Samsung Launches 3200x1800 Pixel ATIV Book 9 Plus Laptop

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday June 20, 2013 @01:53PM from the brand-new dept.

sfcrazy writes "As expected Samsung has updated its Ultrabook family giving direct competition to Apple's MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. When Apple launched its MacBook Air with 12 hours of battery life every one was looking at only one company to outdo Apple and that company was Samsung and the leading Android maker did not disappoint. With the launch of ATIV Book 9 Plus featuring:

* 256GB SSD (seems 128GB would be the base model)
* 3200x1800 resolution
* Touch Screen
* Haswell Processor
* 12 Hours battery life
* More 'standard' ports as compared to Apple's proprietary ports."

Wow! It must be constructed from helium infused aero gels and space age nano-materials. Almost makes the horrible OS worth enduring. Almost.

  Careful. Wipe the bloated Win8 OS and the damn thing just might float in mid-air. I mean really, it needs some kind of paperweight.

No support for Windows 8.
Why'd you include that point with the list of failings? That's a feature.

I bought a MacBook air a year ago. The first one exploded to blew my hand off. The next one killed my dog. It wouldn't run DR-DOS at all. The wifi screwed up and sterilized my nuts.
Overall I was left with a really bad feeling about all Apple products, which obviously must all have similar defects. Anecdotes by unverifiable semi-anonymous internet posters prove that to be true.

When will someone produce finally produce a good Linux blue screen analyser? A question I'm sure we're all asking ourselves.

Typing this on a MBA and the one thing I wish it had was higher screen resolution.
Me too, but I wish I had a table instead because the MBA won't keep still and keeps complaining he didn't go to college to be treated like this.

Oh right, I forgot. Linux never OOPS's, bugchecks, or does a memory dump. Sure am glad that it never sticks you in a reboot cycle, hangs @ initramfs, has driver bugs that kill your E1000 adapter....
Linux: the only piece of software with no bugs whatsoever. Honestly I dont know why they keep updating it, since its already reached perfection.
