Samsung did a good job creating this laptop like all their products. It runs all applications as I need. Its boots every time. Its built in back up and restore software is amazing!
But there are a couple flaws. 1. Hard Drive, I bought it with the 300gb thinking I would just swap out a bigger one later as i need it. Well that didn't happen. I don't feel like taking the whole thing apart for a hard drive. 2. Windows 8 came out soon after I bought this. There is not a lot of current drivers and support for this laptop to upgrade to windows 8. Windows 8 WILL RUN and RUNS AMAZINGLY FAST. But to get there I had to install Windows 8 from the bios level when booting, format my drive completely then install the new Windows8. This was only because, some of the built in Apps provided by Samsung are not win8 completable. Not Samsung fault at all. Just took a couple tries and now Windows8 is on my laptop and I'm Very Happy With My Samsung. The other issue with the windows 8 upgrade with out formatting is that it make the windows.old folder and seemed to eat up a lot of extra space. With the upgrade I had lost 25 to 30 gigs of Hard Drive space. With a fresh Windows8 install, I recovered that space which I need hence the wanting to up grade to a bigger Hard Drive.
All and All. Its an awesome laptop. If you have a network storage drive or an external hard drive for Music and Video. This laptop is perfect as is. If you want all of that on the laptop with you at all times. You need one with a bigger Hard Drive or Find someone to do a hard drive swap for you!
