The windows PC to beat!

I test drove a Spectre "15," Dell XPS "15," and the new MacBook Pro "15" with the touch bar, and none can compare to this beautifully engineered masterpiece by Samsung. Now, nothing against HP they make a fine computer but it seems that Samsung really payed serious attention to detail to when they designed this computer. The track pad is very Mac like, in fact the pinch to zoom is actually smoother than The Macs, yes that's correct, than the Macs! The dual band wifi (which Apple lacks) is strong, and the port combination is fantastic. The S pen tucked underneath the laptop is really cool and the pen itself works effortlessly and flawlessly, the best pen support of any machine out there, yet. The screen is 1080p but really pops with sharp detail. The nicest 1080p screen I've ever seen on a laptop. It even rivals most 4K screens I've seen which let's be honest, is difficult to discern between the two. The SSD is blazing fast, load up was around 7 seconds, and windows hello on this machine works more reliably than the other Windows machines I've used. The keyboard is amongst the best I've typed on and unlike Apple, no gimmicky touch bar to drain your battery and freeze on you. Not to mention affect your typing experience. The Radeon Pro graphics chip is nice, a cut above the Nividia 940 GTX and the i7 can handle almost anything you throw at it. It has 16 GB of DDR4 ram which is a step up from Apples outdated DDR3 and 2GB of DDR5 on the graphics card. The computer is dead quite when doing most basic task. Even when I pushed it with a few games it was quite. Very impressive Samsung! There was another guy on here who mentioned that the battery only lasted him 5-6 hours. Now, I'm not sure how he uses his computer or what settings he has his computer at but I am averaging over 12 hours just doing basic task like web browsing and office. When I YouTube and browse the web I was seeing between 9-10 hours with the screen at 40% and the keyboard light switched off. With it on and the screen set to "recommend" I was seeing around 7 1/2 to 8. I'd imagine if you are doing more intensive task like photo shop and cad you'll average around 6-7. This is perhaps the finest laptop I've owned especially given the price point. I've yet to have an issue with it and quality is out of this world superb. I want to say the shell is a magnesium like what you'll see with the Mac. They feel almost the same. This one feels much lighter, especially for a "15." I would recommend this superb masterpiece to everyone who is in the market for a new laptop. For the money you can't beat it. It far exceeded my expectations. Samsung has really stepped their game up and Apple better watch out. This is coming from a life long Apple user. But since Jobs died Apple has lost their way. Overpriced machines with outdated equipment and lack of innovation. I will never buy another Mac again. Apple bricked their machines and made them impossible to upgrade. I am a tech enthusiast and take my advise, this computer beats the new Macs by a mile, and they are more affordable and just as reliable, If not more. This is a true gem.
