This review is from: Samsung Series 5 NP530U4C-A01US 14-Inch Ultrabook (Light Titan) (Personal Computers)
I have been looking at Ultrabooks for the past six months. Each week, a new entry is offered from one of the many vendors. After reading all the reviews and trying out some of the products, I ordered the Samsung Series 5 and am thrilled with my choice. I was sending emails within 5 minutes of getting it out of the box. The software loaded in no time without the need for written instructions. At the end of the first week, I can’t think of a negative to mention–it is exactly what I was looking for and under $1,000. Next week it goes on its first business trip and I can learn about “true battery life”. Wish me luck.

Great laptop and good price. It’s light weight and sturdy. We just bought the Samsung Ultrabook 14″ model with 750gb hard disk and 4gb ram at Costco for $749 this weekend.

I have had the laptop for four days now and my overall impression is that I like it very much. I did have an initial problem with the wireless adapter. It would drop connection randomly, sometimes after working for hours, other times after only a few minutes. My only option was to reboot to reestablish the connection. I got on the Intel web site and looked for support on the Intel adapter. it is an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235. The Intel web site has an app that will analyze your computer and it found an updated driver. Once I installed the new driver I have not had any problems with the wireless adapter. Computer performance is very good. It boots up quickly and restart from sleep is very fast. The touch pad works very smoothly, however the buttons are small and if your thumb hangs over onto the touch pad (mine does sometime), the touch pad doesn’t work. The keys on the keyboard are sized and spaced correctly. However, they are very shallow which takes a little getting used to. The computer is compact and very lightweight at just under 4 pounds. Even though the screen is smaller than my old laptop (16 inch Toshiba), it is very readable. I haven’t ran the battery down fully, but I estimate the battery charge to last around five hours in performance mode. Power saver mode would obviously improve on that. At this point I would not hesitate to recommend this computer.
