Nice laptop, very light, great screen

First off I have to say this is the lightest laptop I have ever owned. The specifications are very good. However, there are minor oddities that I had to live with. First, while I like the fingerprint sensor for login, they cut the right Shift key in half to put the fingerprint sensor there. I had to get used to this special modification because I was constantly missing the shift key. The body of the laptop flexes, particularly the underside where the vents are located. I feel like I have to be extra careful not to compress the laptop to avoid bending the case. It didn't happen, so it could be me, but I don't want to tempt fate either. The mouse pad is good but the sensitivity can be a bit high. I often use the pad with my right palm when using the keyboard. I haven't found a way to lower the sensitivity. For this class of laptops, Samsung has opted for a traditional power plug instead of a new magnetic type. Bad move of them there. The magnetic power cord is perfect for this laptop and increases its respectability. Well, apart from the above, there are so many things that I love about this laptop. The notebook is very light. Nice to look at from the side. The backlit keyboard is good. The screen is generally nice. Keyboard keys feel good. Aesthetically, this laptop is without a doubt a winner. Because of this, anything I don't like is overshadowed by how good this laptop is. But price wise, the quirks shouldn't have been missed in my opinion, so it would only be fair to deduct a star for utter worthlessness.

Pros
  • Computer and Accessories
Cons
  • Poorly designed
