We've had this laptop for almost two years and have had no problems with it. I still haven't, however, gotten used to the mouse pad but with a purchased wireless nano mouse this has not been a problem. It is adequately fast for a laptop, has been durable, and, for our use, has adequate capacity. The only negative we have is my wife (an account) does not like the non-standard layout of the numeric keypad. Other than that, it's been excellent.
I needed a new laptop and Samsung seemed to be the brand to buy, with Google choosing it to make its netbooks and great reviews for its displays. I narrowed it down to several models, and I would have bought a more expensive one but my friends thought the prices were too high, so even though it's my money, I guess I caved and "settled" for a cheaper model. I can't say I've been disappointed.
Windows 7 is taking a while to get used to, but that's the OS and not the computer. I had a WiFi issue early on, where I could connect at home but nowhere else. I called Samsung support from the coffee shop and an American guy helped me. I had heard Samsung laptops often have Wifi issues and feared I'd have to return mine, but after a very long phone session, he had me update something and, voila, I have had no issues since.
The machine is perhaps a little larger and a little heavier than I might want, but it's also a lot cheaper than the ultralight ones, and it's not like it's a brick. Plenty of USB outlets. I only used the CD drive once and it was slow and noisy but since I rarely use it, I don't much care.
I started looking for a second laptop to use for my machine embroidery programs and files. I knew what I wanted in a laptop and this Samsung had it all and the price was right. I compared the features of this Samsung with a lot of other laptops. Some did not have comparable memory, hard drive size, speed and well, the total package. I had just so much money to spend on this venture and feel I found exactly what I wanted. Some laptops did not even have a CD drive, some only had one USB port, this one has three and they were priced too high. The Samsung I purchased came with Windows 7 OS, full software. I did not have to go online and buy something else to use it. I have nothing bad to say about this laptop. It is equipped with everything. I would suggest those that are thinking about buying a laptop, please compare all of the individual features each have, within the price range you have. You can not go wrong with this Samsung laptop!!! Happy computing!!
This laptop i bought for my girlfriend when her computer broke down, it has exceeded expectations she loves it to death, great performance and battery life, fast and reliable, would deal with this seller again!
