Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked this computer because I am going to college for engineering. I had to download SolidWorks (CAD Software) and I wasn’t able to on my old laptop. To run this software I needed at least 8 GB of ram and about 15 GB or space. Which, I didn’t have on my old computer. I like that the Samsung has an actual physical graphics card, because I am able to run my CAD software on that and keep the ram for what ever else I’m doing at the time. So technically, it doesn’t bog down my computer like it would if I only had the Ram to work from. It’s been a solid computer and I’ve enjoyed using it. Also, it has made getting my school work completed a little easier. The only downfall I have found with the computer is my old computer had a solid state drive and I miss the speed of the SSD. But, in order to get a computer with a large SSD you n Ed a good amount of money, which I did not have. So overall it’s a great computer for the price.

Great laptop has everything you need especially if your wanting to go to school

I have quite a few Samsung products in my home - from an entire highline kitchen appliance set; three large ultrathin big screen television sets, 3 Blu-ray players, a combo S/S dvr recorder/player w/VHS, and 2 Samsung Galaxy S smart phones, So you can tell I have a prejudice with Samsung high quality products. This notebook/laptop is absolutely fantastic - large storage, fast speed, a tremendous fast operating system and its sturdy! I've owned ultralight laptops in the past but selected this model because of Samsung reputation & its weight. Its actually a little too heave but gonna take a pretty large accident to cause any damage. Boots fast & has plenty of power for multi-tasking. Only negative is it doesn't come with an internal DVD recorder/player. However there are plenty of portable reader/writers that can be connected thru the USB plug. I expect this will last a very long time. There are cheaper notebook/laptops out there, but this one is worth a few dollars more. Love it.

I bought a month ago and doesn’t work, came with hd and memory with defect, doesn’t work

I bought this laptop during the Black Friday sale and I'm glad I did. I was so excited to see that Samsung had laptops(where have I been). I love all of Samsung's products! This laptop is fast and I've been playing my SIms 4 on it a lot. A couple of times, the game for some reason minimized on me while playing. I've yet to learn the cause of that. I took a star off because I was excited that the website stated in the specifications that it was a SSD rather than a hard drive, only to find out in store that it's a typo that has yet to be fixed. I will upgrade to a SSD within a month as I know it will greatly improve the performance. As other reviewers have stated, it's still pretty fast with the current hard drive and so far is handling gaming on it pretty well. P.S. If they have not corrected the specifications yet on the website, this does not have a SSD. Please read the reviews (all still awesome) before purchasing it based on the SSD spec.

I had an Asus for about 9 years when it died I was looking at Dell products but the salesperson showed me this one and I bought on her recommendation. I am really happy with this machine. It's fast and runs multiple programs at once with no problem. I sometimes forget it has a touch screen, until I accidentally touch the screen (still getting used to it). Overall I can recommend the Samsung.

I researched laptops for hours until my eyes bled. I went to Best Buy, Costco and elsewhere to test the various computers out. My gut feeling is that Samsung makes some of the best laptops and tablets. I did not want to shell out $400 more just to have an apple logo on it. I got this for my daughter to use and the thing works great. We are super happy with it. No issues whatsoever.

This laptop is perfect for someone who likes gaming on the road, but doesn't have the $2,000 budget for an true gaming laptop. the 7th gen i5 paired with the NVIDIA graphics card can run most games rather well. While it doesn't have a solid state drive, everything else holds up extremely well. I'd pay $900 for this laptop, but you can get it for $600. Would definitely recommend to anyone! 5/5

