Efficient Performer in a clean, lightweight laptop

This Samsung laptop has served me well. I work my laptops hard, as they travel with me to the various locations I find myself (I work for film and television) and it holds up in various types of weather and movement. I'm quite happy with it - a Samsung laptop is new to me.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Quality functions display performed much better then expected. Better than most off the shelf systems I've looked at.
Only downfall is the speakers can use a boost.
Cons: speakers

Love at first sight:)

I love my computer, every inch of it. The screen is very bright, the processor is super fast! I was thinking about getting a MacBook, but I chose this computer instead because the speed on this computer is faster than the similarly priced Mac, which has smaller screen size and is slower (i3 vs i7 processor). I love the keyboard, and the trackpad, although it took some time to get used to it. If you update to the latest version of the trackpad, you can use two fingers to scroll, three fingers to open files and four fingers to switch in between windows.
I've had this computer for a year. If you take care of the battery (unplug it once it is full, and use the only charge to 80% battery option), it will last you for 5 hours in Samsung Optimized mode (not Power Saver mode).
The audio is good. The camera is good and bright, but you need to use the Cyberlink YouCam software, and take the low-light compensation mode when you are inside the house.
The HDMI works well, and so does the CD slot, after one year. I wish I could understand what the other plugs are used for (there is one which is still a mystery to me, but I will find out).
I took this laptop into at least 5 different trips. I know the battery charger works in South America and Europe just fine. It was very lightweight, and skinny (it actually weights less than a book from College). This laptop compares to the Mac in that it is more light in weight than the 14 inches (and it is also less bulky), is faster, and is significantly less expensive. At 15.6 inches, it is ideal for taking around in a backpack or bag, it just fits in almost all bags without sacrificing the screen space.
Now, for some people it takes some time to adjust to the keyboard. My husband is always nagging me about this awkward keyboard because his PC has a different keyboard. Once you get used to it, though, it feels faster than a regular PC, and the mouse is much more intuitive. The keyboard has a numeric pad which comes in handy when you are filling out forms or applications, and when using excel. Normally, laptops don't carry a numeric keyboard like this one, and it is very useful and saves time.
I also enjoy the fact that it takes very little time to power up, and restart. When I close the lid and take it back up, I see what I was working on instantly. I don't have to wait around for the computer to load up after sleeping/hibernating, which is also great for energy saving.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, numeric keyboard, great battery life, 5 hours of battery after one year of use, 2 3 and 4 finger gestures in trackpad, switch windows with 4 fingers, scroll down and to the side with 2 fingers, fast performance, quick wake up from sleep mode
I would recommend this to a friend!

Well Built Bargain
on January 9, 2013
Posted by: MadisonPreacher

Expertise:Intermediate
I have owned many laptops, but none as well built as this one. The features and size of the memory and hard drive are generous, but it was the ruggedness of the computer that really attracted me. A computer that is in the shop is not helpful. I have even had another manufacturer decide to refund a substantial portion of my purchase price rather than to continue to service their laptop. They also said the piece on the computer where the power cord plugged in (which got very loose) was not covered by their warranty. It does not look like that will ever be a problem with this computer.
I have been a touch typist for many years and type at a high rate of speed. The keyboard is one of the best I have ever used. I am very happy with this purchase.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, keyboard
I would recommend this to a friend!

BEST COMPUTER OWNED!!!
on December 26, 2011
Posted by: 23milton
from Los Angeles
Expertise:Intermediate
The reason why I love this computer is because of its appearance and it ability to mimic a Macbook. For the specs inside this computer, this is by far the best value you can possibly get for what runs inside this thing.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: partition.
I would recommend this to a friend!
