I love how light it is. I take it everywhere and use it as my personal computer at home. The screen is great, although I wish it were full HD. It is very fast and feels like a premium product.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def

Perfect as a concept/display unit.

The Laptop has it's flaws that can only be noticed under personal use. A ton of heat is expelled off this unit doing anything other than browsing the internet with temps at 58C to 69C. Intake & Exhaust ports are located between the hinge and body expelling heat towards the screen while the Screen, having a restricted lean angle that confines you to about a little over 45 degrees in freedom and if you close the screen it will prevent proper ventilation. When playing audio any louder than "quiet" I.E. over 45% on the volume control; loud and annoying reverberations begin to oscillate do to the palm surfaces aluminum design and can only be subsided by resting your hands on the metal surface (This should be no problem, if you constantly keep your hands on the warm laptop. Is probably what the design team for Samsung thought...)
All in all this would be a great laptop if it was released in 2010.
Pros: Durable
Cons: Not high def, Did not meet expectations, flawed

Very nice ultrabook

Was looking to get rid of my bulky laptop and move into something smaller. This is the ideal size, weight and delivers everything I need in a PC. The new Windows 8 is smooth as well. If you already use apps on a smarthphone or tablet then migration to the new OS should be very easy.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: little pricey
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great features for an Ultrabook
on November 4, 2012

Just purchased this ultrabook this past week. When I went to look at ultrabooks, I was more concerned about features, and price than brand name. I looked at various brands at the store and settled on Samsung, because it had all of the features I was looking for in an ultrabook, at the right price point. I've been playing with it for over a week, and so far, I have found very little not to like about it. I guess you could say that my one gripe if any is the learning curve for Windows 8. It requires, a bit of finesse to master.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight

Minor issues
on November 19, 2012

Windows 8 is becoming easier to work with. My only gripes about this laptop is the lack of backlit keys, wifi is pretty spotty (confirmed with other computers present), and some of the accessories can be a little tough to find. Looking for the
"Mini-Monitor" VGA adapter right now, which I use for work all the time. Overall, it should work well for what I plan to use it for though.

Perfect for my daily needs

I had a choice and this was it and I'm happy with it. Great bat. life, great portability, good speed, nice screen. A few laggs here and there but it seems to be installed software not Samsungs fault although there is some poorly implamented stuff preloaded but you can get around that. *** All and all it's a good choice.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, good bat time.
I would recommend this to a friend!
