I just got my Series 9 AO7 with Windows 8 and it is nothing short of Awesome! In August I bought a 13" MacBook Air, which revolutionized my business travel experience with its slim profile and light weight, and for the most part it is a very satisfying laptop. The problem for me with the Mac was that I mostly use Microsoft Office programs, and Excel on a Mac is a true nightmare of biblical proportions; slow and not at all user-friendly. That was my first Mac experience and if not for the Excel issues I would probably be very happy. The Series 9 has all the great multi-function pad features of the Mac, but this 15" has double the Ram plus the latest 1.9 I7 processor and it is blindingly fast. Win8 is taking a little getting used to but the learning curve is very fast if you are comfortable playing around a bit. The weight difference between the 13" Mac and 15" S9 isn't noticeable and the bigger screen is quite welcome with a length profile that is less than 2" different. The S9 case is sleek and beautiful, it fits perfectly in my briefcase which was a concern, and the powercord comes apart and is much slimmer than my old Dell (which I'll never go back to).I have not noticed any of the wifi issues others have complained about; maybe it was fixed?This Samsung Ultrabook is hands down the best PC I've ever owned. I highly recommend it!

This is a great laptop. well built. strong feel. super cool look. really fast boot time in seconds. The only th;ng I really couldn't stand was windows 8. was willing to deal with it but then i found out that my work VPN was not compatible with win8 so it had to go.It took a long time to figure out how to make this computer boot from USB so I could install Win7 so i'll give some instructions here:1. boot computer and push F2 repeatedly to enter bios2. hit arrow key to right and stop at Advanced. Disable Fast BIOS Mode3. tap over more to Boot tab and disable secure boot; change OS Mode to CSM OS4. Select Device Priority and ENTER, then change Boot Order making USB first5. F10 to save.now should boot USB.

I was very surprised with just how much I enjoy this laptop! I was looking for something light and mobile, but still big enough to accommodate a good sized screen and a decent resolution. I read a lot of reviews, and the general consensus was that it was a great laptop but, of course, not perfect.The first thing I noticed when I got it was how ridiculously good looking it is. It has a sleek, dark metallic design with silver brushed sides. It is definitely something I wouldn't mind being seen with :-PIt is also extremely light and comfortable to work with. It is easy to move around, even in tight quarters. It also never gets too hot from what I could tell, although I mostly stick to just web browsing, so you can take that with a grain of salt. The joint between the screen and the base also has a great resistance to rotating. It is enough to stop it from tilting the screen from moving it around, but still easy enough to adjust it when you need to.The keyboard is fantastic. The backlight is useful in the dark, and the keys have a nice, responsive feel to them. The only thing I don't like is that you have to turn on the "Fn Lock" to use the programmed keys for volume, brightness, etc.The trackpad was the best I've ever used (yes, even better than the MBP). It has all of the familiar features (click with two fingers for a right click (or you could do a normal right click), swipe with two fingers to scroll, and pinch to zoom), and it is much easier to click than on the MBP. There is honestly nothing bad about it. Bravo!The screen is beautiful. I was hoping to find a laptop with 1920x1080, but the 1600x900 is not bad at all. The picture looks crisp, and the colors are bright and vivid. The screen also gets extremely bright; it's pretty impressive considering the big battery life.The battery life blows my mind a bit. It says 7.2 on the specs, but with just web browsing, I've been getting somewhere between 9-10 hours. It's nice not having to worry about the battery throughout the day.In my opinion, they had too much pre-installed software. I'm not a big fan of pre-installed software, but luckily they made it easy to get rid of it all. You just go into the Windows 8 settings and reinstall Windows 8. Erase everything and once it boots up again (all of the pre-installed software will be gone) it'll have a nice little convenient Samsung download center on your desktop with all of the drivers and software that you need.I should also note that the webcam works very well. A lot of laptops ignore the webcam quality, but the Series 9 did a great job with it's.Overall, it is the best laptop I've ever used. It suits my needs perfectly, and I don't plan on upgrading for a while. Although, I have heard that they are working on a new series 9 laptop with a ridiculous resolution and touch screen. So if that is important to you, you might want to Google it to see if you want to hold off for that one!So in Summary:PROS:- Good looking- Light and comfortable- Resposive, backlit keyboard- Best trackpad I've ever used- Bright, vivid 1600x900 screen- Outstanding battery life- Easy to use software for required drivers and additional software- Great webcamCONS:- Too much pre-installed software
