"Great alternative, price is an issue"
on by NateDoughtyPros Battery, Screen quality, SIze, Weight
Cons Price is a little high
Summary THis is a fantastic machine. It would be great if it were a little cheaper though for you aren't getting as much as you could. There are some other PC options out there that give better specs but not this slim desighn.

"Very poor wifi reception"
on by fugazi66666666666666Pros Size and appearance
Cons Very ,very ,very poor wifi reception...looks nice closed with the brushed aluminum,but once you open it:its all downhill from there:the plastic case feels anything but sturdy and its impossible to hook up with my wireless,unless I am within 15 feet of my
Summary I am returning this laptop,which i dont see the need for at all
Not an Apple fanboy in particular...just very disappointed to have paid,NOT1199,BUT 1599 FOR A LAPTOP THAT IS NOT WIFI FRIENDLY
You sure can easily carry and travel with it,but if most of the time you cant hook-up to the internet,whats the point???
I got an 11inch macbook air instead,which feels better in every aspect

"Everything except Internet!"
on by sammajidiPros - Style! very slick.
- Matte monitor is awesome.
- fastCons - WIFI is soooo bad. This is a very serious issue. I can barely maintain a connection. Most of the time, 56k modems are faster. It's not just slow, but nearly impossible to keep a good enough connection to actually transfer (up or down) a large file
- TSummary This laptop is awesome in so many ways. looks, speed, size, finish. Everything except the ability to go online.
If I did not need the Internet with it, no problem... but really, who on earth buys an ultraportable without the need for Internet?
I am very sorry I did not head the warning of reviews I read before-hand. I am forced to purchase another computer to perform the tasks this one was supposed to. -
"Wifi is absolutely useless."
on by yontahPros Looks nice. The screen is wonderful - works great outside.
Cons You cannot use the wifi unless you are next to the router. That makes it pretty amazingly annoying.
Summary Dont.

"Fantastic machine now at half the price of a mac air"
on by fuku2001Pros Portability
Back-lit keyboard
Quiet
Solid build
Solid internals - ssd hard drive, i3, nice quality screen, etc...Cons Ultra sensitive touchpad
Fingerprint magnet chassis
Bloatware included
Samsung included auto features can be good or bad depending on user; for me not so good.Summary Great little sturdy machine that feels good and solid, once its setup to your tastes a joy to work with. Havent had any wi-fi issues as of late, then again i might have an updated model;4 gig hard drive as opposed to the regular 2 and 128 gig ssd as opposed to the 64 on earlier machines. Nothing bad to say about it as of yet, i get a solid 5 hours of worktime on this going back and forth on the net and checking e-mails, tried to watch a netflix movie and there was some stalling but nothing so bad that it was unwatchable. A+ machine, especially at the low prices the first series 9's are going for now, got mine for $750 on the net.
