User Reviews for Samsung Series 5 NP530U4C-S03IN Ultrabook (Core i5 3rd Gen/6 GB/1 TB/Windows 8) Laptop

Highly satisfied. Though, did not purchased it from Flipcart due to "Coming soon" label on it for a long time. Purchased it from Samsung mobile store. This is the best machine for the given price range of 55k to 59k. Did a lot of research and window shopping with HP and Dell and segregated several pro's which were sufficient to boost my decision for this machine. Some of them are as under: 1. without SSD, boot time is really fast, around 7-8 seconds. 2. Without SSD, the weight is really too less or equal, as compared to Dell and HP 3. Was looking for something in this weight range without an SSD for easy dual boot option and it has that. 4. None of them (dell or HP) provides 6 GB RAM (4 GB, both Dell and HP) and 1 TB HDD (varies from 500 GB to 750 GB in dell and HP) 5. MOST IMPORTANT: NONE OF THEM PROVIDE DVD RW DRIVE or any other with such a light weight machine. 6. Awesome sound quality and screen resolution 7. 2 USB 3.0 and 1 2.0 8. HDMI PORT 9. Much responsive touch pad with multi gesture support. 10. None provide such a better camera resolution 1.3MP and clarity (HP VGA AND Dell 1 MP) Are they enough to make decision! For me it was! Highly recommended!

I purchased this from Chandni Chowk Kolkata, because the price was 2000 lower than Flipkart. I got this after a lot of research and narrowed down to this because of the following features: 1. It has a very bright matte display, very useful while working outdoors or near some window, as it doesn't show reflections on the screen, and can be used very easily. 2. Only ultrabook in this range to have a dual-band wifi card, means it works over the 5Ghz band too, very useful while hi-def video streaming or transferring files to the network drive. 3. The chicklet style keyboard is pretty good too, and the large touchpad responds to gestures quite well. 4. The specs are much better too than the competing models, offering more hdd storage, more RAM. 5. Finally the build quality is pretty good, with a aluminium lid, palmrest and fiberglass bottom. Having an optical drive is also a bonus, as it helps to play the occasional dvd lying around. Not to mention looks pretty slick. So, among the sony vaio t series, the lenovo u310/410, the dell inspiron 14z or the Hp envy 4 this one is the best ultrabook to get in my opinion. The HP envy 4 is the nearest competitor, with a larger sized SSD cache, and a better graphics card, but has a pretty glossy screen, and a single band wifi card. So depending on your priorities choose between these two. As for me, this machine has been serving me pretty well for the last few days, providing excellent battery backup of around 5-6 hrs, resuming from sleep in less than 3 secs, and happily multitasking between a multitude of tasks.

I had this laptop till somebody stoled it from the lab. :( I really liked the laptop, the screen, the speed, and specially the touch-pad. The only problem I had with this device was the heat.

Though I could not spent more time on the laptop as it was supplied password protected by the seller. But laptop is really good. I talked to seller but no positive response received. Then I talked to Samsung care. They help me a lot for Win 8 recovery. I started using for few hours and checked the configuration. I felt cheated when I realized that there is no 1 Gb graphic card as promised on the order and written on the laptop cover. I talked to Flipkart care and advised me to return the product with full refund. This the story of my purchase. Laptop is screen is non reflective and very good. 24 Gb SSD is an added advantage for quick processing.
