Samsung: 15,6-Zoll-FHD-Notebook Ativ Book 9 Style in Lederoptik - Notebookcheck.com News

 

Nice find.

I presume it is the NP930X5J or NP940X5J with some extra bling.

We should know next week when the press have looked at what is on display.

Samsung's thing for (faux) leather continues with the ATIV Book 9 Style

 

I always ask my self why reviewers (on shows)never disconnect notebook from power sours and go to desktop to look for battery hour prediction, instead of that they ask presenter ,that is sometimes there not by knowledge but by the look.

 

SW Update is now listing NP910S5J-K01DE and NP910S5J-K02DE. Both have sections for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Drivers / Software. I have been comparing the User Manual for this model (the installer includes 35 languages) with the very similar User Manual for the NP930X5J and have noticed a few differences including:

(i) Whereas the NP930X5J shows the touchscreen as optional, it is not explicitly shown for the NP910S5J (although the general description of Windows usage includes references to touchscreen)
(ii) While the NP930X5J has F9 key control for the keyboard backlight, on the NP910S5J F9 is for Viewing Running Apps. (See Engadget's photos).

(iii) The NP910S5J specs say i5/i5 CPU while the NP930X5J has i5/i7.

Both manuals have a small section for WWAN (Optional). However, there's no indication in the hardware overview of where a SIM card slot might be located.

It seems that this model might be available in some countries before the NP930X5J. I can also see in SW Update: NP910S5J-K01AT (Austria); NP910S5J-K01CN, NP910S5J-K02CN (China); NP910S5J-K01HK, NP910S5J-K02HK (Hong Kong); NP910S5J-K01CH (Switzerland); NP910S5J-K01FR (France); NP910S5J-K01UK (UK);

Some of those countries also have the NP930X5J listed. Perhaps Samsung are doing some market testing to see what sells.

Damn, the screen looks glossy to me: Samsung Ativ Book 9 Style Hands On - YouTube

What I would like is a non touch full HD matte screen for the Samsung Series 9 15", come on Samsung, you can do it

 

Oh, it's glossy. However, I read that it will be actually matte. Maybe a preproduction unit?

edit:
I remember some interview from CES, where a Samsung guy mentioned that it would have an antireflective coating. So when I read antireflective in the announcements a couple of days ago, they may have actually not meant matte, but glossy with a special coating.
I'm not sure if will like this :-/

 

I think any matte display uses a coating to create a slightly rough and non-reflective surface. However, the more effective the anti-glare then the worse the image degradation, so maybe Samsung have opted for a compromise. We need to see some more photos.
