For refurbish I have found no cosmetic or functional problems problems. $530 for an i7 with 8 GB ram it is hard to find fault. The only minor aggravation is that it did not come with an optic drive, but I knew that when I bought it, so add another $30 for a external USB DVD drive. I thought buying a about a laptop with an SSD but so far I'm totally happy with the speed and would have still had to put up with Win8. It has one USB 3.0 port and two USB 2.0. Battery life is seems good.

The only reason I gave it a 4 stars instead of 5 is because of geek squad, not the laptop. I aplaud them for their good prices and wonderful customer service. Although when my laptop finally came I booted it up and there was no operating system. They just wiped the old data and forgot to put windows 8 in. I had to spend 3 hours at best buy figuring that out. I got a refund and bought the same computer again and had to wait another week for that new one to come in. I know that probably doesnt happen often but it was still disapointing. but thats the risk of buying a refurbished laptop. luckily it all worked out in the end and I got everything I wanted....It just took longer

I knew I was taking a risk getting a Geek Squad Certified Refurbished laptop, but I took the chance to save $100. That was my mistake. When I got the laptop, the touchpad never worked properly; I could move the mouse and click, but it would not use any of the other functions, such as scrolling, zooming, swiping, etc. I could not get that resolved, despite several hours chatting with tech support. Then on day I was using it normally, and the screen flashed and went black. It never turned on again. Thankfully, Best Buy has a good return policy, and taking it back to the store was quick and easy without any hassle. The product I got was a lemon, but it had issues that Geek Squad should have found in testing. I'm sticking to new products from now on.

i cant say this is a bad deal, is good for what i paid, but i think it performance should be better than it is, after all, is an i7 processor. i've manage to fix somethings about it, but there are some others that i couldnt, ill keep it because i think 530$ makes it a good deal.

QuestionWhat about battery life? and is screen very reflective or anti-glare?
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The screen will have some reflection - as all clear panel screens may have when there is a lot of bright ambient light. The panel usually compensates for that by producing a great picture, and most people will know right away if it will work for them simply by looking at the display in the store. As for the battery, few manufacturers can rate this, since so many variables can be in play at any time. For instance, it can change based on how many programs you have installed, what your sleep/auto-off settings are, or many other variables that affect battery life. Unfortunately, we have no way of determining this for any, all or even an average user. Therefore, we cannot offer a battery life range as a general point. Thanks for your interest in our products, and Happy Holidays to you from all of us at Samsung. --Mr. Samsung

QuestionDoes this computer come with office suiteDoes this computer automatically come with Microsoft word, power point and everything else? If not, how much would it cost to by Microsoft to install on the computer?
Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Some computers may come with 30-Day trials (and one is available for download from Microsoft.com), however this does not come with a full version of Office. Pricing and availability for Office is best answered by the retailer, since different versions (Standard, Pro, Student, etc.) may be different prices. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. Samsung
