Samsung NP-QX411-W02UB Laptop - 14" LED backlit - 2nd GEN i5-2450M - 6GB RAM DDR3 - 1TB HDD - WIN 7

I have been looking for a new laptop for some time now. Trying to find a computer that is well-built, has great battery life, plenty of RAM and memory, and is a good price is a pretty tall order. I've looked at all brands, ASUS, HP, Sony, Lenovo, Dell, even Mac. Macs were too expensive, as were the Sony models that I looked at. It came down to a decision between ASUS and this Samsung. However, with the metal construction, and very well put together body, this feels very solid.

Battery life has been outstanding! 6 hours+ with the screen on full brightness. Graphics look great, videos are smooth with no lag or problems. DVD drive is very quiet, and boots up quickly. Very speedy processor, plenty of RAM...TONS of hard drive space. This computer has been flawless. I have a Samsung phone, and several other Samsung products, but this is the first Samsung computer that I've owned. I'm very pleased with it!

Well, I did not bought it from here but it does not matter. The computer has been great before I found out (after the return policy period) that the battery is faulty -it only last for 8 minutes after I unplugged the power cord. The reading dropped from like 78% directly to 8% without intermediate values. I sent it to Samsung for repair, and they seem to repaired the battery to an OK status (last for like 2-3 hours), but brought new problems -the LED lights (wifi, hdd and Numlock indicators) stopped working. I complained and sent it back to repair again, they claimed nothing is wrong and sent it back "directly", but I found out that the LEDs started to work properly, but the battery is now completely dead, even worse than the first time -it won't charge at all. I completely stuck to my desk with a laptop that is without any mobility. I tried to get a replacement from Samsung and they wouldn't let me, claimed that sending it back to repair again was the only thing they can do. Frustrated.

So if you bought a defective Samsung product, don't bother to repair, just return it or have an exchange from the dealer.

Very good computer especially at the $628 price. A Mac with comparable attributes would cost 4 times. 9 hr battery is a real plus. Watched 2 movies on long flight and had about 40% remaining.

blazing fast and reliable, I simultaneously installed 5 programs flawlessly! now if only I could get a better router so my internet wouldn't slow me down! I would have preferred a different trackpad layout, one with dedicated buttons rather than one huge trackpad with lines to specify where the left and right click is. choppy gameplay when running "slender" at average graphics, perfectly playable lower than that. can run "Battle for middle earth 2" flawlessly at ultra high graphics. can run "minecraft" at acceptable framerates at decent settings. not a hardcore gaming computer but will definitely stand up to casual gaming and other programs. I'm having a hard time making the processor use more than half of its potential power! usually uses about 1000mh of its 2500mh speed when running a couple of programs at once. I would recommend this product to anyone!

--UPDATE--

5 to 4 stars. I returned to bestbuy because I felt I overpaid for it. Its very durable, has a large hard drive, and has a long battery life, but thats about it. I settled for a sony vaio e series sve15115fxs because I felt it was a better buy (intel 3rd gen 3210m processor, intel graphics 4000 (as oposed to 3000 here, the 4000 is much faster) and the ability to connect to my ps3)

The keypad has a great touch factor and this is really why I bought the machine. However the touchpad is HORRIBLE! The screen resolution will suddenly zoom, or will fly to another webpage I didn't want. It is so freakin' sensitive it is work to use the computer. I will sell this one. It is frustrating to the extreme.
