    hi,
    i ve purchased a samsung 9 series laptop with 13.3 inch.
    it was just what i want. but there was wifi problem. so sent it back.
    they gave me a coupon cost 1500 dollars. i can buy what i want.
    do i have to wait for nea samsung 9 series models?especially 15 inch one. because it ll be better for me a 15 inch screen.

    what i liked with samsung 9 series are; 128 gb ssd, no noise,compact,light and thin,performanc,battery life, usb 3.0 and micro sd slots,backlight..

    what i dislike are, wifi problem and micro sd door cant be closed.


    i can purchase a macbook air or other brand.. what do u suggest to me?
    i viewed ultrabooks but they re not as good as series 9 samsung yet, i think.

    i need a perfect screen,long battery life. i dont play games.

    thank u

    Which model of the S9 did you send back? Which wifi card did it have?

    Some models of the 2011 S9 use the Intel 3x3 wifi which gives better wifi performance than the 2x2 version.

    There's also the 2012 S9 which arrived in UK last week and is coming to other markets over time.

    i sent back 900x3a a01 model.
    i think best thing is to wait untill new samsung 9 series come.

    Unless you look at an uber expensive Sony, in my research, nothing has compared to the display quality of Samsungs units. Love them...
