Samsung recently introduced their upcoming notebooks in the form of the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Pro and Spin. These bad boys comes with a Windows 10 Home system, which is expected to deliver a top notch experience, however, what more can we expect about Samsung’s latest notebooks? Lets dig in a little deeper shall we?
Lets start things off with the Book 9 Pro, which has very straight forward and simple entry – level configurations in hand, such as its 15.6-inch 4K display, with Intel Core’s i7-6700HQ processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX950M graphics card for maximum performance in gaming and entertainment uses. The latter also holds 8GB of RAM and a 256GB of SSD RAM.
The device also carries a few hands-on features such as the touch capability features for the display, as well as a quartet of speakers, for excellent music synchronization. The Book 9 Pro also has a USB Type-C connector and an expected battery longevity of 6.5 hours.
As for the Book 9 Spin, the latter has a relatively smaller 13.3-inch QHD+ display, which rotates in a 360 degrees spin, oh, so thats why they called it Spin, i get it now. The Spin also has an Intel Core i7-6500U processor with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD to back it up. the Book 9 Spin is relatively lighter, with its 2.98lbs, in comparison to the Book 9 Pro’s 4.45lbs.

The Book 9 siblings is said to be launched within this month and a global launch is yet to be determined, though we’ve got high hopes that the Book 9 duo will eventually make it to Philippine shores, hopefully. As for the pricing, the Pro is expected to be at around $1599 or roughly Php 75K in converted PH price, while the Spin is at $1399 or roughly Php 65K in converted PH price, so if it makes it here, it’ll have a pretty hefty price.
