Background

The Samsung Series 9 NP900X3C-A02US laptop was released in 2012. It is part of Samsung's high end Ultrabook lineup.  At the time, it was one of the best Ultrabook on the market due to its sleek design, powerful hardware, and excelled display. It comes with a 13.3-inch full HD LED-backlit display with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The display uses Samsung's SuperBright technology, which makes it brighter and more vibrant than most other Ultrabook's. It also has an anti-glare coating, which reduces reflection which is very helpful to use in bright environments.

It is powered by a third-generation Intel Core i5 processor, which provides plenty of processing power for most tasks. The laptop also has 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a 128GB SSD, which makes it incredibly fast and responsive. The DDR3 RAM is soldered onto the motherboard and cannot be upgraded. However, there is an empty RAM slot that can be used to add an additional 4GB of RAM. The laptop's battery life is impressive, with Samsung claiming that it can last up to 8 hours on a single charge.

The laptop's design is also noteworthy, with Samsung using high quality materials to create a slim and lightweight laptop weighing 2.56 pounds. The laptop's body is made of aluminum, which gives it a premium look. Samsung Series 9 NP900X3C-A02US was designed to compete with other high-end Ultrabook's on the market. No failure modes or recall have been found. A common problem users have reported is that the laptop can get quite hot when performing demanding tasks, which can cause the fan to work harder.

Overall, the Samsung Series 9 NP900X3C-A02US offers excellent performance, a beautiful display, and premium design. While it might not be as powerful as some of today's laptop's, it was certainly ahead of its time and was a popular choice for those who wanted a high end Ultrabook in 2012.
