Having a Samsung phone, tablet and having great experiences, I had high hopes for this laptop and thought it could be a W. Unfortunately, it has not met the expectations I had set and turned out to be an L. The laptop is riddled with so many issues that I had originally thought it was faulty. I did manage to fix most of them, but it required a clean install, and nuking the whole drive of the bloatware Samsung preinstalls. I will outline a few issues I had.
1) Out of the box, battery life was about 2-3 hours on a full charge.
2) The lag!! The lag was horrendous. It ran slow and would constantly freeze up. This made it borderline unusable.
3) Fan noise and heating issues. It would get very hot to the touch and the fans would kick in from basic web browsing.
As I said, the clean install did go a long way to help with these issues, but it is still not perfect, and it should not be required anyway. Samsung need to stop loading their laptops with their software. And stop putting Mcafee on them too.
It is a shame because there are many things about the laptop to like. The screen in particular is on another level to what I have experienced on a laptop. This might be the best screen on any laptop. It really is something special when you first see it.
