Get more speed for your computer with this SanDisk SSD Plus solid state drive, which features a secure SATA Revision 3.0 interface and sequential read speeds up to 520MB/sec. The shock-resistant construction protects the hard drive from damage.
Nice upgrade over a HDD. It's not a top of the line SSD but it does what it's supposed to do, speed up access times. If you don't store a ton of stuff on your computer, then 120Gb is more than enough.
Clearly view your favorite movies or look at photos using this Lenovo G50 - 80E30181US laptop, which features a 15.6" display that offers visuals in high-definition. A 500GB hard drive provides serviceable storage for your files.
First off, I tried to upgrade the RAM on this machine twice. Both times I got error messages saying that it was "Starting Automatic Repair" then "Diagnosing Your Computer". The first time I did it I thought maybe I had messed up and uninstalled a vital program to the OS. The second time though, I didn't uninstall anything, so it's a problem with the machine, not me.
Second, this machine comes with Superfish installed on it. What is Superfish? ~~> SuperFish is a piece of software that is Pre-installed on some Lenovo computers. This software can break the HTTPS encryption used when the web browser on your computer communicates with websites that use the HTTPS protocol to protect sensitive information.
Superfish can be uninstalled manually, but if you don't know it's on your machine, or don't know how to uninstall it, you could run into problems.
I like Lenovo machines, but this one seems to have some issues. Stay away from it if you want to upgrade the RAM or possibly replace the hard drive. Who knows what issues you might run into there.

This is a great laptop for those on a budget. For $300.00 you really can't go wrong. It's not for gaming or anything that's super intensive like video editing, but if all you need is an everyday computer, this is the one to get.
It only comes with 4gb of RAM, but is upgradeable. I'm not sure how much you can add, but I put in an 8gb RAM module and it works with that.
To boost your speed a bit more, install a SSD drive. I recommend a Samsung 850 Pro or 850 Evo. If you don't have a ton of stuff that you store on your computer, then 128 Gb SSD should be plenty. If you need more storage, they make them in larger sizes.
Anyone looking for a decent laptop for their kids or grand-kids to start out on should definitely consider this one. I purchased two other laptops that were more expensive than this one and I'm happier with it than I was with the other ones.

Good performer so far. The i3 processor hadles basic tasks with ease. It's not for a gamer, but as a general purpose laptop it's a good choice for those on a budget.
The only complaint I have is the back is very difficult to remove if you want to add RAM or replace the HDD with a SSD. That's why it got 4 stars instead of 5.

A very nice laptop for under $400.00. Win* 8.1 takes some getting used to, but hopefully the free upgrade to Win 10 will be released soon and make things easier. Has a lot of bloatware that could be left off. The i3 processor satisfactory for my use. I'm not a gamer so I don't need super fast processing or a ton of Ram. I'd definitely recommend this for a general purpose laptop.

Samsung comes through

Perfect entry to mid-level TV. Nice crisp, clear picture. Easy to set up right out of the box. Only issues some may find is the lack of more HDMI inputs and ARC. It only has two HDMI ports which, if you have a cable box, a Blu-ray player & a game console, you'll have to purchase a multi HDMI box or a receiver with a HDMI out port.
The lack of ARC isn't a big deal really. Most Entry/Mid-level TV's don't have it, but if you want to run your audio through a receiver it would be a nice option instead of having to purchase a digital optical cable.
Set up was easy to do. Plug it in, turn it on and the first thing it does is take you through setting up channels and WiFi.
I can't attest to the sound quality because I have the speakers turned off and just use my receiver for sound.
The apps seem to work well, at least Hulu and Netflix do. I haven't tried any of the others.
All in all, if you're looking for a 32" TV for a bedroom or small living room this TV is a great choice.

Great speaker for the price

For an entry level speaker I think these are among the best out there. Even at high volume levels they sound great. I'm using them as the front and rear speakers for a surround system combined with a Pioneer SP-C22 center speaker and Polk PSW-10 sub all powered by a Pioneer VSX-524-K amplifier. You really can't beat these for the price.

My first smartphone and I couldn't be happier. Family members are jealous of me now, instead of me of them and their Android smartphones.
What's great about it: Ease of use, good price for a smartphone
What's not so great: short battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

RE: Overboard

Why would you pay $200 to $300 dollars for a SSD? I picked up a nice SSD for less than $60 dollars.

Good picture but horrible interface
ByMatelski
I live in a very small house and the 40" model fits very nicely on the corner TV stand. The 26" pedistal stand makes it ver easy to install a soundbar, which is required due to the internal speakers creating excessive vibrations during periods of low base. The biggest drawback of this TV is the nonfunctional user interface that should have never left the factory. Samsung QA is sleeping behind the wheel. The interface is so slow a child's VTech out performs it. The factory installed YouTube app refuses to connect and simply errors out that the channels cannot be loaded.
It is NOT the customer's responsibility to upload new firmware that should be fully functional when the device left the factory. You get an F for quality control, performance and customer service. Every preloaded app should fully function when the TV is taken out of the box. There is no acceptable excuse for this.

About Apps

Unfortunately, Samsung, nor any other TV manufacturer, has control over when a company like Netflix or Hulu update their apps. They could come out with a new version every other day if they so choose.
I would agree with you if it was a hardware issue with the TV, but not a firmware issue. Blame the respective companies for that, not Samsung.

Excellent picture
BySookie
Love the TV, however when I tried to get Netflix on the TV it did not allow me to do so and when I finally called Samsung they told me that the software was not up to date and had to be upgraded. This was not an easy process and I can only wonder why a brand new TV had obsolete software.

It had obsolete software because the TV was manufactured before Netflix updated it's software. The version that was preloaded was now obsolete and needed updating.

No clear instructions for those who never hadv one
Bysmadtea1
There are no clear instructions for those who have never owned or operated a tablet before. Consequently I don't use my tablet much as I am very confused and exasperated by it. I have noticed that it is difficult to transfer photos taken by a tablet to either a flash drive, as there are no ports, or to a lap top.

You should be able to easily transfer photos from your tablet to your laptop by using the USB cord provided. It's not just for charging.
