I was exited to get this refurnished laptop. As soon a i opened it i noticed a few minor scratches which i would of hoped to not have. I did not complain because it had great specs for the price. Once i turned it on i noticed the speakers were off and it was complicated to figure out what it was. Turns out it was muted. Once i got them working i noticed that they made a popping sound when i started viewing videos or turned the laptop on and i thought about taking it back to best buy buy i did not have the time so i've just felt with its popping noise. Other then the speakers everything else works fine. Oh and the touchpad does not have a scroll you have to download a drive.Good screen quality handles online game quite smooth and very good looks. I would recommended for someone on a budget.

I hope this product could come with 12 inches screen. Otherwise, I am so happy with my purchase. No defect at all.. I also compared this laptop to Sony Viao cor i5, 6 GB memory, I found this Sumsong is as fast as the core i 5.. With that price, this is way better than any other brand to get

I got the refurbished model and am pretty happy overall with its performance. It came without some software necessary for WiDi functions, but I downloaded it from Intel website and it's working fine. Considering I paid about $370, I have no complaints on this computer.

I am very happy with my purchase. Impressed with the refurbished laptop by Geek Squad, operates as good as if not better than a new one, just with out all the packaging. Windows 8 takes some getting used to but works well once you get the hang of it.

It's a laptop. I think it works for an around the house laptop, but am reluctant to carry it to work or whereever because of size and weight. But, perfect for watching movies or playing around at home.

I had a few reservations about getting a refurbished laptop, but I have been very happy with my decision. I have to say though that while I watch some TV shows I do not watch many movies, nor do I play any of those fancy 3D games.

QuestionIs the screen matte or gloss?
Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The screen will have a clear panel screen, which most people would say would be more glossy. That said, the color production of that screen is outstanding, and has a clarity that is noticeable when compared with matte screens. Thanks for your interest in Samsung laptops. --Mr.Samsung

Questionwhat do you mean by refurbished computer
Asked 12 years ago by edgar.
- Answer Refurbished products are products that were originally purchased and returned by customers. The returned products are sent back to either an original manufacturer, a third-party refurbishment company or Best Buy's own in-house repair centers where they can usually be restored to like-new condition. You can find more information on refurbished products by visiting the FAQ at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Electronics-Promotions/Refurbished+Product+FAQs/pcmcat249600050017.c?id=pcmcat249600050017&h=387.

QuestionWhat's the battery life on this laptop?
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer That figure includes how many programs you have running and how big those files are. It's difficult to determine what kind of battery life could be expected, but it would be comparable based on the amount of programs that you would run simultaneously, and the size of those programs and how memory intensive they are. Thanks for your interest in Samsung laptops. Mr. Samsung
