Samsung Series 3 NP300E5C-A08US 15.6-Inch Discounts

Patricia Frymyer (Lancaster, PA USA) :
So far so good...I needed a better processor with higher RAM and memory, plus something that allowed me to work from home when necessary. This laptop can run several programs, including Microsoft Office, simultaneously and at a good processing speed. The keyboard is very comfortable to use; and setting it up was easy. Very happy with this!

Oscar R. Reyes "Matias" (North Jersey) :
Fast processor, 3rd Generation I5 but wrong speed is indicated in the product description. It's only 2.5 mhz not 2.6 mhz.
After 2 months of regular use, I'm fully satisfied with its performance. Though I have a minor concern . . The position of the touchpad is little bit closer to my left hand but I'm left handed so my left hand palm keep on touching the touch pad which moves the cursor unintentionally when I write.

Delbert A. McNew (Greeley, Colorado, US) :
When I needed to replace my desktop I decided to get a lap top. I chose Samsung because my Samsung TV
proved to be a good buy. So far I have used my laptop for word processing using Microsoft Word. I am well
pleased with my little computer.

Samsung Series 9 900X3C - 13.3" - Core i7 Discounts

Steve Marx (Illinois) :
Had defective touch pad from day one, neither amazon or there vendor were of any assistance. Had to go through the manufacturer. Unit is great other than touch pad fault. At the manufacturer getting fixed as I write this. I antonline is vendor no one wants to purchase from. They wouldn't even email me when contacted about the fault.

ShoppingAddict (NY) :
This is the best ultrabook. The Acer with the toughscreen has a very thick screen vs the razor thin screen on the series 9, it came with windows 7 (better than 8), and the quality of the construction is awesome. Touchpad is fine once you update the driver. I looked at all the ultrabooks and this is the best.

Epicure (USA) :
I bought this Samsung 900X3C-A04US ultrabook back in November and found typing extremely difficult as letters and words jumped all over the page and ended up in the middle of other sentences and even other paragraphs. I downloaded and installed Samsung's firmware keypad fix to no avail, so I sent it back to them for repair. They replaced the keyboard but that did not help at all, so I sent it back a second time, explaining the problem in detail. I just received the unit back from repair today but the problem was even worse than before--typing is now essentially impossible, and I have been a touch-typist for over 60 years! I am now trying to get a complete replacement for this turkey but I have no idea whether I will succeed; I have been told that the A05US was introduced to correct the typing problem, but nobody at Samsung will yet promise to send me that model instead.

Samsung Series 7 NP700Z5C-S02UB 15.6-Inch Discounts

Robert Nuzzo "robertnuzzo" (mountain view, ca) :
Very solid build, very mature design. The 8Gb flash drive gives the 1Tb hard drive a zippy response that makes it a real pleasure to use. The keyboard layout is sensible and feels right. The keystroke is a little shallow but that's a small quibble. I'm sure there's more to know but so far so good. And with Samsung's recent re-branding of their entire laptop line, prices on these models have fallen to a level that should change your buying strategy.

Ldroses (CA) :
First of all, I bought this laptop, but not from Amazon. I wanted the option of getting in some ones face IF there was a problem. I am happy to say this has not happened, and I am very impressed with this computer. I am still adjusting to Windows 8, but this is the OS windows offers, so may as well get use to it. The boot time is incredibly fast, battery life is great. All around, I am a happy camper.

Mike "Mike" (Phoenix, AZ) :
I tend to go through laptops and upgrade technology fairly quickly. This machine is hands down one of the best laptops I've ever had. Its fast, its light for the performance specs, it has a real graphics card that runs Steam games great- even over the HDMI out to a tv without any goofy lag. Backlit keyboard- and did I mention the hyperthreaded 4-core i7 is fast? It will run itself up to 3.2Ghz in high perf power mode under heavy load. This laptop ranks up there with my old overclocked 4Ghz desktop.
Cons- as mentioned by others, the mic port by the keyboard sucks. You can't video conference without a headset and type at the same time without sending machine gun shots to those on the other end. An upgrade on this would perfect the machine in my opinion.

Samsung Series 7 Gamer NP700G7C-S02US 17.3-Inch Discounts

Matthew Rogers "Systems Analyst" (Florida, USA) :
So I shopped the heck of this product segement. I looked at MSI,ASUS, and a few others. In the end the brands with the BEST displays were ASUS and Samsung. The Samsung display on this laptop was reviewed as superb and it is simply beautiful. I don't care for Windows 8, but this is the new standard so I can't fault Samsung. Fit and finish are good. Runs the new Aliens Colonial Marines maxed out along with DOTA2.

Randytheg (NY) :
This laptop definitely can be a replacement for the gaming desk top. Screen clarity is awesome and functions really really well.
I'm not sure about full high quality options for super heavy games, but this works decent with Aion, World of warcraft and Blade and Soul (with medium option, in Korean server). Anyway if you consider to buy a laptop for gaming, this is the right choice.
But you should know this is made for home use, not for portable mobility because it is kind of heavy and big.

Gwe (Surrey, UK) :
This is a great machine but hate the Windows 8. (just don't understand it). We have had problems with the screen not coming on and have had to remove the battery to shut it down. The battery is so heavy perhaps it gets nudged the wrong way. We only use this when traveling by auto. I think we will continue to use the 14" when flying even though we prefer the larger screen. This machine is FAST. We used to blame hotel systems for the slowness but this machine has indicated that was not the case. This is even fast on the hotel Wi-Fi.

