Q: QuestionNo Optical DriveThis literally means DVD, CD, Blu Rays will not be read without another additional purchase???? This can't be accurate, can it?
Asked by G.
- A:Answer There is no optical drive, that is correct. I was horrified also, but needed the computer, so I bought an LG SLIM PORTABLE DVD WRITER for $49. It's a great little drive and works fine. It weighs less than 7 oz. I don't have a lot of DVDs, so I didn't need it desperately, but I'm glad I have it and I like the fact that it is separate from the computer, because having the DVD separate from the computer means that if it ever fails, I won't have the agony of my computer going to the shop.

Q: QuestionGraphics card with 2gb memory?Samsung's website lists the NP780Z5E-S01UB as being able to have an "AMD Radeon™ HD 8870M graphics card, with up to 2GB of memory" as a factory option. Does best buy offer this as well? If not, is there anyway the Geek Squad could replace the AMD Radeon™ HD 8770M which only has 1gb of memory with the AMD Radeon™ HD 8870M graphics card with up to 2GB of memory?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The graphics "card" is embedded on the main board and cannot be replaced. You would need to order the laptop from the manufacturer or a retailer that offered the specifications you desire.

Q: QuestionWindows 8 Recovery Drive Creation Problem.Has anybody been able to create the USB recovery drive? No drive shows up when the box is checked "copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive". (It is a fully functional USB drive of ample size that the computer does recognize). Doing a websearch, it appears this is a Windows 8 problem that people with other PC makes are also having. What happens if it crashes with no recovery drive and no Windows 8 disks? Should one buy this in the hopes that a windows 8 service pack will correct the issue?
Asked by FB.
- A:Answer Use the samsung recovery software that came with the machine and it works flawlessly. I had no problem and only took about 10 minutes. Then I switch the 5400 hd out with an SSD.

Q: QuestionIs an SSD for the OS built in?Some online postings indicate that previous Samsung Series 7 laptops and some European models of this one had/have a 24gb - 32gb ssd included (in addition to an hdd) to run the OS. Does the 15.6-inch version of this model have such an ssd? If not, is there any included hardware to speed up boot time? Also, the Samsung website indicates that if the case is opened to replace the current hdd with an ssd, it voids the warranty. If this is true, could I buy a Samsung ssd from Best Buy and pay Best Buy to replace the hdd with the ssd without voiding the warranty?
Asked by gleapman.
- A:Answer Appreciate Mr. Samsung responding, but it was not a direct answer. I think DreamLin is correct...to switch out the hdd for an ssd and still have a warranty, I would have to buy the ssd (do I have to buy it from BB?), pay geek squad to install it, and buy a warranty from BB. So switching to an SSD is the cost of the SSD plus another $200 for the installation and the BB warranty. ($50 for installation, $150 for the warranty). And I'd still need to confirm that BB will warranty the unit after installing the ssd.

Q: Questionsamsung or comparable with 16gig ram upgradeableYou referenced the NP510R5E-A02UB. I see it has space for up to 16gig. The only negative is it's not touch screen. I'm looking for potential 16gig ram, touchscreen, I7, to put ssd drive in
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer it can be upgraded to 12gig at the most. 1 4gb stick is soldered to the motherboard. I know of no other comparable machine.
Answered by NACs23
Q: QuestionCan't we just replace the existing? What about 16 gig ram? is there a model that allows this?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The model you specifed will not be able to go up to 16 GB of RAM. I'd be happy to help you find a laptop that would allow expansion up to 16 GB of RAM. Is the touch screen feature a must for you? I've found a comparable laptop, you might be interested in here: http://bit.ly/12Qhr7m

Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer it can be upgraded to 12gb only. 1 - 4gb stick is soldered to the motherboard. SSD upgrade is supereasy. I did mine in less than 30 minutes including the recovery to the ssd before installation. then you can use the slow 1tb as an external.
