Samsung Series 7 NP700Z5C-S02UB 15.6-Inch Laptop (Titan Silver) Review

I purchased one of these as a gift to myself and replacement for a 2006 Macbook that finally gave up the ghost last year. I was leery of the Windows 8 OS but the fact that it had a dedicated NVidia graphics card, 8 GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive made it look like a pretty good deal. After all, I can always downgrade the OS if I want.

So far I haven't been disappointed (much). Pros:
1) Runs games up to Bioshock Infinite like a boss, framerate drops a little when it gets really busy but otherwise it's practically a desktop gaming rig away from home.
2) Same thing for video (like Netflix and HD movie files).
3) Windows 8 isn't bad on this thing once you install something like Classic Shell to get back to a Win7 look and do a little tweaking - your mileage may vary on whether that's acceptable or not. Haven't run into any incompatibility issues yet even on some of my old software favorites.
4) Plenty of storage space, even after installing a pile of multi-GB games.
5) Auto-loading optical drive and multi-touch keyboard give it a Macbook feel. I just wish it had a similar breakaway power cord.
6) Looks pretty. Not usually a consideration, but hey, gotta give it props for not looking like (or being) a cheap piece of plastic.

Now for the cons (the reason I don't give it a full five stars):
1) No VGA port. Yes, HDMI is great, but if you're plugging it to a 720p tv, it's going to overscan no matter how much you plead with it. There's adapters but c'mon, this isn't some tablet or netbook you need to conserve space on.
2) Network port has a weird flipdown partial cover. Looks like it's just begging to break off.
3) The mic is on the keyboard section to the left of the touchpad. The hole and the mic icon look like a blemish and if you're trying to use a voice app like Skype and typing at the same time it's hard to keep from putting your hand down on it. Very awkward.
4) The power cord is on the side and sticks straight out. Also awkward. Everything else I can understand putting on the left or right, but they should have at least made it one of those right-angle plugs so it doesn't feel like it's going to break the plug or yank the laptop out of your hands if someone trips over it.
5) Windows 8. Yes, as I said above, not so bad once you've tweaked it. But this thing is not a tablet or touchscreen and doesn't really benefit from having an OS that defaults to a touch interface.
6) No Blu Ray. C'mon, guys, you're going to build this with everything else cutting edge, making the optical drive a Blu Ray wouldn't have killed you.

Most of these cons are minor quibbles compared to the pros, so overall I'm very satisfied considering the price was under 1K.
