I picked this computer because I am going to college for engineering. I had to download SolidWorks (CAD Software) and I wasn’t able to on my old laptop. To run this software I needed at least 8 GB of ram and about 15 GB or space. Which, I didn’t have on my old computer. I like that the Samsung has an actual physical graphics card, because I am able to run my CAD software on that and keep the ram for what ever else I’m doing at the time. So technically, it doesn’t bog down my computer like it would if I only had the Ram to work from. It’s been a solid computer and I’ve enjoyed using it. Also, it has made getting my school work completed a little easier. The only downfall I have found with the computer is my old computer had a solid state drive and I miss the speed of the SSD. But, in order to get a computer with a large SSD you n Ed a good amount of money, which I did not have. So overall it’s a great computer for the price.

I have quite a few Samsung products in my home - from an entire highline kitchen appliance set; three large ultrathin big screen television sets, 3 Blu-ray players, a combo S/S dvr recorder/player w/VHS, and 2 Samsung Galaxy S smart phones, So you can tell I have a prejudice with Samsung high quality products. This notebook/laptop is absolutely fantastic - large storage, fast speed, a tremendous fast operating system and its sturdy! I've owned ultralight laptops in the past but selected this model because of Samsung reputation & its weight. Its actually a little too heave but gonna take a pretty large accident to cause any damage. Boots fast & has plenty of power for multi-tasking. Only negative is it doesn't come with an internal DVD recorder/player. However there are plenty of portable reader/writers that can be connected thru the USB plug. I expect this will last a very long time. There are cheaper notebook/laptops out there, but this one is worth a few dollars more. Love it.
