Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight

"I find this laptop to be amazing for the price, very light weight, fast processing of data, vivid and detailed display. My only issue with this unit, is the lack of a Blu-Ray Disc Drive, and upon searching for a Blu-Ray Drive on the site, I didn't turn up much information."
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, added an ssd for even more amazing speed!
Cons: no blu-ray drive

"A decent cheap laptop for games, played highly intensive games well! That's why I like it! Power on the go should be the motto for this laptop."
"I got this overclocked to 2.9 GHZ stable and 3.2GHZ benched using fusion tweaker (CLICK THE PICS BELOW) I upgraded the ram to 8GB 1600mhz, added a 1tb HDD (was going for SSD but too expensive), and threw in a blu ray drive from a dead laptop. After doing all of that I now have a WEI score of 7.3 for the processor, 7.3 RAM, 5.9 aero graphics, 6.5 3D graphics, and 5.9 for hdd. This notebook is on par with higher priced with a little tweaking and an extra hundred for the ram and hdd. I chose this over Intel based laptops based on budget restraints. With hours of research I chose an AMD APU over Intel because apu's have better graphics than Intels hd3k series at the same price point and the multipliers are unlocked. I am very happy with my purchase and surprised by the performance I can squeeze out of it. As a sidenote if you are unhappy about the webcam like me and others I would bet that the new 3xxxV5A model 1.3MP webcams would fit, I am going to replace mine if I can get one for a good price."

"Fast boot and the Samsung software included makes keeping the laptop updated is a great feature. Great product for a great price."
"I find this laptop to be responsive with great battery life. I can go more than half the day without having to charge the battery. Fast boot and the Samsung software included makes keeping the laptop updated is a great feature."
"When i first got this laptop I was expecting just a little thing to do homework with. But i have tried it with some games and found out it is fairly nice to use with games not too big of games but fun little ones. As for the performance it could be a little faster but over all its great for homework and videos and just can be a little slow from time to time but it always gets faster within seconds. The speakers sound very good just dont turn them up all the way if your listening to music."
"I bought this laptop just about a month ago and I can say that so far its turning out to be a great investment. I was a little off put by the price as I wanted to spend a $100 less, but I made the right choice when I coughed up the extra $100 and bought this instead of another laptop. The quad core processor blows away the laptop that I previous had for 4 years, the graphics are great and its power saving software is a nice addition ( the battery life on this thing is awesome btw).
Only cons that I have for it: When you shutdown the computer or when it reboots after an update, the wireless doesn't automatically turn on, you have to go into the settings to manually turn it on. Aside from that, only a few things that can be worked out in customization.
I'm traveling to South Korea soon, so I'm hopefully that the international warranty on this thing holds up in the country where Samsung is headquarter-ed and I know I'll be buying more Samsung products in the future."
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

"Its User friendly and got a lot of software perks. Samsung is a little slow updating the software that comes with it. Great notebook and well worth it."