Samsung Series 3 NP350E7C-A01US Discounts

Robert J. Pipes (Wisconsin) :
I needed a bigger laptop to use for my own purposes and also in my job giving training sessions in basic computer use. I agonized for several weeks trying to decide which one and finally settled on the Samsung because of the large 1TB disc, 8GB ram and the 17.3" screen and also the I7 processor which could handle virtualbox software for Win 7 and XP operating systems to run as virtual machines concurrently with Win 8. I now have Virtualbox, Win 7, Win 8 and XP installed and running and it handles it with ease. The screen size is very good for me. The only downside is that this is not a light machine. When you put it in a bag with power cord and other stuff I carry around it is a load. But that is the trade off I made.
I have not noticed a problem with the sound as some others have, but then again at my age, I dont need a boom box. And what can you say about Win 8? It had me baffled for a couple of days but now it is OK and I can live with it. I use an Iphone so it I kind of understand what they are trying to do and I understand there may be an update coming that will improve it.
I would reccommend this machine if you are looking for one that is this big (disc, ram, processor) and it comes at a great price.

Sandra (santo andre, são paulo Brazil):
I'm not much of a computer person. I know wish I would have purchased the touch screen option. It is still taking some getting use to, in regards to the navigation. The graphics are nice, it runs well. I must admit I need to read my manual so that I can make sure to take advantage of all the neat features offered.

Fredrick O. Perlee (NY) :
After several weeks researching the market for what I needed (website management, photography, and publishing), I locked onto this laptop for its quality, durability and design features. I like the 1600x900 res. especially. Speed is good also. For the money ($699.99- you might find it cheaper now), it hasn't let me down yet. I've used it daily for 5 months now and have no problems what-so-ever. If you have a problem with the learning curve in Windows 8, just download a cheap eBook from Amazon.com (Kindle eBooks) about Windows 8 (which can be viewed on your laptop), and your off and running. With some practical exploring it becomes a breeze. I recommend this computer over any other laptop in its category. Also, I recommend Tiger Direct as your seller if they still have this model in stock, or any other computer in stock. They are very professional and prompt.

Samsung Series 9 NP900X3C-A05US 13.3-Inch Discounts

Lucian (Illinois, USA) :
I bought this for my wife, for Xmas. Originally she had her sights on the Apple Air laptop but had never used iOS before. She liked the fact that the Apple was slim and had a long battery life, but I was afraid of the learning curve and the fact that we had to purchase additional software compatible with iOS. Enter Samsung Series 9: Amazon ordering was easy and shipping was lightning-fast, as always. When she opened the box she was absolutely amazed at how well the laptop looked. However, she really started loving it when she saw how fast it was, due to the solid state drive and pretty fast processor. She loves the fact that it's "pretty", it's fast, looks good overall and only charged it a couple of times over the last week or so.
Solid product and happy wife!

RickT555 (California) :
i loved the ultrabook....so light. But unfortunately i bought the one with Windows 8....that was a big mistake,.......did I say a BIG mistake ? i just found Windows 8 uncomfortable.....so much unnecessary messing about to find the same Start as Windows 7.....but with the side bar complication.
i returned the Ultrabook and am ordereing one with Windows 7 instead.....I have no criticism of the Ultrabook Series 9 itself , it suits my needs exactly. But Windows 8 is for Apps. and more suited to touch screen.

Sunshineran (Saint Louis) :
i may say, I like this series of computer from samsung. They are very slim, light & fast. I like the material very much. Very nice feeling when you touch it. The features of this model is not bad, except the screen color resolution. its even a lot worse than the cheap levono edge 13 I brought 3 years ago. Well, I think it might because i bought a used one which originally has some defects. The one I got, besides the screen resolution, the touchpad didn't work when i second day I used it. The arrow was jumping around the whole screen itself several times. So, I had to return to to Amazon. Overall, I cant judge whether this model is good or not from my bad luck. But i will never try to buy a used laptop.

Samsung Series 3 NP350V5C-A01US 15.6" Discounts

SendingItYourWay (WestBerkshire UK) :
I'm no computer nerd so I'm not going to bore you with specifics because to be honest I don't know a lot about them except for the hardware. What I do know is this computer is FAST, built solid, lightweight, charges fast, holds a charge quite well and does everything we need it to do. Windows 8 was little weird at first but once I got a hang of it it's not much different than other versions you just have to figure out where things are. For the price it's a solid little rig and I wish this was mine instead of the wifes now I'm jealous because I'm stuck with our 8 year old desktop and she can walk all around the house and do everything plus more than I can. Yes, she loves it too but I should have bought it for myself. :-)

Claude Kuffskie (Philadelphia, pa USA) :
Laptop performs well. It was delivered on time in good condition. Only bad thing is it comes with Windows 8. Do not get anything with windows 8 installed. It sucks. If I had known how bad it is I would never have bought a computer with Windows 8. I am looking in to downgrading to Windows 7. It will cost me another hundred dollars, but will probably be worth that to get rid of this crap operating system.

V. J. Ribaudo "MRGDGT" (Litchfield NH) :
This is a good computer for the money. Windows 8 is very interesting to learn but once you do,it is very easy. The only short coming I have found is the camera. It is advertised as 1.3 MP but it only shows up a as .9 MP. Images are very grainy.
