"Great Laptop-Happy!" 2010-05-13
By Carol Gilliam (Western NC)
I did some research on laptops for good reviews and this laptop had really good reviews.
I was going to get a Dell Inspirion 15, but after doing some research, I settled on
this Samsung 530. So far, I have found nothing that I do not like about this laptop.
I love the dark red color for a change. The keypad is very easy and comfortable to use.
The wide screen is nice and the graphics etc. show up so clearly and bright. It is quite
a solid and well built computer as far as I can tell. It is lighter than my old Dell which
will help when traveling through airports, etc. Just an all around good laptop for me and
my uses and for the price I wanted to pay. The price on Amazon was the cheapest I could find.
I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

"Samsung R530 Great for the price" 2010-04-19
By H. Sung
It's great for the price you pay. I'd recommend it. The only downside is the weight, and it is a bit bulky, but it works great. No issues with respect to its performance so far.

"Great Laptop!" 2010-04-17
By Sam (Cinnaminson, NJ)
I have owned many other laptops but this one is really special. The price is great, it was delivered to me in a day, and I was online and getting things done in less than half an hour. Easy to use, great keyboard, and I love the number keypad on the side (no need to purchase anything separate if you use the number keys often). The screen size is great and the quality of the graphics is exceptional. I've only owned it a few days but I absolutely love this laptop and would recommend it to anyone!

"fast delivery" 2010-03-11
By malashka (new york)
I was happy that the computer was delivered fast. My previous puchases from other Amazon vendors took very long. The computer is light and beautiful like everything that Samsung makes. It works fine except for the DVD/CD slot that gets stuck and needs to be pressed a few times before it opens. I have not seen that problem before in my several Sony computers. Otherwise it is a delight.
