The Samsung ATIV Book 9 Pro comes with a 15.6" 4K (3840x2160p) touchscreen display. Under the hood is a 6th gen Intel i7-6700HQ chip with cores clocked at 2.6GHz.

Furthermore the laptop comes with one USB 3.1 port (Type C Port) alongside three USB 3.0, 4K HDMI out, 3.5mm Headphone/Mic jack and a SD Card Reader. The Samsung ATIV laptop also features a Backlit Keyboard and weighs around 2kg (4.45lbs). Despite the high end specs, the disappointing part with the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Pro is the battery as Samsung claims that laptop can deliver upto 6.5 hours of battery life. However its low battery life is natural considering the fact that the laptop features a power hungry 4K display and an Intel i7 SoC. Do note that the standard laptops have a battery life of around 3-4 hours.

Alongside the Book 9 Pro, Samsung also launched a two-in-one dubbed the ATIV Book 9 Spin. Apparently the hinge of the laptop can be rotated all around (360 degree) thereby allowing you to use the device is either of these three modes - laptop, tented screen as well as a tablet. The display of the ATIV Book 9 Spin is markedly smaller at 13.3" and features a QHD+ (3200x1800p) touch panel. Under the hood of this convertible is a 6th gen Intel i7 SoC with cores clocked upto 2.5GHz.
