Not a business laptop
Pros: Lightweight, speed, SSD and battery life
Cons: - Frame: there is no back support for LCD screen
- inadequate graphics to support HDMI
- Samsung support
Review: I've used this laptop for 6 months and LCD screen cracked under normal use. The samsung support is practically non-existent to deal with this issue and you are left with very expensive "paper weight" as you can buy a newer laptop for the amount they charge for replacing LCD screen. This is a design issue as there is no back support for LCD screen and Samsung is not willing to take responsibility for cracked screen. You'll be more satisfied with spending your hard earned money on Lenovo, HP or Dell laptop.

Flimsy construction - horrible support experience
Pros: Great battery life with the SSD
Lightweight
Stylish
Cons: Flimsy construction
Came with European-style power adaptor (bought in US)
Poor customer service experience
Review: Samsung has sacrificed durability for weight. The screen is extremely flimsy, and cracked at the hinge about a month after I bought it. Not covered under warranty of course, so I'm stuck with a $400 bill.
It came with a European-style power plug, which is useless in the US without an adapter. Made a call to support, and once they understood what happened I was told they would send out a US replacement for free. Over a month later (after the screen had cracked) I got a package only to find that they sent the same Euro-style plug as it came with!
On the plus side, it is a fast little machine with the SSD drive. I installed XP, which had to be done with an external CD drive and some BIOS settings changes (Samsung has all the XP drivers on their site, but it doesn't come with a downgrade disc). Response with XP was MUCH better than out-of-the-box Vista, as expected.
Sadly, after the repair I need to treat it like glass.
