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.

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.

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.
