I switched from a MacBook air to this touch enabled series 5 notebook. It runs great after I added another 4gb of ram to it. Touch screen is very responsive and works awesome with Windows 8. I shopped a lot of ultrabooks and for the price this one is tough to beat!
So far I love everything about this Ultrabook. Received as a high school graduation present and perfect for my future college use. Compact size, build quality and features are all A++.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

My Samsung Series 5 13.3" Notebook is everything I wanted in a portable device that I could write on, where ever I am, when I have the time.
My only frustration was problems with the Touchpad activating regardless of having it "disabled when a USB" device was attached.
I realized this problem was concurrent with having a particular browser installed. Since uninstalling that browser, I can smile again and enjoy my new machine on the go.
was slow and tedious. Although I got it at a great price, it was not worth it. It could have been because it was returned to the store and the item had been used before. It was suggested that i also add 4GB memory to it. As stated in one of the reviews, perhaps that would have made the difference.. This computer just didn't work for me and I returned it.
Very good product but held back with slow hard drive

This laptop felt great in every aspect but was occasionally hampered by the slow hard drive. Switched it out for a SSD and it is now lightning fast. Everything else about the laptop is great. Definitely not the lightest laptop but it is a good size for portability. Good laptop if you're seeking an everyday machine with average performance.
