Are you supposed to remove the stickers covering the lens? The ones with the red and blue tabs.

Yes, definitely. They just are on to protect the screen in transport.

My battery only lasts about 3 hours, is that normal?

about 3 hours doing internet surfing, nothing very tasking

That's about right. It could vary based on your power settings. 3 hours of straight use sounds accurate.

How do I migrate my hard drive to my SSD

My computer does not see the SSD drive. Norton's Ghost does not have a migrate option.
Couple of ways. Use a program like Ghost or backup your data to a DVD or USB drive and do a clean install of the OS (preferred method). It will take some time but it will be better in the long term.

Can I clone a laptop HDD to an SSD or do I need to reinstall from scratch

I recently purchased a 256GB 470-Series SSD. I also recently purchased a new laptop (Win7 Pro). I was hoping that I could use cloning software to clone the HDD from the new laptop to the SSD, then replace the HDD with the SSD. However, I've read in several articles that this is not possible and perhaps damaging to the SSD, and you MUST install Win7 from scratch onto the SSD. Can you please advise as to the best approach? Thanks!
Tags: hdd sdd cloning
It's possible although I would recommend it. Plus a clean install verifies you have the right drivers, etc...

MZ-5PA256A SSD Installation in Tower Case - Connectors

I have just received this model SSD and find that my standard SATA and power supply cables for tower-mounted SATA devices don't work in my windows-7 64-bit machine. Please provide me with connector/adapter information that I can purchase to make the connection.
Tags: power, adapter
It is a standard SATA cable. Check the length though. Should work pretty seemlessly. Enjoy the new speed!

can i upgrade my samsung laptop from HDD to SSD?

What laptop? Most laptops can be upgraded as long as you can get to the hard drive. Remember to have the restore media as well. Most laptops have a partition that you can restore from.

Why doesn't booting to the USB do anything?

I have a MSDOS boot-able USB that my computer recognizes. I used Samsung SSD Magician and successfully updated the USB with the latest firmware. When I tried booting to it, it just booted into Windows 7 again. What am I doing wrong?

Check the version of DOS. Probably a compatibility issue.

When possible, always go HDMI. Less cables to deal with and easier hookup! Plus the performance is better!

So iPad or Android tablet? Samsung has by far the best Android tablets out there. I love the size options. I guess you can't go wrong with either but if you're looking for a smaller size, go Samsung!
