I'm impressed
By Douglas Baxter
Just got the NP900X3D a couple days ago from Amazon.
Initial impressions: I love it, irritated with a few small items, but it is my new favorite travel computer.
The packaging was great. Three layers of protection: Amazon box with plastic air, Samsung box with foam corners inside, and then a very hard, elegant notebook box with foam inside.
Since I've only had it a few days, I'll keep the review short for now:
Good things:
++ The matte screen is gorgeous. I'm sitting in the kitchen next to an open window with the sunlight pouring in, and it looks just fine. Really good, in fact. My mother-in-law is sitting beside me with an Asus that has a reflective screen. Ouch! The glare from her notebook smacked me in the face. The screen on the Sammy is awesome.
++ Super skinny and light. This is replacing my daily notebook, a lightweight (3.94 lbs) Asus that I thought was very portable. Hah! The Sammy blows it away.
++ Elegant and refined look and feel.
Irritating things:
-- Storage space. OMG. Over half is gone on arrival. Do they really need 4 different recovery partitions? One of which consumes 25 GB? At first I was shocked, but I've mellowed a little now. Just a little. I've created a backup image (which is a little tricky to find in Windows 8), and may consider blowing away this build. Or upgrading to a 256 GB drive, like the M4 mSATA from Crucial.
-- Wifi and automatic brightness. Neither worked well out of the box. But, after running the Samsung SW Update (all apps, Samsung section), it seems fine now. Thinking about it, most new computers need to be fine-tuned and updated when you get them, so this doesn't bother me too much.
Well, that's my initial impressions. I'm completely new to Windows 8, and at first found it quite strange. But the more I play with it, the more I see advantages. I get both the desktop and an app interface. And there are definitely some cool apps out there. Windows 8 starts out in more of a sharing layout than I personally like, but that's just customization, and we all do that.
Update 5/6/2013:
* Tried it outside on the porch and the screen worked great on a sunny day.
* Installed 10 GB of pictures and MS Office. I'll probably load another 10 GB in music, and then one or two movies. I guess everything will fit fine for now. Maybe I wanted more elbow room than I need.
* Still having intermittent problems with wifi connectivity. It works most the time, but occasionally drops out. My router is in the basement, so it may be that the signal is only fair.
* Registering with Samsung added 3 months to the warranty. I know, a pittance, but better than nothing. Brings it up to 15 months.
Update 8/25/2013:
* Bottom line - I still love this laptop, and it's staying with me.
* Wifi - There are several Ultrabook models that have a problematic Intel wifi card, and this model is one of them. The Intel Centrino Advanced N-6235 wifi card can cause connections issues and dropouts. Intel is supposedly working on a driver fix. Mine works fine after de-installing the Intel ProSet Suite, but YMMV. Important point: If you are not comfortable changing software drivers, then I would NOT recommend this notebook for you. That was hard to say, because I really like this notebook.
* It does get a little warm on the lap after a while.
* I have 20 GB of free space after loading all my files, apps, music, videos, pictures, and several movies. And like many people, I have a lot of pictures and music.

Best Ultrabook for under $1000
By G. Trimble
I researched all the latest lightweight laptops to replace an aging Acer 12" Netbook. Needed something to travel with and use around the house. Wanted a 6+hour battery, 3 lbs or less and 13" screen. This 13" ultrabook is almost 1/2 lb lighter at 2.5 lbs than my older netbook and weighs the same as my wife's Ipad with keyboard. The screen is very bright and sharp. Computer is quiet and sleek looking, Macbook Air imitation. Battery is good for 6-8 hours. Computer boots up in seconds with the 128GB SSD. Wish it had a 256 GB SSD but 128GB will do the job and is a lot more than the Ipad offers. I did not like the Windows 8 interface so installed a simple app that replicated Windows 7 menu on startup. This computer should last me for another 5+ years.

Great chassis - buggy drivers
By Jennifer Johnson
LOVE the form of this laptop - sleek and lightweight! I like the back lighting of the keyboard. I wish that the volume controls and screen brightness were not controlled by the Fn keys requiring 2 hands to control, though.
As others have mentioned, there ARE issues with the wireless adapter and touchpad. If you believe your Windows based laptop should run perfectly out of the box - stay away from this laptop. I knew going into this purchase that there were problems and decided to gamble on my being able to address them. I am reasonably comfortable doing this, but not a techie. With the help of the Samsung support, I have reinstalled/updated the drivers for the wireless adapter (x3) and touchpad. The adapter appears to be OK now, the touchpad continues to annoy, refusing to work when the computer is restored from "sleep" mode. Because the reboot is so fast, this is only annoying not unworkable. Also, the default power settings required adjustment and often revert back to default - not sure why.
All in all, for me - the form of the chassis and other design features make this a great little laptop as a road warrior. The frustration factor of the above, though, does not allow me to recommend this as a "buy" without some reservation.
