I was taken

 

I bought this laptop BRAND NEW, from Newegg, but it came with dead USB ports. I have worked in manufacturing and I know that it is shameful if Samsung passed this unit without inspection, so either Newegg sold me a unit that needed refurbishing at NEW...

Product is great, it is sleek, LIGHT, powerful and durable. Go buy it anywhere else other than Newegg

the screen doesnot open beyond 200 degrees

Nice machine, good value

 

I bought this to replace my HP notebook that got fried by a lightning strike through the Internet connection (yes, it does really happen). I noticed some pretty negative reviews about this machine which I think are not deserved, at least in my...

My cell phone gets a better WIFI signal.

 

Very disappointed that Samsung Ultrabook has a weaker WIFI receiver then my Samsung smart phone. It is very frustrating and annoying. The battery life is only about two hours which sucks. The picture quality is awesome which is cool. But I do not...

Poor build quality and proprietary VGA

 

I was really enthused about this laptop, it had all the right ports for an ultrabook. But on first boot of the machine, immediately the = key was stuck on and emitting symbols, and the touchpad barely functioned. On top of that, the VGA port is...

just good

 

My daughter is using it but she has not complained yet. I hope she enjoys it. But one thing which we need is a cd-driver.

Consumer review by:

It needs a SSD upgrade

 

First of all, the speed of this ultrabook (Samsung Series 5, with 500G HDD) is much slower than I expected. I have a 4 year old dual-core laptop, upgraded with SSD. The 4-year old laptop with SSD is almost as fast as this ultrabook with original...

Consumer review by:

There is a problem with sound

 

I bought Samsung ultrabook a month before after reading many reviews on internet. Convinced that this device will work flawlessly and would satisfy all my needs (for college student) I decided to buy it. Everything works great as in those reviews I...

Consumer review by:

disappointed

 

This laptop came with a bad WiFi card and I sadly had to return it to Amazon. I liked it otherwise for the 48 hours I had it. Amazon was great! Promptly refunded all my costs with no questions asked. I replaced this machine with my second choice, a...

Ultrabook

 

This is a light weight computer that has a fast startup. Battery life is good. Sound is excellent and the picture is bright. It has a 500 gig hard drive. I love carrying this on trips.

Consumer review by:

dead out of the box

 

I returned this after the battery failed with a warning for the user to stop using the battery for safety's sake. Maybe this is just the way it is, some devices will fail out of the box. Aside from that major issue, the ultrabook was very light, very...
