Good Laptop. Hopefully clear some doubts too.
By Ajay Dyason
Straight off ill say i havent used it much. However i want to clear up some stuff mentioned here. Firstly theres some 1 star comment talking about how they regret buying this laptop being as its 64 bit. I would like to put that down as nonsense. I am running Win 7 Ultimate 32bit. This latop lets you run either 32 or 64. As a tip for those wishing to upgrade RAM and stuff i'd recommend 64 bit as 32 bit has a lot of constraints. (easily found while searching the web)
Secondly when you install windows you might find your FN keys all arent working.. I got in touch with Samsung. Their phone care was a bit dodgy but online live chat on their site was brilliant. You need to install Easy Settings which comes on the CD with the laptop and it is within the program Easy Software Manager.
About the laptop itself it isnt the most pretty
it has chiclet keys which have no backlight
Speakers are decent quality and quite loud too.
Keyboard has a Numpad
Battery seems brilliant
Reasonably portable (light weight but slightly wide[15.6in] buy your bag after the laptop)
screen is good (anti glare ie matte finish)
Doesnt seem to have heating issues though havent put it through its paces while gaming
Hard drive with windows 7 has ~700GB accessible (ntfs setup)
Also woth mentioning that the CD that comes with the laptop has software not drivers. All driver are available on the Samsung website and are model specific. Download all that match your desired OS and install them.No brainer.
Graphics switch between Intel and nVidia automatically
Bottom line
not pretty(outside shiny plasticy) but good performer.
Definite value for money.
64bit windows and 32 usable though personally recommend 64
Flipkart delivered on monday while order was placed on saturday so fast. Maybe without the sunday between it would have been one day shipping.
Truthfully id give it a 4.5 star rating half star loss only for the lid. Inside looks good though
best laptop-dont think just go for it

Aweosme performance
By Asif Ahmedon
I brought this laptop and using for SAP.SAP software needs a very high end system to work and ALLHAMDULLILAH its working like super engine.Even i played very high end games like Dirt3/Crysis 2,.
1.750 GB is provided only with this laptop at such a price.
2.i5 works fine for video encoding.
3.1Gb GPU is good for latest games.
4.Awesome MASHALLAH Battery backup i am amused around 5 hours.
5.Display is cool for web and movies.
i personally give it 5 star at such price.
*I updated the warranty at samsung website and got 2 years extension for free instead of one year warranty.
Pretty good
By Vignesh Son
Excellent hardware for the price. Great option especially if you do not want to pay for Windows.
The external look is pretty dull. But once you open the lid, it looks great. Keyboard is very similar to the one in my Vaio - Great to use.
Battery backup is great so far. But this has to be tested over the long run to come to any conclusion.
Speaker are LOUD!
So far I've played COD : Black Ops and Mass Effect 3 on the laptop. No lags, both work great.

Customer Delight Exemplified!!!
By Avishek Chakrobartyon
This my first white goods purchase from any online portal, also Kudos to Flipkart for compelling me to write a review first time. Firstly, Hi5 to FK team for their delivery... they posted 7 business days as standard TAT, I booked it on 19th April and received it on 23rd April.
Coming to specifications, this is the best price anywhere for the given specs. Believe me, I did a research/comparison for over a month before purchase. This is one hell of an awesome computer, start up takes less than 30 seconds, awesome sound and picture quality, amazingly fast (4GB is phenomenal), graphics card is decent (POP,CS,Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty work seamlessly). Battery back up is min. 3.5hrs with a movie/music playing, without any major apps running back up is 5hrs (that too at a max chargeable limit of 80% for first 1000 recharges). Simply amazing what SAMSUNG has done...
Certainly recommend as a buy for anyone... Surprise is that it comes with a SAMSUNG carry case which is not mentioned...
Satisfied
By Neel Jinwalaon
What my dad paid for its exactly what we got. Value for money deal. There are slight drawbacks like the touchpad doesn't have that feel that hp provides etc. But at 28220, its worth it. I had some problems installing windows 7 directly over Dos. But can be solved once the harddrives are converted to NTFS (via fdisk or installing xp first and then 7). And its a 64 bit machine. Installing 32 bit might leave you with 2.68 gb of usable ram.
a good one!
By Ameya Moreon
I didnt buy this from flipkart,but being a huge flipkart fan,i m here for the review,i bought this piece for basic student purposes ,for my MBA.
core i3-2350m,4gb in one slot+intel hd 3000 graphics,more than sufficient for pdfs,office work,and browsing,watching videos online seamlessly..
pros-
1>build quality,samsung scores high here! chiclet layout keyboard is too good!fit n finish of the product is top notch... full marks for the touchpad too!
2>have installed xp,and the monitor is very crisp with the videos.
3>battery back up--its a 4400 mah battery and i havent rigorously tested it.. but it gives 4 hrs with battery cycle extension option in BIOS.(i.e. charges only upto 80%) other wise its a whopping 5hrs plus,at this price range,makes it quite a steal.
cons-
1>there r no led s for numlock/capslock,so this is a user to user thing.i dont find it as a hinderance.
2>wifi + bluetooth button & volume controller,there is no dedicated button for these things,i think its a cost cutting measure,but this also depends on the OS/UI u use,in Mint/ Win7 the controls for these are easier as compared to XP.
3>online drivers of only Xp and Win7,no vista... download drivers on cd n keep em' ready...not sure if vista will run comfortably
Verdict:
Overall i m quite satisfied with this piece,although i m not into gaming,but will try to install NFS,GTA,CS(older versions)
if necessary might buy the corsair 4gb extra ram from flipkart ;) If u r looking a basic laptop with the BANG for the buck,this is it!
SAMSUNG ROCKS...!
By Rajesh H Son
I purchased this laptop at 27K...and intially i thought it would not deliver to my epectations..but as i took the delivery and began exploring its AWESOME features....wooooooo...! "IT IS A VALUE FOR MONEY PAID"... the packing and customer support by FLIPKART is excellent...you will get what you see in WEBSITE..!
Good one
By Tapish Mathuriaon
The very first thing i can notice about the product is, its price which has shot up by 2500 in less than 2 weeks. So happy to save on it. I was able to install windows XP without any fuss. It has good speed and works just great. I installed 2 applications that I was not able to install on my old desktop, dont know the reasons but happy with it. It has a carry bag not a backpack, so little disappointment with that but as it is free so does not make a big difference. Looks and resoultion (phots etc) are good. If you are buying for just surfing and other ABC work then it is a good buy.
