extremaly good laptop, bougt it in end of 2008

In those years it has been used almost 24/7 . I`m using it for studies and my girfrend does, and those few times in month when we want to look a TV it also done on laptop bay DVB-T dongle.

First serious maintenance - reinstalling of windows only in 2011 august, becouse get some virus who made my files unnacesible and unfindable (but luckally get them back with program for recovering deletet files)

previous commentator says it overheats ? maybee , I do not now , I just use it and have no idea about overheating even there are are open tenths of webpages, photoshop and autocad .it`s simply works

greit - it`s big and have full size kaybord with numbers, bad - it`s big :) when needed to cary

there nothing is broked and even keybord is almoust as new, only if look at most used letters in keybord in low angle , can see that they looks polished , bet all letters are still in place

looked extremealy well and modern in 2008 and still looks good , nobody with new cheap acer, hp and so on, didnbelieves thats it almoust 3 year old laptop

Good: Design, memory, graphics.

Bad: Over heats, breaks too easy.

Comment: I made an account on this website just to review this stupid laptop.
Everything that is great about this laptop is ruined by Samsung being sloppy. The laptop has major issues - it has the ability to play powerful games with great graphics, but overheats if played for more than about 30 minutes! It also overheats if more than 10 tabs are open in a web browser.

I also had to send the laptop to Samsung to be repaired when the charger port broke! It was quite flimsy to begin with and then one day just snapped. When the laptop returned I got about a day out of the repaired, working laptop before it reverted to its old ways and began over heating.

There shouldn't be these problems on a £800 laptop. I definitely won't be buying Samsung again.
