is 15 inches in size and it's a 1080p resolution which isn't as high as others that you can get right now but still sharp enough for most purposes as a really thin border around the screen which makes it look even bigger than it actually is what's really neat here though is that it lacks a touchscreen which a lot of Windows 10 computers offer now frankly I really didn't miss it much during my testing the keyboard on the notebook 9 is roomy and responsive but it lacks backlighting which is kind of a sin at this price point it's also a bit spongy or not as clicky as other laptops you can get but fortunately the trackpad is huge and really smooth what's great for multi-touch gestures notebook 9 is a bunch of useful ports too like two full-size USB ports USB C port headphone jack and a full size HDMI port less useful is this mini port for an Ethernet adapter and the micro SD card slot which I wish was just a full-size SD slot and while you can use this USB C port to charge your phone can't charge a laptop with that so you still need a proprietary brick to plug into a special power port performance on the notebook 9 is good for a bunch of things thanks to the core i7 processor and eight gigabytes of RAM even Chrome with dozens of tabs running isn't enough to bog the system down battery life on the other hand is merely acceptable Samsung says you can get up to 12 hours of battery life with it but in real world juice I get closer to 6 or 7 not everything is great with a notebook 9 the design is a bit boring looking it looks a lot like a MacBook Air from 6 years ago and the build quality isn't quite as good as other computers the display hinge is really loose and it feels a bit hollow in your hands now the other downside here is that while it's great have a big screen and keyboard a 15 inch computer isn't always great for travel it doesn't fit on a tray table and it's a little bit clumsy err to use on your lap but what the notebook netic does do is change your perception of what you can get from a thin and line computer no longer are you stuck with a small screen it's not the best computer in any metric but as a good value for its price and it does most tasks really well without any major compromises because of its design if you've been craving a lighter computer but are tired or squinting at smaller screens the notebook 9 is definitely worth a look check check this is data from the verge talking about laptops which is not as sharp as some of us yeah that's right like so you still need to plug into a power brick with the proprietary well I just didn't lost myself
