A really stunning and solid laptop from Samsung!
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: BKGeekGirl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I think that this is the most enjoyable windows experience that I've ever had! I am a Mac user and wanted a laptop that would provide a different experience. An Amoled touch screen display, pen support and a TB of space to download 20 years worth of my itunes library. Well this PC has exceeded my expectations in every way.
This 15.6" display is gorgeous. I have read reviews saying that because of the absence of a 4k resolution the display is lacking and is only capable of 1080p output. Let me say that I love streaming and downloading all kinds of media and have found the color saturation and clarity of this display is one of the best that I have ever seen on a laptop. It is also easy on the eyes.
I have also read reviews saying that there is no internal storage for the pen. This is true, but it is magnetic and can attach nicely to the lid of the display when needed. This laptop is so incredibly thin and light, it was just not possible to provide internal storage for such a natural sized pen.
As for speed and performance, this machine does not skip a beat. I have been able to do all kinds of multitasking, gaming, web browsing, video chatting and even tried drawing on it, which was so much fun. I have also found that most of the included Samsung software is valuable to me in some ways even though I use an iphone and not android. There is more than enough ram to support having multiple windows open at once, the fans run quietly and the system runs cool. I have not experienced any unusual heat buildup, even with extended use. I recommend buying a cheap laptop chill pad from Amazon (I use a Klim brand) to keep your machine running cool and to boost performance for any laptop, Mac or PC, either way it is a very useful piece of hardware and safeguards your investment. The webcam is 720p and works fine for me. There are useful security features that are built in and it does have the capability to block out background noise.
As for the speakers on the device, they are at the bottom of the laptop. Although I wish that they were on the sides of the keyboard instead (front facing), once you activate Dolby sound through the built in Dolby access app and tweak it to your liking the sound that is produced is very nice. I have experience a good surround sound feel when listening to music and sitting in front of the laptop. Another benefit of using a chill pad with this laptop is that it elevates the machine and allows you to hear the sounds better.
Everything about this laptop feels premium, you will not find any plastic on this device. I am getting very good, all day battery life with heaving usage. The keyboard is wonderful and spacious to type on and it has a nice big glass trackpad. I have the navy color which I find to be very attractive, the body is crafted in a beautiful aluminum. You will need to purchase a dongle because of the lack of ports. You do get usbc and thunderbolt ports as well as a micro sd card slot.
*For anyone who is interested, this machine should be able to run Windows 11 when it is released in the fall, I tested it right away. So far I am a happy customer.

An elegant Apple watch
on June 14, 2021
Posted by: BKGeekGirl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am not new to the Apple watch. Thank you to Best Buy for a great open-box deal on this absolutely beautiful watch to add to my collection. Although I probably will not activate the cellular feature, its nice to have the option to do so if needed. I wasn't sure if I would like the color of the graphite, but it compliments everything you wear with it. I really enjoy using all of the features included with the series 6 and the face is nice and bright, I can read it clearly, even in bright sun light. The Milanese loop band is very adjustable and is comfortable to wear all day, its nice to both casual and eveningwear. Thank you to Best Buy for a great selection of watches and accessories!

An excellent M1 MacBook Pro Upgrade
on February 11, 2021
Posted by: BKGeekGirl
This is by far the best laptop/Mac that I have ever purchased. It is truly a beautiful machine and the M1 processing power is blazing fast. I really enjoy using the touch bar, although people criticize its uses. I think that being able to download Ipad apps, as well as my Mac apps through the App Store is amazing. Some apps that I use daily were not available for use on Macs before and now that is all in the past. Most Ipad apps are compatible. My only gripe is its lack of ports, but I purchased a full-sized dongle on Amazon for $16 and now I have everything I need. I have had this laptop for over a month and I can honestly say that it runs very cool to the touch and has amazing battery life as well. I would definitely recommend this purchase to a friend and or to anyone who is interested in buying a Mac for the first time.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Wow, this mouse is very impressive. I love the lilac color, it is very responsive and I really like the way it feels, very comfortable in hand. I plugged it into my Mac and it worked immediately. The cord is long and the build quality feels premium. So far I have used it for light gaming and creating documents and it works great. Best Buy delivered it in two days. I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this product to a friend.

This is an excellent gaming laptop!
on January 6, 2019
Posted by: BKGeekGirl
from Brooklyn, New York
This was my first major upgrade/purchase for 2019 and I have to say I love this computer. I usually use my Mac for work projects and surfing the web. I wanted a laptop to play games like Doom and Tomb Raider, something to take on the go if needed. I didn’t want to spend over $1000 and I had owned an excellent Acer machine some years ago. Acer definitely did not disappoint this time either. I love the look and feel of this laptop, every game that I’ve tried so far runs great, the graphics look fantastic, my next test will be playing VR games. I was able to install Microsoft Office in about 6 minutes. It comes with all of the needed ports and very useful software instead of the usual bloatware. You also get 30 days of Norton Antivirus. Much to my surprise it was also bundled with a neoprene case, It’s like Acer thought of everything, nice touch. I would definitely recommend this laptop to a friend and to any gaming enthusiast. Thank you Best Buy, I am a satisfied customer.

If you love Abba and a fabulous cast, you will enjoy this movie. Aesthetically it is beautiful to watch, it's a lot of fun! You should definitely watch this movie as the prequel to part 2. It is so worth the money, try to get the anniversary edition with blueray and the digital download...enjoy!

Pretend money wasn’t an option. I’m not buying for gaming. But plan to use a lot. Would you recommend surface laptop Studio 16gb i7 512 or surface pro 8 same specs? Thanks
I have not used the surface pro 8, but I am really enjoying the form factor of the surface studio. The build quality is amazing, and I love the way this laptop sounds. This laptop is great for all tasks and is a pleasure to use. I have been playing some games with xbox pass and I bought the $2100 model with dedicated graphics, it definitely makes a difference when playing games and watching videos. Just keep in mind that the lower priced machines do not have a dedicated graphics card. Good luck!

My cousin purchased AN515-53 laptop on 23nov2018,But we did not found included free offer of "Trend Micro Internet Security (3-Device) (6 Month Subscription) - Android|Mac|Windows|iOS [Digital]" How can i get it?
I would continue to use the Norton antivirus which comes preinstalled on the laptop. Best Buy wanted my card information on file and they couldn’t tell me when I would be billed within the next six months or for how much the Trend Antivirus would cost. The machine runs flawlessly with Norton antivirus.
