Benchmark Check: Alan Wake in Review

 

Afraid of the dark? Around nine months after the Xbox 360 version, Remedy releases the mystery thriller Alan Wake once more, this time for the PC. We have tested whether the technology can keep up with the competition and how demanding the game is on...

With exception of the UL50VF (ForceWare 295.51) and the Xesia M501 (ForceWare 285.90) in each case we used the ForceWare 285.62 and the Catalyst 12.1 respectively as GPU drivers

Samsung NP300E5A-A01UB

 

A 15.6-inch widescreen (1,366-by-768 resolution) means that text and content can be displayed bigger and brighter, so that a child or an elderly person won't have to squint at it. It's large enough that you can tile two applications side by side and...

Very affordable. Core i3 processor included. 640GB of storage. Wireless Display 2.0 onboard. Very lightweight. Good battery life

Conservative design. Loud mouse buttons

The Samsung NP300E5A-A01UB's performance, battery life, and features set is worth more than the price tag would indicate..If your budget is severely restricted to very inexpensive laptops, then the NP300E5A-A01UB is certainly worth a gander.

Samsung Core i5 notebook

 

Fast, long battery life and fast boot time. Good for what student use except for one problem

Very Fragile screen!!! Be very careful with this, do not open by the edge and put NOTHING on top of the computer!! Be very careful putting in book bag especially if it might hit anything

Bad service when trying to get help

 

Bought this computer for school and just received it. Everything seemed fine right out of the box until I tried installing Microsoft office. Contacted best buy first with the problems they sent me to Microsoft and they connected me to a remote service...

Display was clear and bright

Very, Very, Slow. My 8yr old comp. is faster.

 

I would ask for different software other than windows 8. I am now using my 8 year old HP with XP, because my brand new Samsung 300E5C-A0C with windows 8 is so slow. Even though it has 4 times the memory. I really like the display screen though, really...

This display screen is great

I'm assuming it's windows 8, and not the hardware

Very Good Value (So far)

 

Overall (after 1 week) I feel this laptop is good value for the price. It seems to perform quite well, though for this price remember you are not buying lightning speed.Raised tile (chiclet) keyboard is really good, but there is a contiguous number pad...

display, battery life, no-smudge case, price

Windows 8, number pad

Broke on arrival.

 

I revived this for my son to open Christmas morning. He opens it and turns it on to a screen that's flickering. I turned it off and returned it for a refund.

Consumer review by:

worth the price

 

Overall this laptop is really good. I bought this laptop to replace my three years old HP Pavilion dv3510nr laptop. One thing I was concerned was heat. My old laptop would become very hot if it is used for more than 30 minutes. Even if it is left on it...

good price, comfortable keypad, runs smoothly
