Samsung Electronics 840 Pro Series 2.5-Inch 512 SATA_6_0_gb Vouchers

 R. Esperanzate (Jersey City, NJ):
I bought this drive after using the Samsung 830 SSD on my MacBook Pro. That drive was fast and super reliable, hopefully the streak will continue with this one. On typical day to day operations, I don't really notice a difference between the two. Benchmarks using Black Magic Speed Tests show the following:

Samsung 830 (256GB):

Read: 468 MB/sec
Write: 389 MB/sec

Samsung 840 Pro (256GB):

Read: 512 MB/sec
Write: 451 MB/sec

If you are thinking about upgrading from an existing SSD, depending on your usage, it may not be worth it. But if you are going from a traditional HDD, go for it. You won't regret it.

Michael B. :
The drive preforms well with write and read near 500. I bought this for the warranty as I planned to use as a video scratch disk. When I registered the drive, it came up with a 3 year warranty and not a 5 year. After two weeks of email back and forth with Samsung (no one in customer service ever picks up the phone), customer service stated in email and phone. This product only has a 3 year warranty. I finally got ahold of a manager. I was told it is a mistake in all the documentation.

I kept at it as I wanted the 5 year warranty. When I stated that it would be better to return the item and get a cheaper one if it didn't have a 5 year warranty. I was transferred to a specialist. He stated that everyone so far was incorrect. It did have a 5 year warranty even though when you registered it comes up as 3 years. He said to hold onto my sales receipt should I ever need service.

They never changed the website period until after I went up to the next manager. I would rate the item as a five but the service is a 2. It worries me so a 3 over all.

A. Semibratov :
Out of 5 SSDs I own this is the only one that died after 2 month of usage (actually, the rest four are still doing well). Trying to get this thing replaced is a torture - they made it almost impossible. In their phone system, when you go through the menu, you got "press one for SSD", you press one, the person answers asks about the product and transfers you. Here I'm, waiting for somebody to pick it up for 30 minutes.

Samsung - ATIV Book 4 15.6" Vouchers

 USMC Combat Vet "Retired!" (Oceanside, California):
I bought a new Samsung Series 3 NP350V5C-T01US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Titan Silver) for seven hundred bucks on sale new at adorama camera. It had ENDLESS WiFi disconnects, track pad fails, and blue screens of death.After 2 repairs that did NOTHING to fix these issues, Samsung offered to replace it. I refused the same model so they offered me this. I had offered to take a downgrade, and this IS a downgrade..... I was hesitant since I was losing that faster processor, the 2 MG Gaming Card, and DVD Burner. But I was getting instead, a bigger hard drive, lighter metal body with less weight.Being disabled, that weight is a BIG deal. I already own a new Samsung Series 7 Gaming Laptop for performance as well as a nice Acer Desktop with 23 inch screen for other tasks.I needed this for all day, in my lap, goofing around online.

So why just a 3 star rating? Well it IS slower, quite a bit slower. I hope as it caches more data it may speed up a bit? But with this slower processor and same slow hard drive as the last, it makes for a lazy experience. Factor in the seven hundred dollar list price (usually just six hundred best best buy) and you can simply find WAY better specked hardware elsewhere. But I am where I am so I have no way out. The other problem was right off the bat, the same nightmare WiFi issues from the old computer haunt this one as well, even with an entirely different Card! Luckily I knew this beforehand and thanks to a reviewer named dissed who reviews the big brother to this computer, the Samsung ATIV Book 6 15.6-Inch Full HD Touchscreen Laptop (Mineral Ash Black), I knew the fix. It goes as follows per HIS wonderful review:

getting rid of the "intel" driver and reverting to Microsoft driver.

1. Uninstall the Intel Proset wireless software/driver from the computer under control panel uninstall program. (not the blue tooth just the wireless)...after thats done..
2. Open device manager/network adapters
3. double click centrino advanced-n 6235
4.click driver tab
5. It should say driver provider Microsoft / 12/5/2011 / 14.8.8.75
6. click events tab to see if driver service added was (NETwNe64)

that will fix the drop problems.

then fine tune your adapter

1. click tab power management / uncheck allow computer to turn device off to save power
2. click tab advanced / make sure transmit power is set to highest
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

So I tried this and it has been stable for 24 hours.I will update as ANY changes occur. The other reason for the 3 star rating is it only has 3 USB ports, only ONE 3.0 port. Also, you do NOT have a battery you can replace. It AND the hard drive are buried (NOT accessible for owner replacement as is normal on a laptop), build inside the case so good luck if you need a battery or if the hard drive fails. Just WAY too many negatives for me at this price to rate it higher.

I would recommend shopping around, reading reviews.Lots and lots of reviews. I see other brands with 1 TB hard drives, faster processors AND with optical drives for this price everywhere. On a positive note, this is a FAR more sturdy computer with a vastly nicer (more solid) keyboard as well. THE construction just oozes quality, UNLIKE THE ONE IN PLASTIC THIS REPLACES. As far as positives go, that is just about it. I hope this Samsung will not be another lemon. I have been a die hard Samsung computer fan boy. But I am sad to say that this will probably be mt LAST......

UPDATE:
After a month is has become a MUCH faster laptop thank goodness. It is also 100% rock solid stable. Nice change.....

 E. Gonzales :
igot this laptop a month ago, its a great computer over all fast & smooth, i recommend it
from 1-10 i give it a 9 1/2, missing the 1080p only thing i found wrong

 James Moss:
Great product I needed a carrying handle and cover to protect my unit. This is great I'd recommend it to anyone.

