Samsung NP470R5E-K01UB Dr Only Voucher

Adam dietz : windows 8 was far from ready to be released, it is full of glitches and errors. laptop always boots up to limited connectivity for the internet. i have to forget the network and reconnect a few times before it will let me browse. so including all that its about a 10 minute boot time every time. with no help from samsung support they are clueless, i have 3 laptops a tv ps3 and 2 smart phones that have no problems ever connecting.

TheGarbageEater : During the periods of time when it is not behaving this way however i am pleased with the laptop (although keep in mind ive only had it for a few hours now). The keyboard is surprisingly very comfortable, the touchscreen works well, and the overall mechanical build is of high quality. The screen has almost no wobble but has some reflection to it like any device. The 1080p graphics on it are a surprising huge step up from the 720p of my 4 year old laptop too.

Joe Hi-O (Ohio, USA) : I love Samsung products, I own a Galaxy Note 2 cell phone, I have a Samsung Google Chromebook, a Samsung HD Television, and now this laptop. I'm hoping I can have it replaced with a model that has a fixed WiFi card and preferably without the dead pixel. I'm going to give it a day or so and see if the WiFi issue gets resolved, but if it doesn't I will most definitely be returning the laptop and hopefully having it replaced with a fully working model.

Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus NP940X3G-K04US Voucher

Francie Wright (Dover, Ohio USA) : This computer makes me happy everyday. I bought it as a transition between home and work and I have to say it does all I could possibly want. Windows 8 is easier every day. This is an easy computer to carry places with the right case, not heavy and not big. It has worked with all programs old and new that I have thrown at it. So glad I made the decision to buy this over all of the others I was looking at. I was a huge HP fan and still am but Samsung is really nice to work with.

calc "calc" (Chappaqua, NY USA) : I immediately went to Samsung online customer service. I went to customer service chat and was told to not return the computer but go to the service site that I was directed to. After spending way too much time inputting information about the product, myself, my purchase and the problem I was experiencing, I was asked for more information or I would be charged $55.00. I provided the information and was told to take the computer to the nearest service center. The nearest service center is in Fort Worth, Texas and I live in the Seattle, WA area.

VoiceofReason (Washington State) : This thing is slow, slow and slow. Did I mention it is slow? I knew it came with a 5400 rpm drive, but I bought a SSD to install in its place. But once I get the laptop I find out that the hard drive is not user replaceable. The only thing a user can do is add another stick of RAM. Since there is already 8GB onboard more RAM is not going to improve the slowness of the miserable hard drive. WEI of the hard drive in my current Sony laptop with a SSG is 7.9, the Samsung's hard drive is 5.9. What a joke for a $1,100 laptop. Guess I am eating 15% and returning this dog.

Samsung ATIV Book 9 NP900X4C-K01US Voucher

Adelin Gasana : Love this new laptop. Affordable and durable compared to Apple Mac products and top-of-the-line brand that competes with any laptop right now on the market. Great battery power and life too. The audio is solid and the screen resolution is up-to-par. The only real challenge is getting on board with Microsoft Windows 8...which like all new operating system entirely on a different approach (this one--touchscreen) it will take some time to get used to!

vvort : I followed the advice of others and switched the hard drive with an ssd. I only had the computer for 2 days when I did it. I was very nervous about messing with a new computer. The hardest thing in the whole process was getting the back off the computer. It wanted to stick near where the hinges are. After about 10 minutes of gentle prying it snapped and I thought I had broken it but I hadn't. Since I installed the ssd everything is extremely fast. I really like everything about the computer except for the USB 3 ports have a hard time recognizing things. The first day I was having problems with all the USB ports and I ended up calling the tech support. They were not very helpful. I was pretty sure that there was just something wrong with the drivers, but the tech support guy thought I should reformat the computer. I was not willing to do that at the time so I ended up working it out on my own. So, I hope I don't have to use the tech support again.

Jason R : Computer is great. (adding an SSD is essential and may be difficult for some). Windows 8 is Meh.... Battery is as expected and sufficient for me... Lots of finger prints on the chassis. Touchpad works well. Touchscreen is beautiful. Keyboard types very well and has very usable 10-key for those who care. Wanted the Ativ Book 8 with the 8870 video card and larger battery, but I was not willing to wait any longer for Samsung to offer it in the US.

