 Great Value! March 21, 2010

Firstly, great service from Amazon on delivery and package.
This is a first class laptop, just one thing.....be extra careful when setting up, make sure you set the Recovery partition, otherwise it will default to a 50-50 split.
The laptop is first class, I use it for graphics and multimedia work, no complaints or restraints at all.
Well worthy of consideration.
Samsung R730 laptop- I love it! April 14, 2010

I decided to update my laptop recently and was in 2 minds whether to go for a desktop instead as I don't take mine away much. After reviewing lots of different types of both, I decided to try this Samsung one.
It was extremely easy to set up, I love Windows 7-the add-ons are very good and useful and what really impressed me was the keyboard on it. As it's a 17" it has got room to give you a numerical part like desktops do, which I must admit I'd missed, as I do alot of numerical work.The keys are great to use and the overall look is great with a lovely ruby red outside-good for both sexes as it just looks stylish.
I can't find anything that I don't like on it and have now been using it daily for over a month.
Wow - am I lucky! May 12, 2010

Ordered this from Amazon on Saturday with free delivery option. Arrived yesterday (Tuesday). I paid £489 and yesterday the price had gone up to £599! and today they are sold out so I count myself very lucky especially as the laptop is all I expected/wanted and more. Took the usual 40 mins or so to load Windows. Removed McCafee security suite and installed Microsoft Essentials security (free download) as recommended on Martin Lewis's web site. I also use Mozilla Firefox web browser and the Windows firewall - I don't beleive in paying for must-have software when there is plenty of free really good stuff available from the web. As Outlook Express is no longer available I tried the (free) Pegasus email client but could not get it working so gave up after about 3 hours and loaded (yes, you got it, free) Windows Mail Live from Microsoft and so far seems to work OK. OK, now to the laptop itself:
By the way, my 3 choices before deciding on this one included HP Pavilion dv6-2112sa and Sony VAIO VPCEB1E0E. All chosen for their tech spec and style. The Samsung won over because of it's bigger screen. This is a BIG laptop and feels really solid without being too heavy. The 17.3" screen is excellent (I'm not keen on the current screen technologies with high reflective glass but it seems that's all that's available today if you want a quality picture). The keyboard is "proper" sized with full numeric pad. The feel of the keys is really nice and should suit a touch typist (which I'm definitely NOT!). Personnaly I can't get on with these touch pads rather than mice so took the first opportunity to install an HP wireless mouse in matching red which is excellent - see seperate review. The hard disk is without doubt the quietest I have ever heard - I had to put my ear flat against the keyboard before I could just detect the HDD whirring away - excellent.
The one must-have thing for me was the wireless performance had to be good as this will be mostly used downstairs and my Broadband is located up one flight of stairs on the other side of the house. Having upgraded my router/ASDL modem earlier this year to a Belkin N (see separate review) I was determined to make sure whatever laptop I bought had to match. I can report that the wireless is brilliant with incredible speed when using the internet and with 4 out of 5 bars of signal strength. I've not had the laptop long enough to really test the battery but so far it seems to be very good. All in all I am very pleased (and so is my wife who will probably use it more than me!) with this product and thoroughly recommend it.
Amazing desktop replacement - don't hesitate April 26, 2010

I just bought one of these for my Mum - it's amazing. Big, bright screen, fast processor, decent keyboard with numeric keypad... it doesn't even feel that heavy, but that's an illusion caused by the fact that it is not heavy for a laptop of this size. Boot time (Windows 7) was just over 1 minute. My Mum loves it, and uploaded some pictures to facebook in no time.
Like some others I uninstalled McAfee and installed a less invasive, free anti-virus programme (Avast).
If you are looking for a desktop replacement - this is it. Samsung build quality is excellent at the moment. At this price this is a fantastic buy: don't hesitate.
First lap top and very impressed April 12, 2010

This is my first lap top and it was so easy to set up. Love the 17.3 inch screen. The touch pad is sensitive but once you are used to it, it is very quick to respond.
Not the lightest laptop on the market but very sturdy. Speakers are a little tinny but good enough for playing back ground music when working. All in all very pleased with this machine.
