Good Points

Battery life is really good. The keyboard is large and easy to use and it has no sign of flex. 1080p video works flawlessly thanks to the Nvidia ION graphics. It runs quiet and the matte display is excellent with a high resolution.

Bad Points

WIndows 7 runs slow without 2GB RAM. The Samsung should come with 2GB of RAM instead of 1GB. The glossy lid is a magnet for finger prints.
