I started with CNET reviewing laptops in 2009. Now I explore wearable tech, VR/AR, tablets, gaming and future/emerging trends in our changing world. Other obsessions include magic, immersive theater, puzzles, board games, cooking, improv and the New York Jets. My background includes an MFA in theater which I apply to thinking about immersive experiences of the future.

Even the box for the Series 9 feels upscale: soft black surfaces and metal trim.

The Samsung Series 9 power adapter is tiny and has a removable plug for travel.

Opened up, it does indeed resemble a MacBook Air.

The whole chassis has a very pleasing, minimalist feel.

Raised keys, a wide touch pad, and brushed-metal palm rests, along with a matte screen, grace the interior.

The sliding port door on the side hides the various USB and proprietary ports.

Mini-HDMI, a proprietary mini-port, and microSD.

The Ethernet dongle is awkward, but then again, the MacBook Air doesn't have an Ethernet port either.

It feels about as light as a MacBook Air, too.
