The Samsung 900X1B is a quite nice device. Thin, light and yet stable, this is very fast. Just such a device is ideal for mobile use, whether at home or away, as it fits in your pocket thanks to its compact dimensions and low weight. But here patzt Samsung. Apparently it was not possible to relocate the wireless antennae inside the aluminum housing so that a halfway decent reception is possible. Where any other device (notebook, smartphone) still has problems receiving that 900X1B fails completely. Already after a few meters go the throughput rates in a WLAN with 802.11n in the basement. Where the comparable devices still remain in double digits MBit / s range, the 900X1B dümplet around on modem speed. A few meters away, and the connection is completely interrupted. Why Samsung has not it hinbekommen where Apple plays with the comparable MacBook Air and more aluminum without any problems, is sometimes debatable. Maybe it is built on Broadcom module (some buyers reports of improvements by Intel modules, but there are contradictory statements).
So why buy a device that was originally designed for mobile use, one of the basic functions but not properly controlled? Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that this deficiency is at least for me a knockout argument, because the notebook is simply not suitable so for my purpose. Too bad ...
I therefore subtract two stars for the bad reception and a star for the fast indeed, but in the 11 "model but arg scarcely measured SSD.
