Excellent Laptop

I spent several months researching all the major brands before choosing this laptop. I waited until this one finally started to appear in stores. Well worth the wait.
I'm not a gamer, but I do some database design and needed some horsepower. Also, multiple apps going at all times.
Features I wanted and got :
15.6 screen -1600 X 900 display - Numeric keypad. -
Backlit Keyboard. (be careful - not all series 7 have this, check the F9 and F10 keys for the FN display). -
3.0 USB X 2. - Bluetooth / Wireless.- i7 Quad core -
6GB Ram (there is another model (S03) with 8 but this is upgradeable / no big deal.) - Light (5.05 lbs.)
Got everything I wanted.
Everyone else had some of these features, but always fell short in one or two ways.This is the complete package. Everything works as advertised.
Happy customer all around.

This laptop looks great, is light, and performs like a champ but for the price I was hoping for a full 1080p screen and maybe a blu-ray player but I guess I can't have one's cake and eat it too. It is designed perfectly, lightweight, slim, super quiet, and the fans being on the inside hinge of the monitor is a nice touch so it doesn't get hot on your lap. The automatically dimmed display is very convenient as well.
There are some problems with it though. Samsung's pre-loaded software doesn't interact with Windows very well and only adds a few advantages. Blu-ray, full HD, and wireless display all would have been nice options to add on as well. The speakers are not of the greatest quality either. The touchpad, while built with some nice features, is very delicate and the slightest touch can have you highlighting everything in view. Software to be able to control touchpad settings would have been another nice addition.
Overall, this is a sleek laptop with great performance. It seems perfect for business, but maybe not for the user wanting the full entertainment package out of a laptop.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def, no blu-ray
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great computer, fast startup, love the backlit keyboard, and it is very fast overall compared to my previous laptop. Only con is the touchpad, I don't like that it is not sensitive tomy touch. Maybe there is setting to change it that I do not know about but i feel like i have to press harder than I should to move the mouse.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: touchpad

Best buy for the cost

I have been looking for a replacement laptop for my Sony VAIO that had developed a short in the screen backlight leaving me with an unreadable screen. I wanted a replacement that had a backlit keyboard, better performance (went from dual core to I7), larger hard drive (went from 300 to 750GB), WiFi, USB 3.0 and Bluetooth 3.0. This system had it all and at a cost about 30% less than the competition. The only possible options missing are full HD (1920 x 1080) and a BlueRay drive. I do programming for Windows and Web-based applications and some game playing with WOW. I watch some NetFlix but am not that much into the BlueRay thing and the installed graphics are more than sufficient for my needs. All in all, an awesome system that I plan on using for at least 3 years.
Pros: Lightweight, awesome all-around features
Cons: Not high def

Great laptop!

This laptop packs an amazing amount of performance in an elegant chasis that is more compact than any other notebook on the market. Feature for feature, the Samsung Chronos notebook outperforms the latest Fall 2011 versions of other models available on the market! The vivid 1600X900 display, the superfast ExpressCache to speed up start times, the relatively light weight for a performance laptop - all make it hard for the competition to catch up. The only real drawback I can see is the Broadcom wireless n adapter is single band and so is limited in range and speed.
The icing on the cake is the long battery life - I can work continuously for 6-8 hours without running out of juice!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, long battery life
Cons: poor choice of broadcom wireless card, signal strength deteriorates rapidly after 10 feet, only single band 2.4 GHz wireless n so the 5.8 GHz band is not available
Cons: poor choice of broadcom wireless card, signal strength deteriorates rapidly after 10 feet, only single band 2.4 GHz wireless n so the 5.8 GHz band is not available
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, long battery life
Cons: Not high def, did not come with a vga dongle in the usa model

Good Laptop

Expertise:Intermediate
Overall, very pleased. Lots of bang for the buck. Display is fine. I like the aluminum case. Bottom is plastic. Spacebar doesn't work very well when pressed on the far right. Lip between plastic bottom and aluminum palm rest is pretty sharp - takes some getting used to. Mouse pad needs to be tweaked to be useful. Graphics card is glitchy. Old drivers - tough to update. Can't run Opengl programs on this computer which include lots of adobe software. Can't overclock 6750m.
Other than that this computer is awesome. Its light and has a great battery. Fan is really quiet. Build is pretty good and the bloatware isn't to bad.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def, can't use opengl
I would recommend this to a friend!
