Here is a quick look at the Samsung Ativ book 9


Samsung may not merge well with a WindowsPhone but its surly doing great with Android phones , along with its television industry and ofcourse its PC division too. 

Last night at CES 2015, CES showed its latest innovation, the Samsung Ativ book 9 which is an addition to their Ativ family.

It claims to be the thinnest & lightest ultrabook yet. Its looks are extraordinary with its full aluminium , unibody having a thin 0.46 inch profile. It weighs around 2 pounds and includes a 12.2 inch WQXGA (2560 x1600) display that is a NON TOUCH SCREEN

Yes, you got it right, this is not a touch enabled device. The Ativ book 9 is being powered by an Intel Core M processor which is not that powerful as it sounds in the terms of performance. However, its main advantage is the ability for devices running Core M to be fanless. Additionally, it has got a very good battery life.

Samsung Ativ book 9 is especially for students, professionals who are looking for light weight , high quality device to use it for taking notes, managing e-mails and doing other such light work.

This piece of hardware costs around $1,999.99 which means its by no means a budget device.

Finally, Samsung is very excited for Windows 10 which they will include in their future hardware innovations in 2015.
