Fast, Snappy, and plays my games.

"I have fallen in love with this laptop. The integrated graphics are enough to play the games I love without lag or a low framerate. The one thing I have to disagree with on this laptop is the flimsiness of the screen. The screen feels as though a plastic spoon could be shoved through the back of the screen. The plastic must be very thin, and I just don't like that."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: screen is flimsy

"I'm a Samsung fan. After over a year with the laptop and more with other products, I wouldn't switch to any other brand. Their longevity stands above all others and the online support is really helpful when you get stuck."
"I let my wife pick this laptop out. I bought another brand first and right out of the box it crashed. Went and swapped it out for the same kind and the same thing happened. She picked this one because of the display setup and its many features. With its 640gb hard drive I was able to do a dual boot install with the recovery disc on one setup for the wife and did an upgraded OS on the other for me. Awesome Deal"
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, tons of good updates

"For what I paid for the laptop, it has more than exceeded my expectaions. I was looking for something cheap and and fast, and this fit the bill. The only thing I don't like are the number keyboard incorporated in the regular keyboard area. Not sure why they put them there other than to fill space because of the size of the screen. I'm pretty sure I'll have to have the buttons on the touchpad fixed/repaired soon. They haven't held up well at all. Finally, the built in Mic is not good at all. It is poorly placed, and does not work well at all."
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: number keyboard incorporated on keyboard, touchpad button quality, built in mic quality

"This is my first Samsung computer I just wanted to try one based on my personal satisifaction with all of my other Samsung purchases, so far it really proves to be as good as any other of the computers that I have purchased in the past, I was in fact partial to one other brand and had absoultely no problems with them but I have really learned to trust in Samsung, Wonderful Machine"
"I am really impressed with the fast processor of this computer. The design is good as well but I wish that the keyboard lit up. Also, it would be nice to have a better sound system."
"Great ! Everything u could want in a laptop. Great built in software, Great speakers, great hard drive memory."

I love this laptop

PostedOctober 13, 2011
"The Samsung RV520 has everything I was looking for in a laptop and then some! I had zero problems starting it up, the Core i3 processor is lightning fast (can't even imagine how much faster the i5 or i7 would be!) I love the keyboard...it's just like having a full-size keyboard with a numeric keypad on my laptop. The touchpad is a bit sensitive, but I quickly adapted to it and love the fact that it's the same color as the case. I use a lot of threaded apps, and have had zero issues. To top it all off, the screen is amazing! Gaming is fan-tastik!!! I would recommend this laptop to anyone who needed a solid laptop with great graphics."
"This Laptop is stylish, lightweight, and large. (15.6 inches) It turns on extremely fast, almost only 15-20 seconds. It also sports a full-size keyboard, which is amazing. The i3 processor is great for about everything, although I wouldn't depend on it too heavily for serious gaming. All in all, this is an amazing laptop."
"This is the best laptop that I have owned. The speed is great, the picture quality is terrific. Downloading is fast and super easy, and that says alot coming from me. I am not a computer savy person. Everything that I have done so far has been easy with step by step instructions. I would recommend one to everyone."
"Just bought brand new from best buy. For the price i thought it would be the best for me. It turns out it is. Samsung has always been a quality brand and it continues with my laptop. It came loaded with all the newest technologies and while setting all up was very easy and had no trouble. The look to it, is one of kind and has a very innovative look. I look forward to continuing to use this product."
"This was my first laptop and really like it. I am really liking it in all aspects. some people said the wireless was not good but i bought it and i didn't have any problems with it at all. The design is really amazing and the display too.. defiantly recommend this to a friend. only thing i suggest is the battery can get better."
Pros: Built-in speakers
Cons: battery

"I bought this computer with the intent on purchasing something inexpensive for college. I was completely blown away by this little machine. The price is great considering how much processing power and technology went into this thing. Its fast, light and durable, PERFECT for a college kid who likes video games and that needs something powerful enough for solid works and word processors. All computers slow down over time and I'm not saying this one hasn't but considering all the stuff i have loaded on it, it should run much slower than it does. Its just an incredible little device!!! And its a Samsung so what could be better?!
(As you saw i put "It had to much bloatware i had to remove" most of this was not from Samsung but from the company i purchased from and its simple to remove.)"
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, easy to use
Cons: had a little to much bloatware that i had to remov

"I bought two of these for my children and they both think they're fantastic. It came with everything they needed and more."
"I bought this as a portable notebook. So far I like this as muchas my desktop. Actually it seems to do everything I want and more. Even the sound is good along with the clarity and speed. I am very pleased with my purchase. Samsung has always put out good products and I found out they also have great customer service. THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS"
"GREAT SPEED, BEAUTIFUL DESIGN, AND GREAT PRICE!!!!! WHAT MORE CAN I WANT FROM A COMPANY IN A LAPTOP....I ALREADY OWN A SAMSUNG TV AND A SAMSUNG PHONE, SO ALL SAMSUNG EVERYTHING!!!!"
"Only had the computer about a day, but it has been great so far! Purchased it after our old desktop (~8 years old) stopped reliably turning on. So the laptop and Windows 7 are all a new experience. Very clear screen and quick processor. Battery charged very quickly (only about 1.5 hours). Sleek design represents my husband and me well. Metal case feels more durable than the hard plastic--definitely a pro."
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color

"Its a great laptop! I use it for home use and school. I love everything about it...EXCEPT I don't know if its just the one I have, but I've only had this laptop for about 4-5 months and after the 3rd month whenever I plug my laptop in to charge it only charges to 80%....wasn't too happy about that.
Other than that I have no issues with this laptop."

"Right out of the box, I should have been able to access the internet. I already have a wireless signal, very strong, yet I continue to get certificate errors so I am unable to browse ANY websites at all. My other laptop has no issues with browsing the internet using wireless--no problem-- but the new samsung right next to me wont access. Again, I should be able to click and go...but cant. This was a gift and I was so excited...not so much now. Having certificate errors on EVERY web site is irritating. Geek Squad couldnt help on the phone or online, so now I have to go BACK to Best buy for them to figure it out...very very inconvenient....<sigh>..."
Pros: Lightweight, slimline, not a lot of excessive programs
Cons: out of the box could not use a feature (internet)

"THIS IS AN OK PRODUCT. IT SOMETIMES FREEZES UP WHILE PLAYING COMPUTER GAMES"
"I have the NP-RV520 and I love it the 15.6 inch screen isn't bad also. But the features could have been better but overall with the performance,design,640g hard drive and buy the way the sound is great. Overall 4 stars out of 5"
"I always have thought highly of samsung, but there are a couple of things with this computer that I absolutley hate. One is I cannot disable the mouse pad and it turns itself back on by itsself all the time and when Im writing a paper or typing something the mouse will start jumping all over and my typing is all over the place and I have to start all over. This alone is enough for me to trade the computer for another one. The other issue i hate about this model of computer is that there is no light on the keyboard telling me if the number lock is on or off . This is an issue that is very important to me for what I use the computer for. I am very seriously thinking about trading the computer for one that has these two things."
