Well... This obsession first started while at CES in January and compiling an article on my Acer Timeline laptop.  Every now and then I would look up to catch a glimpse and chuckle from the vast majority of those typing away on their Mac, Apple, Air or whatever we are calling it today.  I swore that next year things would be different.  I was on a tour of the Samsung booth later that day when I glanced over to see a thing of sheer beauty, the Samsung Series 9 laptop.  For a moment it could have been a scene out of 'Casablanca as our eyes (or rather my eyes and its webcam) met.  In several years of fine tuning my choice of laptops, I never imagined such a thing might exist and believed that, well, I was in the midst of perfection...until...

Fast forward to a week or so ago when the Series 9 laptop was officially released in Canada and I, believe it or not, stood in line on a cold wet morning waiting to be the first....and I was.... I was like a teen who had arrived at 4am to be the first to get a rock concert ticket for their favorite band.    If you would believe it, I even went so far as to take a full day off work to get to know my new love and, well this is where the story dips.
