12/7/2023 0 Comments Samsung notebook 9![]() ![]() The MacBook (3:11) finished in even less time. That's faster than the times from the Swift 7, the Gram and the XPS 13. The Notebook 9 turned in a very good time of 3 minutes and 35 seconds on our OpenOffice productivity test, which matches 20,000 names to addresses. We recorded faster speeds from the SSDs in the MacBook and the XPS 13 (both over 300 MBps). That's practically tied with the SSD in the Gram (212 MBps) and faster than the SSD in the Swift 7. The 256GB M.2 SATA SSD in the Notebook 9 duplicated 4.97GB of multimedia files in 24 seconds, for a speed of 212.1 MBps. That beats the 6,993 ultraportable average, the 5,519 from the Swift 7 (Core i5-7Y54, 16GB RAM), the 6,767 from the LG Gram (Core i5-7200U, 8GB RAM), the 7,287 from the XPS 13 (Core i5-7200U, 8GB RAM) and the 6,272 from the MacBook (Core m5, 8GB RAM). The Notebook 9 scored an impressive 8,410 on the Geekbench 4 general performance test. The system continued to move at a brisk pace after I opened a handful of apps, including the Windows App Store, Camera, Photos and Samsung PC Cleaner. I saw no stutter after I split my screen between a 1080p YouTube video and a dozen Chrome tabs (including Slack, TweetDeck and Google Docs). Performance: Such power for such a light deviceĮxpect solid speed from the Core i7-7500U CPU, 16GB of RAM configuration of the Notebook 9, which enables quality multitasking. This muffled music cleared up by opening the Samsung Setting app, selecting the Music tab and choosing the Music preset. Playing Kendrick Lamar's "DNA" on the notebook, I noticed solid bass and crisp drums, but didn't think the vocals were clear enough. The Notebook 9 provides enough solid sound to fill our large conference room, though you'll need Samsung's utility for optimal audio. It also speedily recognized two-finger swiping and three-finger app-navigation. The notebook's 3.9 x 2.3-inch buttonless touchpad offers accurate input tracking and a decent feel to each click. During my testing, I noted that the speedy sensor makes logging in via Windows Hello a breeze. Unlike every other notebook I've ever seen, the Notebook 9 devotes a letter-key's worth of space (the right half of the right Shift) to its fingerprint reader. That performance is owed to the keys' 1.6 millimeters of travel and 69 grams of required actuation force, measurements within our preferred range (above 1.5mm and 60g). When I tried it out on the typing test, I hit 79 words per minute, a word shy of my 80 wpm average. The Notebook 9's full-size keyboard offers a comfortable typing experience. Keyboard, Touchpad: Good for clicking and clacking ![]() This brightness enables decent viewing angles, as colors retained their hues at 45 degrees to the left and right. Brighter panels are found in the 319-nit Swift 7 and the 327-nit MacBook. That beats the 295-nit category average and the 271-nit Gram, and it's just a smidge above the 302-nit XPS 13. The Notebook 9's screen is also plenty bright, emitting up to 308 nits (a measure of brightness). That beats the Swift 7, the MacBook, the Gram, the XPS 13 and the 2.4 category average. The LG Gram proved it was the most colorful, earning a 135-percent score.Įven better, those colors are also accurate, as the Notebook 9 notched a score of 0.2 on the Delta-E test (where 0 is perfect). That edges out marks from the Swift 7 and the MacBook and beats the XPS 13. At least you can save and share those notes as well as draw over existing image files.According to our colorimeter, the Notebook 9 produces 118 percent of the sRGB spectrum. The first option is a notetaking app similar to OneNote, called Samsung Notes, though much simpler than Microsoft’s version. This is called Air Command, and the options available include Create Note, View All Notes, Smart Select, Screen and Show Window. This stylus is competitive with even Microsoft’s latest Surface Pen, which weighs twice as much and requires a battery for the same basic functions save for a software eraser and deeper Windows controls.ĭrawing the S-Pen from its sheath automatically conjures a radial menu of options from where the Action Center appears. Unlike digital pens, it requires no charging, and yet, offers up to 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity as well as tilt controls. Speaking of which, the inclusion of the S-Pen here is pretty clever, with a slot for the stylus embedded into the right side of the base at the lip. ![]()
