Had Been Looking For Years!
on December 8, 2011
Posted by: ShadMan29
I came from Samsung Vio VGN-FZ140E. Needless to say I was in need of an upgrade. I had it narrowed down between a few and then the Series 7 came out. Done deal! Love it! Start up is amazing, backlight key is terriftic. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the mouse pad. It needs to be a few inches away from the keys and is super sensitive. I'm sure there is a way to change that. However, for the money I would totally recommend this Laptop!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: mouse pad
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am very pleased with Samsung.. overall, I just wish it had the above two features. This is a dream machine and I would recommend it to anyone!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: needs blue ray and better wifi adapter

Excellent laptop with fast speed and long battery life

This laptop is by far the best I have ever bought and I bought quite a few. The performance is excellent super fast start up and the battery life is unbelievable. I had it unplugged for 5 plus hours while I was downloading and surfing the web at the same time and still had life in the battery.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Product

Great laptop, worth every penny, only a few issues to note:
-keyboard is a fingerprint magnet (not really that bad)
-the bottom half of the housing is made from plastic, not aluminum like the rest of the housing
-the space bar is a little iffy, it recognizes presses only about 2/3 of the time (easily fixed by inserting a square piece of paper under the bar)
- vga adapter was not included
Overall a great laptop, and one of the best purchases I made

Samsung Series 7 15.6"
on February 16, 2012
Posted by: Aki05

Overall, this is a laptop with the right idea, Light weight, longer battery light compare to MAC Pro. Fast booting up but a few of the features were poorly executed and they can potentially take away all the luster of this laptop.
con is the mouse touchpad. This laptop's mouse touchpad is not in the center of the laptop. The actual material of this mouse touchpad is not smooth like many other touchpads. It is prone to more friction and becomes harder to use as time goes by. I like to effortlessly glide my finger across a mouse touchpad. However, this touchpad causes unintended taps/double-taps and palm clicks. There is no option for palm-detection. Furthermore, the entire touchpad presses down like a button, yet it also functions for touch so the cursor jumps/moves if you're trying to click on a particular area because it will recognize your finger moving slightly when pressing down. FAIL.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, long battery light
Cons: Not high def, touch pad on left hand/ no responding sometimes., plastic back
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Laptop I've ever had

THis computer looks cool for starters, In addition, it's fast and is able to multi-task with ease. Burning CD's is a breeze and the Samsung software hub is a welcomed addition.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

cooling fan issue
on February 22, 2012

Expertise:Expert
The overall experience is great.
Light, fast and with back-lit keyboard, that's what I wanted from my notebook. And battery life is amazing. I did a 4 hours (repeated the process several times) in a Norton Ghost backup and when I noticed I was running on the notebook battery I froze. It was still having 40% juice.

One thing happened though, a fan from inside went wrong and started vibrating. I set the fans to run as low as possible, but the noise started to bother. I called service and they said I have to send notebook to them to replace the fan. I ended getting a spare fan myself and replaced it.
When opening the notebook, which BTW voids warranty, so assume this if you open yours, I also upgraded to Samsung SSD 830 512GB drive. Now I have my dream notebook and everyone who sees it has something to say about it's sleek appearance.

Cons: noisy fan issue, wish for an even more powerful vga card

Nice computer for the price

Like the key board that does not take much effort to push keys. Lighted keyboard is cool. Only negative right now is that the design, edge of the computer, where you put your wrists, the seam of the housing pulls the hair off of my arm. Just a bit annoying. May just put some tape over it.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Realistic color, slim
