The sophisticated beauty of the flowing line on the side of the Series 9 Notebook is a key design concept. The flowing line gives the Series 9 Notebook an aerodynamic and sleek style much like a premium sports car. The aerodynamic style and refined line express controlled power, while the Notebook 9 Series’ naturally flowing arch fits comfortably in the hand.

Ultra Vivid Display

The true to life quality of the Series 9 Notebook display shows that picture quality does not have to be sacrificed for mobility. The notebook’s SuperBright Plus display with 400nit brightness, which is two times brighter than conventional displays, as well as its vibrant Color reproduction (16 million colors) and Super Contrast ratio (1,300:1), makes it one of the most beautiful notebook displays on the market. Its fresh and vivid look brings multimedia to life and gives users an unforgettable gaming experience. Each of its 16 million colors illustrates and defines a crystal clear picture quality that is the hallmark of Samsung’s display industry leadership.    

The 9 Series premium notebook display also includes advanced usability and performance-enhancing features. Utilizing ambient light sensors, the Auto Display Brightness controls measure light levels in the vicinity of the notebook and automatically adjusts the brightness of the display to ensure an optimized user experience, all the while conserving battery life. This innovative feature is complemented by an automatically adjusting backlit keyboard that adapts to darker light conditions with greater illumination.
