Great build + feel, but fuzzy HD res for 15"

Pros: Great build + feel, keyboard and trackpad are first class. Quiet keys with just enough travel for an ultralight, ultra thin laptop. Screen is very bright and high contrast as AMOLED. Cons: Only 1080p (FHD) - it's really too low resolution for a 15"+ screen, fuzzy view all the way. 16:9 aspect ratio is outdated, doesnt work well for web browsing or productivity (which will be the main purpose for most people buying this, not video watching - you'd just get a tablet for that).
Request to Samsung: Please make a 16:10, QHD screen version of this! (at least as an option to upgrade from FHD). I know 4K is too much for battery purposes, but only FHD is a shame, mars an otherwise awesome product. Also, it's great that it's extremely thin but it'd be fine to add a small amt of thickness/weight for more battery to offset the power for a QHD screen.
For comparison, I also tested an LG Gram 16. The build is not as rigid/solid, keyboard is much worse, but the screen is far better with crisp text and 16:10 display.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Keyboard too sensitive.
on December 13, 2022

Expertise:Expert
I really hate and regret buying this laptop. The keyboard is incredibly sensitive and results in too many unwanted screen selections or screen freeze. There are no hardcover laptop protectors available and limited softcover ones. The laptop is VERY fragile. There is a small dent from a PEN falling on top. I wanted to try samsung laptops since i heard there were great reviews but the quality is so poor and the keyboard sensitivity is so ridiculous it makes me want to fling it out the window. As a grad student I use my computer every day so this has been a frustrating experience.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Features
on September 11, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this computer for about a week now and am loving it. The fact it has the extended keyboard with the number pad was a huge win for me. I love the edge to edge screen, no wasted space. It was an easy set up so I could get up and go. I upgraded from a chromebook so the size difference of the screen is fantastic but it's so slim, perfect for transporting
I would recommend this to a friend!

A great battery Life but not touch screen
on July 7, 2022
Posted by: Olvimar
the problem with buying online is that you can't feel the product and this laptop feels made of very cheap materials. i thought i was buying a laptop with a touchscreen because it was pro model and the price, but it wasn't. the most positive thing i see about this laptop is the battery life, that's not disappointing
