This computer is alright, it is an ultrabook, but it is overweight. It is heavy but I think I got my moneys worth for 500 bucks. I added 4 more gigs or ram but it is faster on streaming videos, hardly freezes of buffers.

A terrible disappointment

I expected great things from Samsung; they have never let me down before and always seemed at the forefront of user experience and innovation. Within a week of purchase, I had to ship this unit back to their Support facility (at my expense, so in addition to the cost of the unit, I was out an additional $65). The only aspect of this machine that I am intimately familiar with is the Help & Support feature. In my 2.5 months of ownership, there hasn't been a week yet where my wife hasn't met me coming through the door with "the laptop won't...". I am beyond frustrated with this item and wish I had never laid eyes on it. It seems as though I could have completed a graduate degree with the time I've invested in trying to get this to work at all. Save your money and look elsewhere.

You can't tell its a refurbished laptop

Tried to download Win8.1 but gat a message that there wasn't enough space on the hard drive. Found out that the other applications I had loaded onto the drive had gone to the small SSD not the 500Gb reg drive. Had to take it Geek Squad and by a year service contract so they could transfer my personal apps to the other drive since I couldn't figure out how to that myself.

I've found this to be a great laptop for the price. The one screw removable cover on the bottom to access the RAM and hard drive make for easy upgrades. Add an 8GB SO-DIMM for 12GB of RAM (Yes it works) and an SSD and you have a very powerful speedy Ultrabook with touch that competes with $1200-$1500 models.

Great for the price

I got this for my daughter for college. I upgraded the ram to 12gb for $60 from the crucial website. It is amazingly fast, touch screen works well and it is the perfect size. It is difficult getting use to windows 8, but that will be the norm from here on out when it comes to touchscreen windows laptops. Also, it would be nice to have a backlit keyboard. Besides that, for the price, this is a great looking and a great functioning product.
