Great Machine

"This is a well designed home or business machine. I love the solid keyboard and the simplicity of the design. The only gripe I have is that I would expect a computer that comes with WIDI to have blue tooth as well and the screen could be better coming from samsung. It is much to dim, the color is washed out and the viewing angle is limited. I have considered the Chronos for an upgrade especially in the gaming arena but I can't justify the cost until the screen is higher quality as it suffers from the same issue."
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, simple design
Cons: color is washed out, screen is not very bright, no bluetooth

"I really like this (notebook) which is what they call it..but it is more of a laptop series....it has a dvd, blueray drive, and usb 3.0 ports...which Im sure they are already being used, or will be used in the near future, only thing I dont like is the sound could be a little louder...maybe it's just me getting older and cant hear as good...but I would like it louder...the screen is awsome...after all Samsung is the world leader in LCD screens...which is why I also have a Lcd screen for my home system...awsome graphics, and alot of ways to adjust it...
Nice job all the way around Samsung,,,,,thanks for the great products...
Kenny"

"The performance has been nothing short of excellent.
I do however have a few complaints.
It has overheated a couple of times since I've began to use it ( the single vent for output of heat is a serious design flaw). I just make sure to not cover up the vent and I will be buying a cooling pad. The screen itself is not very clear but its negligible. Outside of those there are no more flaws. You wont notice the 15.3 inch screen vs the traditional 15.6.
The 2nd gen I5 is exactly what I thought it would be.
The laptop came with only 4GB of ram I doubled mine to 8GB and I'm loving it.
The webcam has pretty good clarity for skype or whatever webcam chat you do.
The booting takes about 20 seconds( really fast)
Windows 7 need I say more

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

Really good second computer

PostedDecember 18, 2011
"This is a fantastic computer for the price. It has a nice sized hard drive, fairly zippy processor, and good battery life. I've also been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the on-board graphics chip and built-in speakers. Sure the speakers are not ever going to be confused with stand-alone's but they do a pretty good job and the graphics are good enough for most mainstream gamers. I do wish is had come with a blue-ray player/burner, but the resolution for the screen caps at 1366x768 anyway, so you wouldn't quite get the full resolution out of a Blue-Ray DVD anyway. The keyboard is also something that I'm trying to get used to...the keys are nice and springy, but I prefer a more traditional key style rather than the "chiclet" form of this keyboard. Of course, it seems like almost every notebook computer out there now has this style of keyboard, so I'll get over it. All-in-all, though I am extremely happy with my purchase of this computer and have already suggested it as a possibility to friends of mine in the market for a new computer."

NP-RC512I Notebook: Great Features and Performance For the Price

PostedDecember 12, 2011

PostedDecember 12, 2011
"Excellent performance from an i5 chip for the price. The built-in WiMAX capability is a plus since I had already subscribed to a WiMAX provider. USB 3.0 ports are also great to have when backing up/copying files to another USB 3.0 device. Overall I am very happy with this notebook including the graphics performance although it may not suit a hard core gamer's requirements. The only suggestion I have is that the graphic chip/card would be upgradeable to the higher graphics chips/card found on other models of the RC512"
