This is what Windows 8 is all about

Laptops like this should have been available the day Windows 8 dropped. This is a beautiful, fun, powerful, well built machine. I noticed it as soon as Samsung displayed it at a trade show. I knew I wanted it and I am so happy I now own it.
The touchscreen with Windows 8 really adds life to the O/S and this Laptop takes full advantage of everything the O/S has to offer. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, powerful processor, incredible graphics, backlit keyboard
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everything that i was looking for
on April 28, 2013
Posted by: jwang
from Chicago, IL
Expertise:Expert
I searched high and low for a notebook/ultrabook that had everything i wanted. it has a fast quad core I7 with a dedicated graphics card. I can run multiple programs at the same time with and its slim compared to other laptops with similar specs. The touch screen is amazingly bright and clear with a full 1920x1080 resolution. The only thing i don't like about this laptop is that it only has a 5400rpm hard drive speed which is kind of slow...i wish there was a SSD option or at least a HYBRID version. The switchable graphics can be kind of annoying to do for each program but its well worth it to get great battery life
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, full 1080p touchscreen, powerful
Cons: non ssd/hybrid option, slower 5400rpm hard drive, price is a bit high
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beautiful design and look, Fast performance, Very happy

Expertise:Intermediate
This is a beautiful laptop. The design is aesthetically pleasing. The construction of the laptop is very solid. The bare metal finish and unibody is flat-out nice. The i7 quad core processor is really fast and the 1TB HD is big. The battery life is very good (6-8 hrs). The touchscreen is fantastic and the laptop boots up pretty quick. It doesn't have an optical drive nor an SSD drive, and the backlit keyboard is a bit temperamental, but overall this is a great laptop. Highly recommend it.
Pros: Bright display, Durable

Oh and I Forgot to Mention It Has JBL SPEAKERS INTEGRATED, WHICH ARE JUST WOW!!!

Great Windows 8 Computer for the Wife
on April 14, 2013

Expertise:Intermediate
I purchased this computer for my wife as her last laptop developed charging problems. My wife is truly enjoying this handy computer. Please keep in mind it does not have an internal drive for discs(CD/DVD/BD) so if you need to upload software or data from these you will need an external drive. The touch display is handy and well executed in this machine. So far the only complaint I have not been able to resolve for her is the placement of the touchpad and the fact that she bumps it while typing because of it's placement.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: price

A Good Overall Package
on November 10, 2013
Posted by: Pratard
from Atlanta
Expertise:Expert
This is a great overall package which has almost all the required features you are looking for in a laptop:
Good Sound
Good Graphics
Great processor
Good Memory and ample storage
And of course looks good too.
The only place where I felt it lagged was in absence of a DVD/ Blue Ray Drive and an SSD storage. But otherwise it performs great be it web browsing, gaming, watching movies, editing photos or videos or listening to songs. Overall great value for money.
