1. Wi-Fi connection frequently was slow or dropped altogether. 2. After power off/on, the Wi-Fi credentials disappeared and had to be re-entered. 3. After power/off on, DLNA media device has to be manually connected. 4. IMO remote control is a busy array of unintuitive buttons. 5. Remote control will only control a Samsung TV. Entering a code for another brand TV is not possible. 6. I did not like the user interface. 7. No power on LED on front panel. 8. No USB port on front panel. Notes: - I exchanged this for a similarly priced Sony BDP-S3700. The Sony does not have the aforementioned problems. - All Wi-Fi devices in my house have no problems with Wi-Fi connections - In 2014, I had same Wi-Fi problems with a Samsung BD-F6700 - Picture and sound qualities of both Samsung and Sony were about equal.

My biggest gripe about this 2-in-1 is the display. At slightly off angle, the screen brightness/contrast nearly disappears. This is particularly evident when using this 2-in-1 as a tablet when the tendency is to shift the angle of view while balancing on my lap or holding it in hand. Generally, I do not find the screen brightness too bad. It works OK in a bright room or sitting on my deck. At a fixed angle and in a darker room, the display improves. IMO text display is just fair. The above mentioned negative really drags down my opinion of this box. Keyboard is fine. Trackpad is one of the best I have used on a laptop. I do not generally like trackpads but, this is one that I can live with. A USB wireless attached mouse works fine. Wi-fi reception of my music files from my media drive work well in Windows Media Player. Occasional slowness and lag in a variety of apps/programs is common. I have had IE freeze several times even with few windows open. I think a minimum core I3 would help. I bought this on one of Best Buy's daily deals for $249. I do not think it is worth more than that. Despite my disappointment with this 2-in-1, I can live with it and I will keep it. The alternative would have been to spend >$400 on a Lenovo Yoga.
Epson inks are manufactured using a high-tech production process. Why? So you'll have the highest quality inks possible to put in your Epson printer or all-in-one. Specially formulated to work with Epson printers and specialty paper, Epson ink delivers superior photographic-quality prints with true-to-life color and laser-sharp text.Share your cherished photos with family and friends for generations to come. Combine genuine Epson ink with Epson specialty paper for spectacular photos that will last for up to 200 years. Independent tests also show that Epson prints last up to 4 times longer than lab prints.Unlike some other inks, Epson dries instantly. And that means your prints are smudge resistant right out of the printer.Life is convenient with the individual ink cartridges because you only have to replace the color you need. If you're out of cyan, replace only the cyan cartridge and get back to printing ASAP.Do you print a lot or just occassionally? With Epson printers you can choose the cartridge that fits your printing needs. For example, with an Epson WorkForce printer you can choose the High-capacity cartridge, which prints about 50% more than the standard-capacity cartridge allowing you to replace your cartridge less frequently.
Enjoy a variety of free-to-air programs with this RCA amplified indoor antenna. Smartboost technology amplifies weak signals so that you can pick up television stations up to 40 miles away from the broadcast tower. Enjoy both UHF and VHF stations without paid television subscriptions with this RCA amplified indoor antenna.
I'm too far from the broadcast towers (20 to 30 miles?) for this set top antenna to work for me. The high def channels that I was able to receive looked great. I got more channels on the top floor near a window. However, I did not get enough channels to make this a viable option for replacing cable. I'll likely need a rooftop antenna. Be advised that this unit uses two telescoping antennas. Getting good reception necessitates moving their point of direction.
What's great about it: Excellent picture when it was able to receive a broadcast..

The Samsung has a front USB port. My original post was incorrect on this point.
