I have always used Samsung products but with the scare they had last year with combustible cellphones and such I wasn't sure if I should upgrade my old Samsung laptop for a newer version. I ended up purchasing this laptop because I needed the extra storage and running power. I use designer programs (Silhouette) and constantly stream music and download files. This computer handles it so well and doesn't seem to run slow at all! I love the touchscreen and flip option that it has as well, great picture, and sound, doesn't seem to get hot at all for the amount of stuff I run on it and when the fan does kick on you cant really hear it. I am sure I am not utilizing it to its full potential but it is an awesome computer for college students or those who do a little extra with their computers

I have been using this computer for 6 weeks. It is quick to start up or from sleep mode. The graphics is superb. I also connect it to 2 other monitors. I use it to run a small business which includes developing and compiling code for mobile apps. It rarely gets hot and so the fan comes on occasionally for brief moments. Battery life is very good. I can work via surfing, downloading, streaming video or developing / compiling code for 3 hours (Battery life remaining 65%). If you are looking for a computer that is highly functional, fast, and gets the job done, then this is the one for you. If you are looking for a computer to impress your friends with slick looks and cool lights, then Samsung has a different model.

Bought this after much research as I do a lot of digital photography and video processing, as well as writing e-books and other mundane tasks. It has most of the traits I was searching for *except* a DVD drive - I'll add an external drive soon. This machine will replace three other old computers laying around the house. Fit and finish is superb, and worked great right out of the box. One item of note - this is the *ONLY* laptop I could find in the great Samsung lineup that was capable of upgrading the RAM (memory) to a whopping 32 GB - a large part of my purchasing decision. With the dedicated graphics processor, this machine will soon run circles around the others. I contacted Crucial.com as this machine is not currently in their "advisor" database for matching RAM modules to laptops - they should have that corrected soon, but the nice customer service person recommended this kit for upgrading the RAM : http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct2k16g4sfd8213 I'll have the Geek Squad install the RAM, and clone my current SSD drive to a larger, Samsung Pro 500 GB solid state drive, which should give me plenty of room for additional apps down the road. Until then, this machine is a real joy to operate, and I am enjoying that "new laptop smell". FWIW, I'm not a gamer, but this beautiful machine is FAST right out of the box thanks to the SSD with the apps on it. Boot time is incredibly fast. The keyboard has a good tactile feel, but I have not yet tried to use it in tablet mode - that's just not how I roll (I'm old). Now that my favorite apps are installed, I'm just beginning to explore all the things this laptop can do. Coming from an older iMac, the whole Windows 10 Pro thing has a bit of a learning curve, but nothing I can't handle. Screen resolution is really great right out of the gate, and I'm looking forward to using this laptop for an upcoming trip to Scotland and Ireland. If you have the $$, treat yourself to a fantastic laptop - this one !
