Crashes 2 or 3 times per day

 

When I bought the laptop, it looked great and because I bought it through Amazon it arrived very quickly after I ordered it. My old lap top was struggling a bit and I wanted a new one before I went on holiday in November. Almost immediately it started...

Great piece of kit!

 

Had minimum requirements, but based my decision on product reviews, and not seeing it in the flesh, so always the possibility of an expensive wrong choice, even though it seemed to tick all the boxes. I've been using it for a couple of months, and I...

A Great Laptop

 

I'm another Amazon customer who spent a lot of time researching laptops before buying. I find these customer reviews the most helpful when deciding on purchases so feel honour bound to add a few comments. Basically I agree with all the positive 5*...

IT BROKE DOWN IN THE FIRST WEEK

 

We bought it mid December as the price seemed to be going up. It wasn't opened until the 25th December. On the 31st December it was broken. It just wouldn't boot up. How does that happen? I ended up with a very disappointed 16 year old.

Consumer review by:

Excellent value laptop

 

After doing the usual research I decided that this Samsung ticked all the boxes. The screen size/laptop weight suited our use as a portable around the house computer. The processor, an Intel i5 was the latest model and was fast enough for most uses...

Great price for a PC for everyday use

 

I am really impressed with this PC, considering the money I paid for it. I like how the PC makes minimal fan noise, however when the GPU on (usually during gaming) it is a different story. The keyboard will take time to get used to. But, in all in all,...

Second time lucky

 

We brought the laptop and had a problem with the 1st one but was very impressed with how quick a new one was with us. No issues with the laptop. Is fast and so far, so good. Have usually gone with Dell, but for the money we have got a whole lot of...
