Nice Hardware, but windows doesn't handle well

Hardware is very nice quality, sturdy metals, the screen hinge seems well done, keyboard is not bad, touch pad is well done. Touch screen is very responsive and seems to repel fingerprints with a slight matte finish - very nice.
The 4k display is really extremely nice, but heavy green tint that can't be adjusted out.
The SD card sticks out of the side too far.
It would have been nice to have a wired ethernet, but this is a very slim laptop.
Camera does not seem to be compatible with Windows Hello login even though it came pre-loaded with windows 10.
Biggest problem is Microsoft. It handles the 4k display very badly. I have the screen set to 200% magnification and office and browsers are VERY nice looking. However, ALL older apps DO NOT understand the 200% magnification and are almost microscopic to see. Remote desktop (which I use all day for work) is almost completely unusable. I found that MS RD Connection Manager 2.2 DOES compensate and displays remote desktops in a good point size - it it weren't for that, I would have had to return the laptop.

Cons: very expensive, distorted color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great laptop - except blue color display issue

As a Samsung fan, I was happy to add this new laptop. I have various Samsung products and I selected Samsung, to ensure a seamless data flow. I love many features on this laptop, however, it has a significant flaw: The blue colors are displayed greenish. That is really very sad. I hope there will be a firmware update to fix it. If the blues actually could be seen as blue, I would have given this ATIV Book 9 Pro 5 stars.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Durable
Cons: incorrect blue color display

Notebook Pro 9 = Simply Worth It!

I've been searching for a new computer for months.... and I found a lot of great ones but they all sacrificed something. My needs were I needed a laptop for work but wanted one for gaming so the best of both worlds is what I was looking for. Luckily Samsung was thinking of me, I'd like to think, when they made the Notebook 9 Pro. First thing right off the bat, is the keyboard is the best I've ever felt. Smooth to the type and the keys feel great and just a quality build from top to bottom. Second thing I noticed was the plethora of specs that fit my every need. I7 and a NVidia 950 for the gamer in me and the power and battery life that I would need in a normal every day situation. Now one thing I want to give a shout out to is that I'm not crazy tech savvy and this laptop is easy! I'll give an example, I always have issues doing all the updates for the drivers etc. to take care of my units. With this laptop Samsung has Samsung Update installed and you literally just see a list of everything that needs an update or has an optional one. Than you can run that update by simply clicking Update all! Thank you now even I can take care of computer like I try my phone.
Seriously if your considering this against any other unit its definitely the best one I could find. Professional look plus good for the fun stuff you'll do on a laptop during the down time.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Inexpensive, Lightweight, Built-in speakers

I really like the notebook overall but the colors look washed out. Blue looks like green everywhere from Twitter to Skype. Hopefully this is not a hardware issue and Samsung will fix this asap ! with a driver or software update.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
