Hi guys! I need an ultrabook with long battery life and with a matte screen. I chose two models:
1) This Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon
2) Or This Samsung Series 9 (2012)

They are both very good, but what is better?Which would you choose? :shock:

None of these.

Money wise you are in the Macbook Air territory, so buy the Macbook Air.

Between the two I'd say Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Do have a look at the Macbook Air as well as others mentioned.
