This is a good read on the Samsung Series 9 vs the Macbook Air, although a few of their facts about the Macbook Air are out of date (MBA was revised June 2012 and now has USB 3.0 and a few other goodies). I LOVE the Samsung and if I was buying a PC ultra book, it would be that one hands down, price be damned, but now that I am a Mac user, I am not going back... there is virtually nothing that can be done on a PC or Mac that can't be done on the other so it really comes down to the experience. For me, the single thing that sways me to Mac, or keeps me there, is the headache free experience - no viruses or spyware. That to me is worth it, I don't worry about visiting a sketchy site by accident when I am googling or anything like that and there is no obtrusive antivirus program sucking up memory in the background.
