[Help] Decide between which ultrabook

[diamond96]

Anyone able to advise which to go for ?

ATIV Book 9 NP900X4C - TECH SPECS | SAMSUNG

ATIV Book 9 - NP900X3E - TECH SPECS | SAMSUNG

From what I see the first one is which 15" screen that is bigger and 8GB of RAM.
But weight is at 1.65kg. As compared to second at 1.16kg.

Still which will be a better choice if were to chose ?
And what's the true battery life for both? (claimed 6-8hours.)

-Asus UX31

Else, 4th gen haswell:
-Asus UX301
-Asus UX302
-Samsung Ativ 9+

Need to use for poly presentation / work.

Have a question is that will 4GB and 8GB ram make a diff for ultrabook ?
Also Haswell will be more power saving i suppose ?

Yes, haswell is more focused on power

Depends on what you do... For me, 8gb is min. Presentation, 4gb is sufficient, unless your presentation has a lot of graphics, media. If you multitask as well...

Otherwise, 4gb is actually sufficient, along with a i5 processor for mainly handling of documents.

Thanks !
Can I also ask that
4 Cell (44Wh) vs 8 Cell (62Wh)

which will last longer ? Does higher cell count or higher capacity make the laptop last longer ?

I look at capacity.
HOWEVER, its mainly dependent on hardware power consumption, from HDD/SSD to screen size to processor.

Consider ativ 9+ instead in this case if ur pushing ahead with Samsung.

Myself, I'm pushing ahead with Asus, because of the graphics, ram.
