    Good Points: Nice glossy screen - the display is nice.Reasonable performanceNice size & weightDoes not seem to get too hot


    Bad Points: The keyboard is very annoying to use. The space key is nowhere near sensitive enough, so expect LotsOfWordsTogetherLikeThis.The Function Key is where the Control key should be. This is awkward enough for the usual shortcuts, but doubly so for ones like CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT/RIGHT arrow. I don't think that this can be changed either - I have tried several key map programs to change the mapping, but none have worked so far. Home/Insert etc keys not particularly well laid out.No media / volume short cut buttons (well, there is one which just launches their media program). No integrated webcam.Glossy cover gets grubby very quickly.


    General comments: Overall, the performance is pretty decent for a budget laptop. Probably not best for gaming, but quite capable for development. The keyboard problems should never have made it to the market - this would indicate little usability testing by Samsung. If I am doing anything but basic emailing, I have to use a USB keyboard, as it really is that annoying to use. Even as I write this review, I have had to correct the lack of spaces being inserted many times. This alone makes me regret the purchase - if I had tested this out beforehand, I would not have bought it.
