It's time to give Samsung 900x3c
With a Samsung 900x laptop, I had a real romance. I liked the device so much that, after the review I had written , despite repeated requests to return it, I was constantly delaying the parting under various pretexts. The main excuse was that I, say, had not yet completed testing, did not review the pre-installed software. However, in fact, I just liked working on this laptop, and the preinstalled software was so unobtrusive that nothing provoked me to figure it out. And so, recently it was updated, and I decided to climb up to see what was preinstalled there.
Pre-installed software
For three months of using the Samsung 900x as the main work computer, there was not a single situation where, for some reason, I would have to go into the device management programs to change settings or improve performance. I already wrote in the previous review that the performance of this ultrathin machine was enough for me to perform all the necessary tasks: editing video (Conopus Edius 6), layout and image processing (QuarkXPress, Photoshop, Illustrator), and talking about browsing and working in office applications there is nothing. There has never been a situation where the laptop would start to slow down, or it would hang when performing some task.

In its own pre-installed software, it did not impose itself on itself, as if it were not there. The only thing I did from the very beginning was to replace the pre-installed Software Loucher with the RK Louncher, which I have been using for more than 10 years, since the days of Win XP. Maybe it's in the habit here, and maybe RK Louncher is really better and more convenient than the pre-installed Software Loucher.
And I activated one more setting at the very beginning of using the Samsung 900x: I turned on the possibility of charging devices from a laptop via USB even if the notebook is in a dormant state. This is quite a handy feature, because in order to charge a smartphone from a laptop, you do not have to keep the laptop open. It is enabled in the Easy Setting application in the General settings section:
In general, the Easy Setting application, or Samsung Control Center, is a very intelligible program for all sorts of device settings. Everything is Russified and, I think, intelligibly explained even for the simplest user. About the functionality of the application, I think, much better I will say screenshots of its headings:
In fact, I do not know what to add to these screenshots. I did not have the need for the provided pre-installed software. Nout worked like a clock.
Aging
Everything ages and wears out. Three months is certainly not a time limit, but Samsung 900x also showed certain signs of aging. First, rubbing off the frame of the display was rubbed when the lid was opened slightly around the webcam.
Secondly, during use, two rubber legs-pegs have come off. I glued one of them back, but apparently the glue chose the wrong one and it peeled off again. The second, when it came off, I did not stick it anymore. I want to separately note that I managed not to lose both legs.
Next to the right rear leg, which was the first to fall off, a rubbing on aluminum has formed:
However, the case proved to be very durable. Not specifically of course, but by chance, about a month ago, the Samsung 900x underwent a crash test for me, falling from a bar stool, that is, from a height of about 100-120 cm, to a tiled floor. No damage to the performance after this fall did not happen, and the body almost did not hurt. Is that on the end faces formed two metal-cleaved, or dents. Far from immediately seeing them out, I thought that the Samsung 900x's very stupid end faces were not painted deep blue like the rest of the aluminum laptop case.
In general, the strength of the laptop after this fall deserves a solid 5-ku.
Autopsy
Considering the legs that had fallen off, and, in general, three months of operation, I decided, before giving the Samsung 900x to open it and see how much dust it had accumulated over the indicated period. It is known that dust is the main enemy of microcircuits. The back cover is fixed on several screws and removed very simply. That's what I saw under it.
Summarizing the autopsy, I can advise Samsung 900x users to remove the back cover about once every three months and blow the microcircuits, as I actually did.
That’s probably all. Thank you, Samsung 900x, you have served me well. Goodbye!
