Very impressive feature to price point relationship, great performer
This laptop is basically Samsung doing their best impression of a Mac Book Pro. However the MAC book Pro with the same spec (and the Retina display) willrun you $2100.00 I bought this laptop for $959.I am completely impressed by the performance and styling of this laptop and very satisfied by the performance of this machine. I use this PC for some demanding applications. The i7 quad core processer coupled with a dedicated GPU in a ultra-thin portable machine with 8 gb ...

Solid laptop once kinks are worked out!
I bought this laptop from Best Buy last week after initially going into the store for an HP. After seeing the specs on this computer, they came off to be very impressive. I decided to purchase this laptop before reading into reviews. I brought it home, unboxed it and started setting up Windows. The computer didn't even make it through the initial process before freezing and shutting down. I took it back to Best Buy and the Geek Squad told me the motherboard fried. I made a complete exchange and ...

Samsung laptop just what I needed
Samsung Series 7 NP700Z5A-S0AUS 15.6-Inch Laptop (Silver)It comes down to what do you want out of a laptop. The Samsung 700Z5B provided what I needed at a fair price. Went shopping for a good laptop with Intel i7, 6 to 8 GB of memory, and internal DVD. I became disappointed with the other brands. This laptop is fast, light weight, does not get hot like some HP laptops do. Love the backlit keyboard for early morning work. I don't mind the touchpad since I always use an external mouse. ...

warning
THis computer is overall a powerful machine but has two significant nagging problems that would discourage me from recommending. First, it has an ambient light sensor to adjust the screen brightness and backlight for the keys. THe problem is your screen blinks almost every second trying to adjust to the light and it drives you crazy until you just turn that feature off. Have asked others and everyone turns it off pronto.Second and more serious problem is the touchpad. It is awful....

awesome in every way
Don't know why another reviewer hated the touchpad. I'll admit that there was a learning curve there, but worth it! Great display, great specs, cool and quiet operation. Not sure there is a better combination of utility and style in the Windows world when it comes to laptops, especially at this price. Hopefully stability and durability will live up to this early assessment.

Disappointing
First off let me state that hardware wise this laptop is very good, that is not the laptops failing at all. The problem lies in the touch pad and the screen. From a 1600x900 screen res I would have expected a much clearer and more crisp image. The screen looks very washed out and until I adjusted the Saturation of the colors it looked even worse. The touch pad is the biggest problem it is very sensitive and while typing I frequently touch it on accident and it cause the screen to switch. Perhaps...

Very disappointing!
Pros: Attractive and sleek-ish. Backlit keyboard is nice.Cons: I thought that this computer would be as fast as lightening, with all the bells and whistles. It's not. It's only a bit faster than my clunky, slow computer. It was pretty disheartening when, within my first hour of using it, I got the dreaded spinning wheel while it loaded simple, lightweight web pages.The keypad is awful! You can't adjust the sensitivity, and it makes your curser jump all over the page. ...

Sleek as a seal but...
My problem with this computer is that three days out of the gate it began to hang during the boot-up. The process would go: Samsung logo, Microsoft logo, Windows start-up, black-lighted screen, hang. At this point, after several minutes of a blank screen, I started to manually shut down, and re-boot. It always booted-up when I tried a second time, but why continue to take a chance on a computer with such a flaw? Better to start over with fresh software. I returned it and bought an HP.

Not a user friendly Laptop
Well, it acts like a smart laptop with the auto dimming and an overly sensitive touch pad that grabs everything on the screen. I attempted to adjust the touch pad sensitivity unsuccessfully so I decided to buy a wireless mouse and disabled the crappy touch pad when I use this laptop. The speakers on this laptop is less than adequate. If your daily life isn't frustrating enough, get this laptop and it will keep you busy adjusting the LCD brightness just so you can see what you're doing. A few s...

Samsung does it again :)
This is the third generation of Samsung laptops, and I had a second generation one as well. The good news is that Samsung listens to users and has improved their customer service. For example, the first and second generation laptops did not come with a recovery disk, this third generation DOES. The screen resolution is higher (second gen was 1366 x 768, this one is 1600 x 900), the keyboard is backlit, the processor is WAAAY faster, the body is aluminum instead of plastic, WiDi, USB 3.0, Display...
