"I have been using this product for only a month but still I am enjoying it's features..High quality pictures and fast browsing when connected to a WiFi..
but I have something to ask, my R540 is in hebrew fonts display I can't understand almost all of the text written because it is in Hebrew, can you please tell me what to do with it?
The windows 7 installed in there is in Hebrew text, the seller already changed it's Hebrew text before but when I used the Samsung Recovery Restore to fix some of my computers problem, the Restoration have brought back all the features in Hebrew...."

"This is my first laptop, but no my first laptop experience. So far I have had it for a month. Speed.. Excellent. Resolution.. BRILLIANT. I went to youtube, and did the 1080p test, and incredibly, it looked LIKE A DREAM. The keyboard on this is awesome. Some people write a bad review about this, but honestly its the best. You just need time to get used to it but its awesome! The only thing that i thought was bad was that... I ordered two of these, one had all the protectors on it, like the screen, mouse pad and all, but mine didnt. But it was brand new. Im the type of person that likes to keep them on till they naturally come off. The palm place is a very nice place to put your hands. I have had this on my lap for more than 5 hours, and still felt no heat coming out. Incredible! Low watt speakers tho, but not a biggy!"
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, confortable, just amazing!
Cons: couldnt be any

Quality build

"Never considered a Samsung laptop, since they only started to delve into notebooks only this year. But have read their reputation for building high quality netbooks and notebooks from CNET. It was either an HP, Toshiba or Samsung. I decided on the Samsung because of their rep for quality and reliability. HP's tend to be of inferior quality build compared to the higher end mfrs. Toshiba ... OK. Thought I'd give Samsung a try. So far not disappointed.
Powerful Intel i3 makes everything fast.
Nice classy, sturdy build. Glossy reflective gun metal case makes laptop look very classsy ... fingerprint magnet though.
Keyboard is wonderful. More precise feedback when typing fast, helps avoid mis-typed chars when your finger happens to accidentally rest on another key.
Independent numpad very useful.
Has HDMI, SD card reader.
Good clear, sharp resolution on a glossy screen.
Very little bloatware.
Overall, good laptop.

"This proves that you get what you pay for. This 15.6" was definitely at the low-end of the scale price-wise, and I should've shelled out about $200 more and gotten an i5 or better with a much better keyboard. My main complaint on this unit is the keyboard."
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, very inconsistent keys (some sticky some w no fb)

"The sound is super weak and you can't hear it unless it is turned all the way up (and then it is too loud). We haven't had it longer than a year and the battery is already shot (have to keep it plugged to use it now). We are thinking we should've gotten a tablet instead for the same amount of money."
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
