Conclusion: We like it
If you don't think 15-inches strains the definition of an ultrabook too much — and you're willing to spend $1,500 — the Samsung Series 9 may be for you. It boasts a sharp, big screen (this is a 15-inch laptop, of course), good battery life, and a usable keyboard and trackpad. Also included: WiDi, which lets you wirelessly display content from your computer on a compatible HDTV. While it lacks some of the features you'd find in a full-size 15-inch laptop (including standard HDMI and Ethernet ports, though both can be added via adapters), the trade-offs result in a computer that's just 0.58-in thick, and weighs just 3.5 pounds.