Samsung ATIV Book 9 NP900X4C-K01US 15-Inch Vouchers

Gerald R Lacasse (STERLING, VIRGINIA, US):
This ultrabook weighs less than half of what my previous Sony laptop weighed, and appears to have an aluminum frame. I'm guessing on the aluminum frame, as it doesn't flex like other ultrabooks I've tried. The finish and color give the impression of a high-end laptop, but be prepared to wipe for fingerprints after using. My only concerns were the limited viewing angles and storage. I find the need to adjust the screen more often than with my Sony which is a minor inconvenience. This model does not come with a touch-screen or DVD player, but I purchased a portable Samsung Blu-ray burner to install any additional software I have on disc, a 32 GB Corsair Survivor flash drive for portability between my office computer and this ultrabook, and MS Office 365 for accessing all of my files through the cloud (and in case I forget to bring the flash drive).

 Collin:
The computer was working fine for the first two weeks and then all of a sudden I went to turn it on and nothing happened. When I press the power button, the little blue light turns on and that's it. Nothing else happens (and yes I did make sure the battery wasn't dead). This is something that should not happen with a near $2,000 laptop.

 Kim (Connecticut) :
I purchased this laptop for work. It is a complete lemon. For $1,700 this laptop should be nearly perfect - it is barely passable as a functioning computer. I would give it zero stars if I could. The trackpad is balky. Simple tasks like pointing and clicking require multiple attempts. It is maddening. Sometimes it just doesn't work. You have to restart the computer for it to work again. Sometimes the computer will not recognize the free space on the hard drive. The Book 9 comes with 256Gb SSD. I had about 100Gb free and then it would just disappear. Restarting the computer would make it come back, but then at random times the computer wouldn't be able to find the 100Gb and the Windows would say the disk drive was full. Another annoying issue is that wifi will disconnect at random times. The laptop will reconnect after you choose your network in network connections. The other laptops we use (mostly Thinkpads) do not have this problem. Metro on Windows 8 on this computer is inconsistent as well. At times Win 8 will not update apps in metro. It just won't update, which renders the apps requiring updates useless because Windows 8 won't let you open an app requiring an update. I've called Samsung several times and they try to be helpful, but they aren't able to help because the computer sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't. So if a technician tests it and it works, they can't help me. My problem is that something on the computer won't work 2 days out of 7, which makes it a somewhat unreliable business tool. I and other IT professionals have wasted countless hours trying to make this computer do what it's supposed to do. Samsung will not replace the machine or provide a refund. Our next step is to ask Amazon if they will provide a refund.

Samsung Series 3 NP350V5C-A03US 15.6-Inch Vouchers

S. Dinnocenti (Valley Forge, PA) :
I love this computer. Starts right up. The set up was quick and easy. Nice and light. I was concerned about the Windows 8 but with the desktop icon you can go to the old desktop with a click of a tile. The weather tile is so awesome. So is the email tile and all the others. If you can use a SmartPhone, you will feel right at home with the Windows 8. Browsing is quick and easy and it is really fast. LOVE IT.

Skilz:
Love it. Would highly recommend it. Getting used to Windows 8. Good for business and personal applications. i love it!

George:
This is an excellent laptop for the price. Fast and very lightweight. We got this to take on vacation for early mornings and late night in the hotel. The only slight disappointment is of course Windows 8 and the changes from Windows 7. But we got used to it in a few hours. We had previously bought Samsung TV's and they are excellent so we bet on their PC being excellent also and it is.

Samsung Series 3 NP350E7C-A01US Vouchers

johnhe.:
bought this laptop to help me edit photos I take as I am learning photography. I needed a laptop that could handle a photo editing program, such as PhotoShop, and lots of storage for saved photos. So far, it's working great for this purpose, with one exception: Windows 8 does not recognize .dat files of online photo editors such as Pixlr or Picmonkey, so that's a negative. Since I am use to Windows Vista, I was a little worried about getting a laptop with the new Windows 8 system, but once you get used to the vastly different arrangement of everything, it's pretty cool and easy to use. Overall, I am very satisfied.

 Yeonjeong Kim:
I tried many other models of laptops but this one works so great.
The graphics are very vivid, programs run fast, and very silent!
I was really surprised with this laptop since it is not expensive but has so many strength.

Stadium Madison:
The laptop works well for a variety of different tasks. I've used it to watch sporting events via the HDMI port and my tv. I also do all of my office work on it as well. Good buy.

AQUA iPearl mCover HARD Shell CASE for 13.3" Samsung Series 5 NP530U3B / NP530U3C / NP535U3C Vouchers

D.D.:
The cover is amazing. It fits my computer perfectly, just like the description says "Custom fit". From a distance the cover looks even better. Very, very pretty! I am very happy with it, thanks! :D
In regards to the other review, I don't think it's fair to give a 2 star review for something that wasn't carefully bought. Anyway, good product, just make sure your laptop model is listed.

Shelby :
This product does not fit the Samsung Series 5. It doesn't snap onto the laptop. I have ordered 2 different ones now to see if it was just on e defective one, but they are all the same. I have returned both now.

Carina :
The cover is very nice and is exactly what I need it to keep the ultra book protected, plus the variaty of colors was also cool

iPearl mCover Hard Shell Case for 11.6" Samsung Chromebook (Wi-Fi or 3G) Vouchers

Andres Cuaran:
Loving it ! Love the color ! Fits Perfectly, easy to put easy to take off ! Recommended ! Also it is so confortable over my legs when im on the bed !

 Jacob :
This case fits the 11.6 chromebook very well. It doesn't add too much bulk to the computer, and it still fits nice and snug in my backpack. The range of colors available is great and I am highly pleased with my orange one!

The stands on the bottom of the case come in handy.

Would recommend to any chromebook user!

Marcia H. (Twin Cities, MN USA):
Adds color and a little more "heft" to the Chromebook! Get one. You will be pleased with how the Chromebook feels less fragile.
