Customer Reviews

Good, but hindered by a few dreadful things
This is a good laptop which could have been great.

The good
It has a sleek and appealing look to it, the screen display is amazing and it delivers strong application power for its size. Lots of useful keyboard shortcuts and decent battery life (though this depends on what you do with it).
HDMI port, sd card reader and battery strength checker which allows you to see how much power is left without switching the unit on.

The bad
Samsung however spoil things by deciding that the consumer does not need certain obvious things; like sound. The result is the most dreadful sound card/speaker combination I have ever experienced in a laptop. You might as well be hearing the sound from one of those 'mcdonalds happy meal toys'. This flaw is glaringly still noticeable even when you connect to external speakers.There is also no physical volume control and the speakers are located underneath the unit.

There is no open button as with other laptops, which makes the unit impossible to open with one hand.

The power button is located way too close to the 'delete' button, but you could get used to this.

The 2.2kg weight given by Samsung does not include the battery. They should be clearer on this.

The AC plug inlet is located at the side of the unit next to the usb, making it hard to use a mouse sometimes. Would have been better at the back, out of the way.

Should you get it?
That depends; if sound is not too important to you, the I would reccomend this. If on the other hand you intend to listen to anything.....then I would look elsewhere.

I gave it only three stars because it seems Samsung started with a great laptop, then got rushed into finishing it and thought 'what the heck'. I am amazed that someone at Samsung actually thought it was OK to sell a laptop wihh such dreadful sound output. Shame; because it could have been an excellent laptop for the price.

Excellent Laptop
Bought for my wife's business, This laptop has a quality feel and the performance is excellent for the tasks she needs. Recommended. The usual great service from Amazon meant it arrived on time.
