Samsung Series 3 NP305E5A-A06US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Blue Silver)

Purchased for a fourteen year old girl for her birthday. I had given her a Dell netbook a few months earlier and needed to atone for that sin. I unloaded unwanted software and installed the Office and antivirus programs i had spare licenses for, tested same. Created backup of fully loaded system prior to deployment (her birthday). Worked so flawlessly I wanted to keep it for myself. Looks good inside and out. Recipient extremely happy. For her diet of homework, Facebook and Maple Story it may be too much computer, but after the netbook fiasco the power surplus was greatly appreciated. May still get one for myself.

I bought this notebook for my daughter for her first year of college her key criteria were a good display and a large hard drive. To that I added: a relatively fast machine (higher RAM) and a relatively newer processor. This combination requirement was well satisfied by this laptopfurther, it had a full size keyboard, including a separate num pad (lacked by equally priced HP and Dell laptops.

The sleek, dual-colour design and the depiction of the screen nudged it over a competing Lenovo machine, which had similar specs and was available for the same price.

I set up the machine for her and I was very satisfied with the workhorse nature of the machine the keys are solid and one can learn to touch-type on it pretty fast. The processor is fast enough and there are no "hangs" while playing movies. Sound quality on the native speakers could have been better. The machine comes with some Samsung utilities pre-loaded but not a whole lot of bloatware or junk.

I did not test out any video resource hungry games on it given that my daughter doesn't play any of those!

Bottomline: Highly recommended for daily, standard use and media playing

Buy Samsung Series 3 NP305E5A-A06US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Blue Silver) Now

the computer is nice. my son says. but the adapter broke, after 5 weeks. Samsung Customer Service says send in the whole computer, let them check it out, and then fix what needs to be fixed. Not really convenient, and a great deterrent of using the warranty service. so, bit the bullet and paid for new adapter cable myself.

generally, laptop adapters do break down relatively fast/often, and I always have a number of them around, and in different locations, so that I cut out excessive wear and tear on those fragile adapters. I have seen them get extremely hot and have meltdown after 2 weeks. But for this one, proprietary to samsung, to break down within such a short amount of time is not encouraging. (looks to the untrained eye that bad soldering was the problem.)

I just got this yesterday from best buy where I bought it for 399.99. I like it a lot it's well made and pretty fast. The only thing that im a little worried about is the heat that comes out of the fan but its not that big of a problem for me.

This laptop is light, has the 16 GB SSHD plus the standard HD and is easy to use. I Like the Number pad on the right of the keyboard and the touch of the keyboard. Samsung has a good product with this one.
