It *is* a budget laptop after all, and the celeron will be sufficient for basic web browsing, word processing or video consumption, which is all it needs to do, really. Putting an i5 would have brought the prices up without any benefit
I wonder what sort of wireless adapter Samsung is including in the Flash. Barring any truly odd hardware configurations, a system with those specs ought to play nicely with common Linux distros. With those specs, it should be more than enough for light duties. The circular keys are a bit sloppy looking and I do wonder if its passively cooled. A cooling fan on that hardware seems unnecessary.
The 9 Pro looks great. Hope it's not limited to 8 GB RAM! Also, are we done with type-A ports on laptops, at least 1 would help with the drives we have lying around.
A first glance I thought it was made out of Alcantara, which would at least have felt nice and unique. Textured plastic in that colour just looks really off
Notebook 9 Pro has switched this year from EMR to Active Pen (AES)??? Why.. and it's exactly the same specs/size as the Notebook 9 Pen but for some reason half a pound heavier???

Pretty slow for a laptop named Flash.HStewart - Tuesday, January 8, 2019 - link
My guess a future based version of Flash will be Foveros based,Retycint - Thursday, January 10, 2019 - link

cant have a premium ultrabook and display is limited to 1080pInteli - Tuesday, January 8, 2019 - link
Why not? Frankly, I don't notice any pixels on my 1080p 15" notebook. At 13", you're going to have to use display scaling for sure.Prestissimo - Tuesday, January 8, 2019 - link
Nothing wrong with 1080p. HP's new EliteBook x360 830 G5 has a 1000 nits matte FHD displayTeckk - Tuesday, January 8, 2019 - link

The UFS / microSD Combo is interesting since there aren't even any UFS cards for sale yet. Guess Samsung will finally release some this year.zodiacfml - Wednesday, January 9, 2019 - link
