I recently bought this laptop for myself, and it's a great laptop. It looks very smart; it's quite thin and light. It is made from the shiny black plastic that Samsung are so fond of using, so it does attract fingerprints (but Samsung do supply a cleaning cloth). The screen is glossy but this does make Blu-Rays look even sharper. The keyboard is a full sized keyboard and is great to use. Playing games on this laptop is a fantastic as it can handle games such as Half Life 2, World of Warcraft, Left 4 Dead, Command and Conquer 3, Red Alert 3 etc with no problems. The hard drive can be easily changed as there is a small cover on the back that can be removed if you wish to do so. I have yet to notice the laptop getting too hot, and it is pretty much silent (apart from when the Blu-ray drive spins up). This is a great laptop for anyone who wants a smart looking Blu-ray or gaming laptop. And I recommend buying a 17" case for it (I have the 17" Case from Belkin).

The graphics are fab, I'm really happy with it, it's so much faster then my old laptop. As the title suggests for those touch typists out there it has a minor design drawback in that when you place the part of your hand thats between your palms and wrist in front of the keys in order to correctly position your index fingers on the f and j, that area on my right hand rests right on top of the mouse pad. This causes the mouse pad to light up all around the edge in a gorgeous blue colour. When typing, I have on so many occasions with out realising applied a bit too much pressure to it,when all of a sudden and out of the blue, the page starts to rapidly scroll. It can be a bit of a pain to have to keep finding where you were. My husband doesnt seem to think that my annoyance is a relevant issue! He suggested, should scrolling pages remain as a persisitant annoyance, he'll simply disable the mouse pad. Having said all of that, I'm quite amazed that such basic practicalities weren't taken into account during the design process. I suppose the majority of users won't be able to touch type, therefore it won't be an issue. That's why I gave it an overall 5 stars. I should've rated it 4 stars on behalf of touch typists! How could clever Samsung people be so ignorant? This is a basic requirement. I can't believe that Samsung aren't aware of their over sight.
