Difference in the 9-series?

Hello guys

I'm considering buying the 13.3" version, but I'm not sure what the difference is between: 900X3A-A03 vs 900X3A-B01

What's the difference between them, which justifies the pricedifference?

Any help is appreciated!

 

Oh, and I have to make a decision soon, so any input would be much appreciated. Especially because I'm also considering getting an UX31 - but the Samsung 900X3A-A03 is inticing, and they've been offered to me at the same price

 

The B01 is the only series 9 I'd get(and did). It has the centrino 6300 3 antenna wireless which fixed the wireless issues the previous A0X models with 2 antenna cards had.

Bonus for the series 9 over the ux31 is you can upgrade the ram from 4gb to 8gb. The UX31 is limited to 4gb, something that may not be a big deal to you, but to me it was enough to pull me away from the higher screen resolution of the ux31.

 

Thanks Marius 4GB ram is more than plenty for my needs though! That's not a dealbreaker for me.

Are you happy with your Samsung so far?

EDIT: Does your version also come with the anti-glare (matte) screen?

 

yes, the B01 has a matte screen. All in all I really like it, I wish it had a 1600x900 screen but it's not a deal breaker for what I use it for.

If you have the skill it's worth it to upgrade to 8gb of ram anyway since it comes with a single 4gb stick. By adding the extra 4gb(which only costs $15-20 from most retailers online) enables dual channel memory and makes the computer a little snappier.