After my previous laptop, an Asus N550JV, kicked the bucket, I needed something cheap but powerful to replace it. This Samsung laptop fit the bill perfectly. The discrete GPU, plenty of storage and memory, and a 7th gen i5 make for a complete package that fulfills all the needs I have as a college student. My only complaints: I would have preferred an i7 processor, but the great battery life would likely have taken a hit. The screen leaves a lot to be desired, both in resolution and viewing angles. I haven't tried using it outdoors, but I imagine it wouldn't be a great experience. I understand that a lower resolution screen means better battery life, but after becoming accustomed to 1080p screen, I can't help but to feel I've taken a step back to 2005. Pixels and jagged edges everywhere! All the ports are on the left side of the laptop. I can't help but to feel like they could have included another USB port or -something- on the right hand side. A backlit keyboard would have been nice. There are no indicator lights other than a blue LED indicating that the laptop is on. No charging, num lock, caps lock, or CPU indicator lights. You don't realize how useful those are til they're gone. The webcam is extremely low resolution. So beside those few, mostly cosmetic, copmlaints I'm completely satisfied with this laptop. I would have rated it 4.5 stars if Best Buy's rating system would allow it, so I'll round it up to 5.

This computer far exceeded my expectations. I had a $1500 gaming laptop several years ago that bit the dust, and i just never had the funds to replace it. I still don't really have the funds to get something on that level, but I am very pleased with this more budget friendly option. It runs just about anything I want it to (have not tried any newer PC games since I'm still stuck in the past with older favorites) such as GTA V, Civ V, The Sims 3 (which let's be realistic, you don't need a high powered anything to run that, but it's on the list anyway), Witcher 2, and even Skyrim. It can handle things on the highest graphics settings, but i put them on mid-settings just because it works better. As far as all other functionality, it's really quite impressive. It's pretty lightweight for its size. I honestly can't get over the fact that this laptop is only $600. The battery life is much better than my previous laptop. The only complaint I have is the keyboard. I can't quite place what it is, but it's a little uncomfortable to use for a long time. I think it's because the keys are slightly off center from the standard, and they are pretty high above the edge which causes some discomfort in my wrists and forearms. It's not enough to take off an entire star, but I am considering getting a more comfortable bluetooth keyboard or something for the times when I will be sitting down to write a bit more. Overall, if you are looking for a decently powered laptop for a lower price, this is a great option. I wouldn't recommend it for serious gamers (if you do fall into that category, I recommend building your own desktop if you can afford it) because it will have its limitations, but for more casual use, it's a great option. Very happy with my purchase. And as far as ordering it online, it came really fast (I ordered it on a Sunday and got it the following Wednesday), and it arrived in great shape.

I had an older Samsung laptop and definitely wanted another one. This was relatively cheap for a great product. I am a college student and this computer is helping beyond ways I could imagine

I purchased the Samsung Notebook 5 for my son and he loves it. Plenty of storage, touchscreen, and boots up quickly. We are very happy with this product.

Very good monitor. Large screen with very good graphics. Computer is fast and works well for our home usage.

My daughter needed a new laptop for school but also loves to game some. This computer gave her the best of both worlds. Loves the touch screen feature.

Love this laptop. I'm a Samsung fan anyway but am very happy with the touch screen, lots of memory and a big hard drive on this one.

This product is easy to carry around due to its light weight plus the touch screen and memory makes it a great traveling computer.

This computer was for my daughter for her senior year. It has been great so far. Easy to use and i like the touch screen.

This notebook by Samsung is awesome. It does everything I need it for.The touchscreen is nice treat. Plus it has a nice video card for games.

I purchased this laptop for my Grand-daughter going to college. She loves the touch screen and how fast it is.

This computer is OK in my opinion. There are some good things about it and somethings that rive me crazy. I like that it is fairly light weight, has a nice screen size and 7th gen Intel and it is a touch screen. It has a good amount of speed and memory. However, there is no Caps light so the only way to tell if the caps are on is to start typing, also the track pad gets stuck when over the side bar up & down arrows so it will just keep scrolling and you have to use the touch screen to tap someplace on the page to get it to stop scrolling. Also, when looking at my emails it can be difficult to check or uncheck an email for deleting or moving. Once again you have to use the touch screen to perform these tasks. So for me this computer is just ok and I would probably not buy it again. If you don't use the computer a lot it would probably work good for you but I work online so it can be a pain sometimes.
