Great machine

I am a writer and do most of my work on a desktop machine, but when I am traveling or at conferences, I need a fast, light, elegant device. And that is what the ATIV Book 9 plus is. I love the hi-rez screen and the hefty battery life.
Why does this laptop not offer 8 gb ram as an option, ruins the whole experience!

Samsung does not seem to understand that UEFI is a standard, booting other OSes in pure EFI mode doesn't seem to work well. Hopyfully this gets fixed by a firmware ipdate. Disabling the secure boot does not seem to help. Ubuntu for example is only detected with CSM(legacy BIOS compatible mode.) Somehow this system is bundled with software that should not being run outside X labeled gaming consoles. Killer screen however, so it could have potential if the design team only knew how to follow standards, like UEFI.
Pros: disable secure boot
Cons: Did not meet expectations, uefi
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It has so many features, it's very great, except it would have been great if they have larger size like 15"
