Discount Samsung SF310-S01 13.3" Notebook (2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor

Customer Ratings:

I've never used a Samsung laptop but had no preconceived notions about the Samsung. I've used IBM/Lenovos, Dells, Sonys, Acers, Toshibas, Gateways you name it and used most of the non-Apple laptops over the last 20 years in IT. I'm not going into which one I like best, but I can say definitively that this Samsung has the worst track pad & keyboard that I've ever used. As much as I tried, I've had to disable the track pad in order to use the keyboard and carry a wireless mouse with me at all times WTF! What's the point of having a laptop if I can't use the track pad/keyboard at the same time on the road? I've seen other Samsungs which don't have as much of an issue with the track pad, but almost all users of Samsungs have some complaint about the track pad, keyboard or both. The internal specs are decent with a i5 i5-480M / 2.66 GHz CPU, 4GB RAM (expandable to 8GB), but a below average Hard Drive (320 GB) and poor-to-mid battery life make this a laptop I would not recommend to others. In a crowded and intensely competitive mid-range laptop space, I can't see how the Samsung line will survive if it can't even master the most basic of laptop features (keyboard/track pad).

As I was entering my first year of college, I knew that having a laptop would be much more handy and more convenient for a college student. I was kind of on a budget and the macbook was out of the question. I didn't want anything too big, since I bring this with me to school sometimes. As I was browsing around looking for the perfect size laptop, I cam across this one the Samsung SF310. It has a unique shape to it. Although the screen may be a little bit small, it's still manageable. The laptop is not too heavy and it's a very compact size. Would I recommend this to first time laptop owners? Yes.

This is no over-achieving laptop. It's good, but not great. Biggest downfall is the screen, which has a very restricted viewing angle. If you're anything but dead-straight, it's not sharp.

Battery performance is about 2 hours on a full charge, even after upgrading to SSD drive.

Touchpad is very finicky, forced to use a mouse.

The CD drive seems to open by itself if you're holding the laptop from the side and your hand presses against it (without touching the eject button).

It's a little heavy. Sound from the speakers is low.

Seriously? Your document was deleted and you blame it on the laptop?

It sounds like the problem is either on the software side or the human side.

Please write a review about the laptop,not about the mistakes or errors you happen to make.
