User Reviews for Samsung Series 3 NP300E5C-A0CIN Laptop (Core i3 2nd Gen/2 GB/500 GB/Windows 8) Laptop

Series 3 laptop with Win8, Lowest price among the offerings. First hand experience. Laptop feels & looks good. Screen - Average 15.6" Wide screen with HD configuration with viewing angle issue. Keyboard - Keys are soft & nice. Durability can be issue after long usage. Has numeric pad. Touchpad - Sensitive enough. Processor - 2nd Gen Ci3 - Works well. But with 2 GB lags with certain apps. Connectivity - I could not find hard buttons for Wi-Fi on /off. All 3 USB ports are 2.0. Bluetooth, HDMI, VGA, LAN, is present. Except LAN, have not tried other options. Win8 - Very good layout, futuristic. While using mouse, moving between app & windows you have to run pillar to post. I mean moving to corner of screen to interact with windows. This will be a disadvantage with big screen. Even with touch tablets this will be an issue. Very fast response while moving between app and windows. In desktop mode, start menu is missing, that makes this mode redundant. Learned with 8.1 upgrade this is solved. Have to wait & see. hardware - Good. Additional ram will improve performance. OS - Best Price- Best ( I got it at 26.5k. Before price revision for Dollar change). 5 stars for OS & Price. 4 stars for hardware.

I purchased this laptop 2-3 weeks back. After using it for some time I can say it does not perform as I expected. Up Points: 1. Windows 8 is nice, takes little more time to get used to it, but you will get hang of it. 2. At 27K there is not much you expect, but it has lot of things, 500GB HDD, Intel i3 processor, full size keyboard, bluetooth, multiple USB ports, large display etc. Down Points: 1. The machine is too slow. I know with 2GB RAM it is not going to be very fast, but I didn't expect it to be so slow. The HDD is very slow. 2. The looks are not very good. it looks better in picture, but in reality it looks kinda ugly. :( 3. The touchpad settings are not too configurable, because of that sometimes moving the pointer using it activates the Windows 8 swipe gestures, it gets really annoying. 4. Recently it has restarted randomly without giving any errors, happened only few times, but I am worried that it might increase. I would recommend that you add few extra grands and buy some better product.

This samsung laptop is good looking and having also good feature in low price. All thanks to snapdeal for providing such best product in affordable price.....

There are dead pixels on screen after 6 Months of usage..worried about life of Display..

i love it
