Well to start off with the pros, i7 quad core processor AND dedicated high middle class graphics card (radeon 6750m) i recently downloaded tera rising and im able to play that on max settings along with other titles like skyrim and saints row the third, two 3.0 usb ports makes transferring HUGE files a breeze.....the built-in express cache takes away those moments when you're in a rush to start work or get to your files, but for the main attraction is the size and the design of the laptop. I brought this baby to school and out of nowhere "awesome laptop", "looks sweet", "Thats a quad core?!?!" ....etc but i never expected for that to happen lol the back-lit keyboard made it alittle more flashy along with its Chiclet keyboard, i also like when i take my laptop out from not being used for an hour or so, its cold to the touch ^.^.
Now onto the cons or should i say con, the only real problem i have with it is the heating, it tends to get really hot when on my lap, i think its due to the lack of vents and the quad core processor but idk maybe if the bottom was also aluminum (able to absorb cool air) or it just had more vents it would be perfect but nothing is perfect.
I had high expectations when I chose this computer. It looks great, but is not as fast as I expect an I7 to be, and the trackpad is TERRIBLE. It does not work properly. I had read the same in a review, but hoped it was not true. Samsung needs to fix this!!! I am not happy with this computer at all......
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, bad trackpad