Samsung ATIV Book 9 NP900X3F-K01US Voucher

Robert J. Wayner : I tried several laptops (Acer, Dell, Lenovo) before I ended up buying this one. I wanted touch screen, quad core processor, a good dedicated graphics card, SSD, and relatively lighter weight than my 2 year old HP. The Book 6 came the closest to providing most of what I wanted. My only wish was for a SSD but I can live without it for now. Best Buy offered to install one but I hate to give up the capacity of the 1T hard drive. Samsung makes good products including their Pro series 840 SSD so I may opt for it later on when prices drop I hope. Getting use to Windows 8 was a struggle but Start8 helped a whole lot. I really like this laptop. Even the internal JBL speakers sound good although I use Bose Soundlink. The keyboard is easy to see and the screen is bright providing lots of contrast. I tried a few tablets too but wasn't happy with either the small screens or their lack of horsepower. It doesn't have an optical drive but that's not a deal breaker for me since I DL most of my programs and it would have added extra weight but you can always purchase an external burner. I'm also very happy with Amazon since they delivered the laptop (well packaged) next day in the afternoon. They are amazing offering great prices and I will order from them again without hesitation. Amazon is a company you can rely on for excellent service and prices !!

Joseph S. Borrow : Flawless shipping, flawless set-up...far too much Samsung bloatware. Am using a SSD on my desktop, and found this painfully slow. Considered opening and changing out the 5400 RPM drive, but decided to opt for a laptop with a built in SSD. For this reason only, returned the laptop.

Edward : nice computer windows 8 is just so different all the swipe options are hard to get accustomed to so I use the win 7 emulator works better for me. My only real criticism is the touch pad it does not have the left and right click pads i have been using for years instead
you have to click in the bottom left or right corners of the huge touch pad takes some used to. I alwas seem to miss.
Computer is light weight super clear crisp screen nice update features from samsung and syncs up easily with my Note 3 phone and connects easily will all my other Samsung devices. Overall I am very pleased.

Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite NP915S3G-K01US Voucher

Clayton Chroust "Electronics Junkie" (Agoura Hills, CA USA) : I have had this laptop for about a week and it is everything I wanted in a laptop. I was amazed at how light this laptop is, it is less than an Alienware 14 btw. Performance wise this laptop is right on par. I was looking to get rid of my bulky gaming tower that I hardly use anymore, but I still wanted the ability to play a game or 2 when I want, and boy did this laptop deliver.

ryan sherbun : I am fairly tech savvy and i fall in the group of bigger is better. i was contiplateing between this laptop and an ultrabook. I didn't buy it for its size or the size of the hard drive (but it is nice). i picked this one because of the keyboard and its number pad and i am glad i did. Doing real work on the computer, having the number pad attached is nice. It has a great keyboard, its sleek and feels solid just like the unit. It has a awesome screen, its beautifully clear and sharp. My frustrating complaint is, its side/sync and home network are terriblely difficult to get each devise to see each other and transfer files. Side sync works once it finds your phone. i love samsung products but they put a lot of bloat ware in. i recommend removing it first thing. Many people complained about how slow it was, and it was when i first got it but after i installed all the updates its quick enough. Now its not SSD fast but if you want that you can change the HD for a SSD yourself. Basicly i give it a thumbs up

Paul Alexander : Bought this for my daughter heading off to college. Came in good condition and was easy to start using right out of the box. We had read the other reviews concerning the WI-FI driver and noted the same problem as well. She was able to follow the instructions from the other reviews to change the driver and now has no issues. I would have given 5 stars except for that issue.

Considered opening and changing out the 5400 RPM drive, but decided to opt for a laptop with a built in SSD. For this reason only, returned the laptop.

It : Like other reviewers, I have experienced WiFi drops, but not as frequently. I have also noticed the fan kicks on at a high rpm and makes considerable noise and the machine gets pretty hot.
My main issue with the product is that Catalyst Command Center does not work properly with OpenGL out of the box. I ran the RealTech VR Extensions Viewer test with the ATIV and my desktop and found that my new laptop supports less than half the features even though it has a newer and supposedly more advanced graphics card. The end result is that it runs at less than half the frame rate of my desktop.

Birdee (BOUNTIFUL, UTAH, US) : It doesn't have a optical drive (no CD/DVD port). I'm new to this so I cant judge if that's good or bad. It feels a bit frustrating for the money, but I'm sure its for the best and I'll get used to the new technology (soon as I find out what that is). I do have an external optical drive from when the one on my last laptop died, so I can still install my Lightroom and Photoshop (which Adobe doesn't sell my versions anymore so I need the disc to download) and other programs I have purchased in the past, (I am curious what people are doing do download their products, if you want, please share)
