We wanted a laptop with some more options than our old 2006 laptop but we were not ready to spend a lot. I read some specs. and decided that the Samsung had a good value and price for our daily use. This laptop is going to be used primarily by my wife so I wanted something not very complicated and easy to use by her, who will kept me away of being part of the matrix attached to the computer as a constant help desk. The size is an inch smaller than the former one. The weight is good enough for her to carry it. I transferred most of all her stuff from the old laptop through my network during the night and it was fast enough to be ready in the morning then I did the programs installations with the mandatory updates. Not so bad if you have some computer savvy.

I like this product. So handy and good features. After 9 months of use, I had a problem with the power meter, not registering the actual remaining time and needs to be fixed. I sent it to for repair and was fixed, now I am having a problem with my USB port which is not working.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, having problems after a few month of use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor Design

The mousepad edge has etched my screen. The screen flexes allowing screen to damage itself when closed. Very poor design which took a couple months to be a problem. Now they said it can be repaired, but I am unsure they will correct it so it cannot happen again. I'll keep you posted. Also i will be out of a laptop for 2 weeks because of poor design. Their problem is making me buy another computer.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, bad design, no bluetooth, no back-lit keys

Top of the line

If your looking for one of the best out there then yes, this is that notebook. With stats like 6gb ram, 2ghz processor with 'Turbo boost technology', 600gb hardrive, and intell i5 processor, you should expect to have a no-bull computer that is quick and snappy. On most days this computer will live up to those stats. The graphics card is average (which actually means its good considering that the average now is way ahead of older cards) so you may not always want to try all the settings on a program at max. This computer can be really pricey but it fits a double standard. It looks GOOD (makes hp look hideous) and it performs, so yes it will cost a bit more. Keep this computer safe from viruses, accidents, and junk and it will satisfy you for many years.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: quality is great but screen can shatter unluckily
I would recommend this to a friend!

Only Thing Missing Is Bluetooth

This laptop is great. I bought one for myself and one for my wife. We both like them a lot. Both of us work online from home, and so our laptops are our livelihood. We have been using them now for a month, and have had no issues whatsoever. I do with the laptop had bluetooth though for sending info to my cell without needing a cable. That was the one issue.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!
