Sweet, sleek, thin & Sexy

 

After reading some reviews and watching YouTube videos of Dell XPS I bought a i5 dual core, 2.53ghz, 1gb Nvidia optimus, 8 gb laptop. Boy did it suck. Still have it but it is no more than a useless paperweight. One issue after another. Finally got fed...

The laptop is so quiet I barely know it is on. Plus, it comes with a feature that lets you quiet it even more called silent mode. The laptop is sexy, sleek & thin. You can lift it with one hand and it looks like no other out there

None, just wish it came with the backlit keyboard. But not a big deal

Don't waste your money.

 

Round #1- Samsung usually makes good stuff. So I took a chance, especially at the price. I'm an idiot. The battery is h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e! With no peripherals attached, no programs going except a browser, and the screen dimmed to about 40%, I get way less...

Nice ergonomics, but then there's the computer

H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E battery. BIOS freezes. Truly lousy support. Touchpad

So far this is a terrible laptop

 

The keyboard sounds and feels very low quality. It's a budget laptop, I get it and I can get over that. It's made out of cheap plastic, which is fine as well. It seems to operate decently, and we use an external USB wireless mouse, so if the touchpad...

I didn't purchase it from Amazon. I purchased it from BestBuy. My computer started freezing and I was getting BSODs and black screens within approximately 6 months of use. Windows Repair and System Restore couldn't repair my Windows installation. So, I...

Exactly as described, with awesome delivery speed. Couldn't ask for a better laptop for less than $500.00 Will always consider Samsung when purchasing another laptop.
