Powerful - great battery life - Windows 8.1 hates Google Chrome

Nothing really bad to say about this laptop as of yet. Have had it about 7 weeks now. amazing battery life compared to my past laptops. Bright/clear screen.
Only 2 cons: (1) Touchscreen and mouse sometimes stop working properly when using Google Chrome and its extensions but perfect with on other MS products (Internet explorer, Office, etc). (2) I'd prefer the speakers adjacent to the keyboard or on the sides of the machine versus underneath it. Sometimes it gets muffled when using it on my lap.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: does not work great with google chrome and apps, could use clearer speakers or on top vs bottom
I would recommend this to a friend!

Store Specific Model
on January 8, 2014
Posted by: SadAboutBluetooth
The K05 is a store specific model. It does not have all of the Samsung software included (such as SIDE SYNC). I own this laptop and thirlled with its purcahse. I am not however, happy that I need to purchase the SIDESYNC software seperately - so be aware, if you like the idea of having a singular Samsung experience, and use all of Samsung's innovative software, this is not the laptop for you. If you don't want bloatware (not including Samsung softare), then seek out this version.
Cons: does not come with sidesync

Size and design couldn't be better

I live in a Microsoft world and finally swapped out my MacBook Air for the Samsung. It was a good move for me with the exception of having to learn Windows 8. I have no complaints other than all the preloaded programs. I am still trying to get rid of them!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: price

response of touch pad :click /zone selection / precision,
pre-installed software that won't work (eg. Dragon) ,
annoying Samsung expert,
Ms Store unstable, crashing.

Great product

Slim design, wonderful ultrabook. A must have for college life. It works way better and way user-friendly than Macbook and other apple laptops.
However, the Wifi drops sometimes, that is the only con I encountered so far.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

fantastic performance for not-so-small price

I needed a lightweight yet powerful laptop that could serve both as a working machine and a leisure gadget (movies, music, some light gaming). This is a perfect solution, maybe even a bit too powerful for me. Great for HD movies, works fantastic with Win10 (esp the touchscreen), quite durable (so far). Only disadvantage is a definitely high price. And also becoming too picky about low quality YouTube vids which are almost unwatchable now...
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: price

This product has excellent screen resolution

I have this ultrabook for 3 weeks now. So far I have encountered no problem. However, I do have some suggestions. The screen brightness was dimmed too dark automatically in low lighted room. I have to turned off this feature to be able to see the letters. The Samsung softwares that comes with this laptop takes a lot of SSD space: I am left with 72 GB out of 128GB for my files. I know that the partition for OS recovery takes some 20ist GB but 56GB for OS and Apps are a bit much. I believe all the apps amount to 5GB. I would try to delete some softwares and apps to free some spaces. Samsung should offer 256GB or higher storage for i5. Sound from built-in speakers is acceptable. No problem with Wifi either, connection is good and I have experienced no drop. Letters in native resolution are tiny but I have no problem reading them. However, other users might find them too small.
Pros: well built, ultra thin
I would recommend this to a friend!
