I'm at work and don't have much time to write about the laptop, but the delivery was fast and secure. The laptop is brand new although of course "refurbished". I've purchased other refurbished products before and have had no problems with them. there are newer Samsung models in the market, but this one is still recent enough to hold its own. The number pad is more than welcome. I'm in the utilities field in the military and do a lot of word processing, project management, and spreadsheet stuff. The keyboard feels good but I'll probably use an external keyboard to keep this laptop as new as possible. I spent a lot of money on a desktop #iMac# and will buy another Samsung for the wife. Enjoy.

QuestionWhat is the problem in this laptop?I wanna know what is the problem in this laptop can you explain to me? Because I'm really interested to buy this laptop.
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer There is nothing wrong with the laptop. Refurbished models are tested (and repaired if necessary) prior to being sold. While the unit may have been returned or displayed, that doesn't necessarily mean that there was a problem with the unit. In some cases, it may have just not met the needs of a particular customer or been returned for other reasons. Thanks for your interest in Samsung laptops. --Mr.Samsung

QuestionWireless capabilityThe specifications state that this laptop can access the internet wireless; however, when I use the 'Wireless capability" filter under the Narrow Your Results feature for product searching, this model does NOT show up. Am I missing something?
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer This Samsung laptop does have wireless capability, but it's possible it was not included in the product search due to an error with our system, or possibly it hasn't been added yet as it is a refurbished product. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

QuestionWhat is repaired in this laptopWhy this laptop is considered as refurbished. What was repaired in this laptop. Also was it repaired by Geek Squad or by factory.
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Refurbished does not necessarily mean repaired. Some times people will just return a product, because it wasn't a right fit for them.
