Never worth 4 stars in a million years, imo.
Agreed,
Also agree
1,600x900? Generous? I think not. I'd expect a minimum of 1200 vertical pixels for this much cash, perhaps more.

Installing Bing Bar and Norton Internet Security on a machine as beautiful as this ought to be a criminal offense
Looks amazing but I expect more for £1000
So I'm guessing 1920*1200 on a 13.3" screen... That's what? 170 DPI. A bit OTT.Quote:

That's not what I want to know, I want to know how it stacks up as a product and if the features and capabilities warrant the rrp. If all ultrabooks don't have the features to warrant the cash they should all get low marks.Quote:

I run a MBA as my work laptop - I would without doubt swap it for an Ultrabook and I think the Samsung is one of the best, that or the Dell XPS.
Chiclet keyboard?
Nooooooooooooooo!
look how slim that thing is. it just looks amazing
This is a beautiful bit of kit and that's coming from a macbook user! I'm no hardware geek per se but I wonder how well it'd fare with programs like photoshop. This isn't a gaming machine by any stretch but it wasn't ever destined to be. As it is I think it performs it's tasks pretty well. It's a bit steep at £1k though. Would be perfect for a portable workhorse. I forget how strenuous a laptop can be to carry about when travelling.
To be honest Id take my 1 and a half inch thick xps15 (cost £550 and is much faster) over that any day unless it was going for less than £600.
It looks nice don't get me wrong but if I was only buying things because they looked nice then I would have jumped over to Apple long ago. As it is I go for the best I can get for my money.

I don't see why people are attacking this? Its probably fair to say its 'best in class' by quite a way. Sure its expensive, but I just finished lugging 14kg of 'tech' around with me for two weeks. The idea of replacing two older laptops with two of these is very appealing!
Well me personally, im not attacking it because i dont like it, i just dont think the reviewers comment correlate to the score he gave it.
