i7 in a laptop for less than $800 ; Monitor gorgeous at 1600x1200. Matte finish prevents glare (but appears a little washed out compared to glossy screens) ; Elegant case design. Brushed aluminum top ; Silent except when playing games, even then fans...

Trackpad is far and away the worse part of this machine, and likely why it was refurbished. The trackpad is both over-sensitive and insensitive: moving the cursor is often registered as a left-click, but then "soft-clicking" (tapping the trackpad) is...

Good looking and sleek

Unit was dead on arrival, appeared to be hard drive issues/failure

Looked nice (while it lasted)

Sharp edge that everyone else is complaining about ; Stopped working after 4 months. Led lights show, but screen doesn't work ; Newegg and Samsung told me I'm out of luck

I was very happy with everything this laptop had to offer

Screen broke after 2 months

Semi-lightweight, I7 processor (though low ghz), good webcam, fast startup, and long battery life ; Since I've not seen an answer for just how long the battery lasts, I'll put in my insight so far: at 100% battery it said 2 1/2 hours remaining, then i...

Everyone has been whining about the sharp edge, personally, if you have skin you should be okay no problem ; Bloatware, but easy to get rid of. Either jsut go through and uninstall and delete it all or do a clean reset with windows 7 ; The touchpad is...

Fast, great screen, super light, nice backlight. Easy software manager to keep all of your drivers and programs up to date, all in one place. Runs quietly

battery life is good, not fantastic. Screen is a little bit of an odd dimension. It looks like 8 1/2" by 14" which is a little short, but keeps the whole machine pretty small with the 10-keys on the side. However, it's a super bright, awesome screen

Great design, good price, good speed, very quiet, runs cool, no crashes or bsod so far

Replacing the hard drive is difficult because you have to take the whole bottom off ; The screen is just average. Not great, not bad ; Samsung customer service leaves much to be desired. My unit arrived with a power adapter that was making snapping,...

Nice design, good battery life so far, a good value

if it worked. I got BSOD within 2 minutes, and regularly after that. I installed a ton of updates, ran chkdsk, and finally found a problem using Memtest86+: bad RAM ; I agree with the other poster who complained about he wrist-rests, the way the layers...

The build quality of this laptop is extraordinary. It is rock solid and a snappy performer. I didn't get to play with the performance much before sending it in to be serviced, but although it has plenty of bloatware, it seemed to perform fairly well....

Here we go ; 1. Another reviewer mentioned the sharp lip. Yes, it is pretty sharp and digs into the wrists if you wrest them there ; 2. I had screen issues. Whoever is doing the refurb job on these is apparently blind. The right third of my screen was...
