"This laptop is very functional. I use it for my job, for gaming, for surfing the net among other things. I have not found any problem with it at all. With Win 8 it is great, even being the first time I was exposed to the OS."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight

Cons: haven't found one yet!

"I did a lot of research... was looking at gaming laptops.. after all the frustrations with pc's-sound not able to keep up with videos and then eventually freezing, I was convinced you have to pay more! I've replaced the video card, more ram, updated drivers professionally and both of my computers still don't work! I've been wanting a portable pc of some type and I found it at a very reasonable price! I love the anti glare screen, it wasn't mentioned in the specs! Also, F5 locks the touchpad if you use a mouse! I am very happy with the keyboard and I needed ten key! This Notebook is not too small, lightweight, not bulky and beautiful! It has everything and it's fast! Do not look any further... I can't imagine needing any other features! Determined to learn all about Win 8! Thank you Samsung!"

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, anti glare screen

"This product is excellent and I must say the build quality and look are a nice add-on. The price was right. The only thing is I wish the memory was bigger to allow 16GB and the hard drive I feel should have been 1TB in this market where others are putting it in standard. Still I'm very happy with the product."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Lightweight

Cons: screen could be clearer

"This laptop feels very well built and the design looks great. Only flaw is an occasional unresponsive touchpad, which can be frustrating at times. The keyboard is easy to use and having the number pad beside the keyboard is a big plus."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Durable

Cons: unresponsive touchpad

"This laptop has been just great for me. There are very few complaints about the hardware besides the video card, which could have been much better considering the year we are in now. Ram, cpu, and even the speakers are absolutely top of the market(for the price range that they are), there are really no complains from my part aside from the aforementioned video card that could at least sport more than 32 mb of dedicated memory."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Lightweight

Cons: video cards could have been better

Samsung NP550P5C-A01UB Touchpad Issues

PostedJanuary 18, 2013

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedJanuary 18, 2013

"This would be a great machine if not for the touchpad issues. The touchpad randomly stops responding. It's very frustrating. Other than that, the machine is comfortable, and had the best sound quality of any laptop I've tried. JBL speakers make this exceptional for listening to music. Unfortunately, the touchpad issue is making the decision to keep it almost nil. That much frustration makes this laptop useless to me."

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

Cons: Did not meet expectations, poor touchpad response

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
