Wonderful!
By Jimmy
Very sturdy, and well build. I really fail to understand the poor reviews.Pros:The laptop is very sturdy. it is not going to fall apart or break easily. I think that I will be able to get many years out of it. I saw one complaint about the cooling system, which I strongly disagree with. I never have had any heat issues, and the computer is normally very cool to the touch, and you can very comfortably use it on your lap without having to worry about the heat, no kidding, this thing gets no hotter than a paperback book! The fan never comes on, and when it does, it is very quiet. When I am playing 3D games, which this computer can easily pull off, The fan gets a little bit louder, and you can feel some heat, but this is very normal. It is still completely usable, and doesn't get that hot. The performance is spectacular on this machine, Programs launch very quickly, and games run smoothly. The Pentium Dual Core B950 is essentially an i3, minus hyper-threading and processor virtuialization. What this means is that is is slightly, but not noticeably, slower than an i3, and you will not be able to run certain virtual machines on it. You could not make a hackintosh out of this. (run OSX on it)If you don't know what these terms mean, don't worry about it, you wont ever need it. 4 Gigabytes of ram makes it smooth and fluid. I recently got a message warning me that I had not rebooted it in over a month, and it would speed up if I did. After a month, I still have not noticed any performance issues. It has been either on or "sleeping" the whole month. If you are using it as a student, great! All the MS Office programs open in about one or two seconds, which is pretty good, comparatively speaking. Aero runs smoothly, and the transparency effects are great! The keyboard is wonderful, I really like the design, as it makes typing really easy. it is similar to a MacBook keyboard. The trackpad is also great, It is large and easy to use. It also ignores when your palm goes across it when typing, a great feature. Again, It is very Mac-Like. (Samsung is the maker of Mac Keyboards, Screens, and trackpads. this is no coincidence!) The built in webcam is great, it goes up to 1280x1024. This is spectacular! it is very sharp, and vivid. it works well in low light. It is HD, too! The screen is anti-glare, and very nice! I really like it! The ports are strategically placed, which is a great feature! Oh, and the battery really does last 7 hours when you are browsing the web on low power mode. about 5 hours on "Samsung Optimized," and 3 on High Performance, for games.Cons:There are no lights on the caps lock, number lock, and Scroll lock buttons, it pops up on the screen when they are on.The caps lock is easy to hit accidentally.The back lid scratches easily, keep it in a laptop bag!

Waste of money....
By Flaccid Nut
I normally like Samsung products and I assumed this would be another good one, but boy was I wrong! I haven't even had this thing a year and I hate it SO DAMN MUCH. Only reason I'm keeping it is because I'm too broke to get a new one.For the first month or so, this thing ran great. After that, it started acting up. Keep in mind I don't do anything on this computer except surf the web and read, I don't play video games, load movies, or watch too many Youtube videos etc., even though it says this computer is great for ALL of these activities, I don't do them and I doubt this piece of crap could handle the load.First thing is over heating. Now, I know laptop can get hot, especially if you use them for a while, but this laptop gets so hot sometimes I honestly fear it's going to explode.Next, the screen cuts off or on at random times! The worst thing is when you close the lid. On my other laptops, when I open the laptop, the screen cuts on. Not this thing! Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Really depends on it's mood. When it doesn't turn on, hitting the escape key, touching the mouse pad, hitting ANY key doesn't make the screen cut back on. You have to close the lid, and open it, and keep doing this until it turns on. I average about 4 turns before it finally decides to come on. I have no idea what the problem is, tried googling it, didn't get any results.Watching videos on this computer sucks. Although it claims to have a good video processor and graphics card, the videos look like crap and have the tendency to cut out or turn grey and pixelated in parts of the movie. I've updated my drivers and everything, still doesn't work right.Finally, this thing is SLOW AS A SNAIL. I don't download much, and I always go through routine defragging and using CCleaner to keep things running. For my other laptops, this worked fine, not for this POS. I don't download much and when I do, it typically e-documents that don't take up any space. Hell, right now as I type this it says I'm only using 29% of the space available on my PC!This thing sucks and I regret buying it. Worst laptop I have owned.
