The 15-inch Samsung Notebook 9 continues to be one of the lightest Ultrabooks in its size class at just under 1.3 kg whereas most 15-inch flagships like the XPS 15, MacBook Pro 15, and Microsoft Surface Book 2 15 are roughly 50 percent heavier at about 2 kg each.

Notable competitors to the $1500 USD Notebook 9 NP900X5N include the Dell XPS 15, HP Spectre x360 15, LG Gram 15, and MacBook Pro 15. For this review, we will be focusing on the performance of the new processors and how it compares to the older configuration.

The Samsung Notebook 9 NP900X5T is one such example as it is an internal update of the outgoing NP900X5N. Now that both Kaby Lake-R and entry-level Pascal are available for notebooks, a number of manufacturers have been updating some older Kaby Lake and Maxwell configurations with the latest generation of Intel and Nvidia processors. ![]()
