review on flipkart
The laptop looks very good, the keyboard and palm-rest area has very good high quality finish, the top cover is glossy and the bottom of laptop is cheap (trade-mark of Samsung to use cheap feeling plastic on its devices)

Screen - Good brightness, rotates upto 150deg approx
Webcam - Not too good - I expected better as the specs say 720p HD webcam
Keyboard - The keyboard feels good to type
Speakers - Volume is just decent - I would have preferred more
Battery - 3.5 - 4.5 Hours
USB - No 3.0 Ports (And only 3 ports, so people who use wireless mouse might find it difficult)

I installed Windows 8 pro (Build 9200), and I didn't require to install even a single driver from the internet. Everything works like a charm **Some of the fn keys like Brightness control don't work - I am waiting for Samsung to put up support drivers on it's website (There is no support firmware as on date)

Overall Windows Performance Index Score - 4.4 (because of no graphics card - sub score in all other categories 5.9)

I would say It's a perfect buy at this price point. I was thinking of buying a Lenovo or a Fujitsu laptop with 2nd Gen PDC earlier, but I went with Samsung, as this model (Release date :23-FEB-2013) hones a 3rd gen PDC (Pentium 2117U) processor and because of Ivy Bridge it has substantially a lot more battery life. In heavy (OMG-I-Got-A-New-Gadget Phase) usage , the laptop is giving a battery life of upto 4.5 Hours easily.

Overall a Highly recommended product for someone who doesn't require heavy computing! I wanted to gift it to my mom, Hence found it perfect!
