Samsung 530U4BI

The ; is a fairly slim midsize laptop with decent battery life and plenty of features, including dual USB 3.0 ports.

Samsung calls this an ultrabook, but with a DVD drive, a 500GB platter hard drive, and a weight of nearly 4 pounds, it really doesn't fit the ultrabook mold.

If you ignore the ultrabook branding and instead think of this as a somewhat slim midsize, mainstream laptop, the 14-inch Samsung Series 5 is a fine example of the form.

Light-ish, Thin, CD Drive, Ethernet, Lots of Ports, Memory, Quiet

Audio Problems; Lagging Problems; Freezing Problems; Rattling Problems; Battery Life

The computer has a slim design AND still has a CD drive, which is something that I (and others I'm sure) are not ready to let go of yet. The keyboard has a good feel to it. 6-cell battery last a good amount of time, even running multiple programs.

The keyboard has no backlighting, so it's hard to type when there are no lights on. The mouse clickers are a little too loud when pressed. I would rather windows 7 have come pre-installed instead of 8.

En este post deseo destacar el problema en Cons:

El CD de Avira Antivirus detecta el Trojan Horse TR/Dropper.Gen7 en 28 archivos intro.exe del directorio /Samsung/SamsungManual/ Ver fotografia de la pantalla: %s

Speakers and sound is excellent. Display is good (although the landscape, movie-optimized screen orientation isn't good for writing and working--but this is with most laptops these days). Lots of ports (usb, sd, etc).

Not sturdy for portable use: picking up by edge, or even rapid typing, makes it rattle and groan; start-up time slow,and closing lid sleep function creates errors about 60% of time. Battery life on mine is c.3 hrs,just using word,outlook,and firefox.
