Samsung Series 5 NP550P5C-T01US 15.6-inch Notebook

Pros: Perfect for school work and gaming. Exactly what I needed as a student. Great price for the quality.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Looks awesome. Very Shiny. Curved bottom makes it easy to pick up. Keyboard is very well spaced apart.

Cons: Low pegs on the bottom make it close to the table. May need to raise it off the table.

Other Thoughts: Just got this today. Newegg said 3 day shipping but I somehow got mine in 2 days! I'm already in love with it.

Pros: Having just unboxed this, I'm quite literally running on the new computer high, but I can tell right away that this computer is leagues above what I have been working with previously. It's lightweight, compact, the screen is bright and clear, the keyboard has wonderful action to it and the speakers are crystal clear with an amazing amount of bass for laptop speakers. It also had a minimum of bloatware, for which I am exceedingly grateful.
I'm going to run a few games and see how it performs!

Cons: None so far, though I must admit the plastic casing feels very very light. But that's most likely just me comparing to my older, heavier computers, as it still feels very sturdy.

Pros: There are too many pro's to count, from design to power. So to keep it brief, speakers are astounding, and the laptop is a great midsize laptop.

Cons: Although I love the laptop, I hesitated writing a review right away, to give an honest opinion. The laptop battery is not as great as advertised, although it will get me through all my classes I have to be wary of the power usage, and put the laptop on powersaver mode. Given this isn't really a laptop meant to be taking to classes. I may start looking for a smaller more portable laptop.

Other Thoughts: Leaving my awesome desktop speakers at home, these laptop speakers really cheered me up, I could hear them all around my apartment when they're playing music.

Pros: This is my work laptop which I use 8-10 hours a day. The laptop performs on all levels! Some of the most specific features which I like the most are the shockingly good high definition speakers, well constructed keyboard and perfect combination of size and weight. I haven't been able to slow this thing down and I've put it through high performance gaming, high data using work and tons of multi-tasking programs running simultaneously. To give an example, Mass Effect 3 runs flawlessly!
The Matte screen is very beautiful and is completely visible in sun light! I have only seen better visuals on high end computer monitors with glossy screens. Lastly, it runs extremely quiet which is a nice choice.
To summarize: Stunning speakers, gorgeous screen, good constructions and light weight for it's size.

Cons: These are minor critiques that don't play a big issue for me, but may be larger issues for others.
The screen, though it gives great colors, it doesn't have the best angles. Looking at it from side angles or from the top gives some darkness.
The home, delete, end, pg up, pg down buttons are a little oddly placed, but I'm sure with time I'll get used to it.
Lastly, if you are doing something that requires a large wide screen, you may want a bigger screen than the 15", for me it works great for my work though.

Pros: Excellent buy ! took one day less then what it should to get here.
* Great look, (Specially on Outside)
* i7 2.3 - 8GB RAM = FAST - Excellent Performance
* Graphics / Color looks fabulous on Screen
* Great job with the Accessibility on the Settings menu.
* Battery life = Very good
* Cheap for so much power

I had no Problems with anything.

Cons: none

Pros: -Great construction
-Good Screen
-Good Sound
-Good response from keyboard and track pad

Cons: Ran into a problem within 24 hours while installing software. Had a compatibility issue pop up with the software and then the C:/ drive locked up. I couldn't access
any of the drives or load the system restore or anything other than browse the internet. So..... I go for the boot disc it comes with that says only for samsung and reinstall windows so I can get rid of the problems but only to find that the disc doesn't have any of the laptops hardware drivers with it..... so now I have a laptop that I can't connect to the internet with(wireless or LAN) and lost everything except basic windows install. Now I'm on my desktop at midnight downloading each driver individually from their website so I can at least get the thing usable again

Pros: Amazing screen. Colors are very vibrant. Core i7 and 8 gigs of ram make it very powerful. Graphic card was able to handle SC2 and Diablo 3 at max settings. Incredible sound system.

Cons: No backlit keyboard. Gets hot while gaming.

Other Thoughts: For the price this laptop is amazing. I came from an Alienware m17 that cost 3x as much. This laptop is an upgrade in every respect. I recommend a laptop cooler for extended gaming sessions since the frame is plastic.
