Bottom Line:: Samsung's midprice Series 5 UltraTouch looks and feels like a more expensive machine, but keeps it simple by skipping the complex hybrid mechanics of so many new Windows 8 systems.

Sleek, great touch screen, good for daily business

by RPnaude on April 11, 2013

Pros: great touch screen interface, keypad easy to use, Microsoft touch operating system is very good, have not tested battery life yet, seems to be a good day to day business computer for those traveling often

Cons: has 2 USB ports, this laptop is very slim so I can see why they only have 2, battery lift seems to be low in general, 2+ hours, was hoping for something with 4+ hours, screen resolution seems fine to me

Summary: Overall this laptop seemed like a bargain at below $700. The touch screen is excellent, the resolution seems perfect to me. Its slim and professional looking, seems to have a ...

Summary: Overall this laptop seemed like a bargain at below $700. The touch screen is excellent, the resolution seems perfect to me. Its slim and professional looking, seems to have a good amount of RAM, speed and memory and for a day to day business, road warrior laptop I think its going to work great. I wouldnt pay over $675 for this laptop. If you can get it in that price range, I would buy it for a business travel laptop, or a personal laptop that sleek and ready to move with you on the go.

Very nice product

by Samsung_Laptop_lover on March 27, 2013

Pros: easy to setup

Cons: if you have problem when you start up from first time, try to update every thing. However, if you update all problem still that contract with your retail to exchange (Don't contract Samsung, they never admit they have defective product)

Summary: Very good, low price, battery life not that long, if have problem just contract your retail.
