Samsung Note 9 Pro Laptop Apps

9ae Nice.

I upgraded from 2012 15.4 MacBook Pro, which still runs well but I needed the latest for my consulting project. This laptop is beastly in its speed and processing power. Display is superb and the battery life is 20+ hours every single time. I look forward to carrying this laptop without power cord when I am at clients' site or on the road. I am a management consult and hence usually use office productivity apps but I will need some serious processing power for database and BI apps like PowerBI and Tableaux. I think I have 10 times the processing power I will need. The price is high but in terms of value, it's going to be as good as 2012 MacBook Pro, which still is very good, after 11 years! So, this is a steal for those who are looking for the state of the art technology and the best long-term value!

This laptop stand is the perfect compliment to any MacBook Pro when it's being used on a desk. I'm using it with Apple Pro Apps all day, and having my MacBook Pro elevated helps keep everything running cool. The elevated screen also makes viewing more comfortable.

This is now the third Samsung 850 PRO SSD that I have purchased. First my laptop (7 year old MacBook Pro) now flies. Then the 3 year old Mac Mini boots in 40 seconds! I am now transferring the hard drive contents from my wife's 5 year old iMac and I expect fantastic results. Given the 10 year warrantee from Samsung I may never have to buy another! I have gotten transfer rates approaching 7 GB / Minute! JR

Works well on pro video apps

I am using it with a Samsung 980 PRO 2TB inside and so far no problems. I have not tested its speed yet. I bought it because I did not want, and don't want yet, to install the M.2 SSD inside my laptop - which has room for a 2nd SSD, since the laptop is brand new.

I bought my first Samsung Pro SSD around eight years ago, I think it was a 256GB. Then another for my other laptop. Then a 1TB and now a 2TB. Obviously very happy with all, I just keep needing more storage space and fortunately, Samsung keeps making larger SSDs.

Every SSD I add to anything is always from Samsung. From my laptop to my PS4 Pro it has never disappointed and now that I added one to my PS5 it continues to impress by far exceeding their minimum specs for SSD's and will continue to be my goto brand in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop is lighter than my Samsung tablet pro, but has more power and features...great buy for my wife.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally got my hands on the Samsung 990 Pro PCIe 4.0 NVMe and I am super impressed! I have always been a huge fan of Samsung SSDs and use them almost exclusively in all my computers/laptops. So the first order of business was popping it in my external enclosure and getting an idea of the speed and testing it out, I loved what I saw so much I immediately cloned my main SSD in my new PCIe 4.0 capable laptop and swapped those drives out! As with any M.2 drive the install was super easy and is usually just popping it into the slot and screwing it down. As for setup, I used a cloner to clone the OS and main drive to the 990 Pro. The laptop was already fast before the Samsung 990 Pro but it's smoking fast now, probably the fastest laptop I have had to date! The Samsung 990 Pro specs out as follows from the manufacturer: Up to 1400K/1550K IOPS Sequential read/write speeds up to 7450/6900 MB/s (near the max performance of PCIe 4.0) So what did I see so far? Well boot time is superb at ~10 seconds from power on to fingerprint and maybe 2 seconds from fingerprint to usable desktop! CrystalDiskMark testing comes in as follows: Sequential read/write speeds - 6963/4175 MB/s Random read/write speeds - 3260/2304 MB/s 796K/562K IOPS This is definitely a fast SSD offering from Samsung and I highly suggest getting out there and grabbing one for laptop/desktop/or even external use. For me I am using this as my primary drive in the laptop going forward as that's where the video editing happens!
