ATIV Book 2 NP270E5E-K04US 15.6-Inch Deal

Barbara A. Ray: Samsung has long been a favorite of mine, along with Dell, but the ATIV Book 2 has put Samsung in the lead for good. It boots up in seconds and is ready to do a good days work or play. I did install word (work and my writing require it), but other than that I was working on it within 8 minutes. (I'm slow, LOL)
The screen is amazing and the picture quality is as well. This is one of the best laptops I have ever used and will buy another one when this one gets to old. This is ideal for the anyone who wants a light weight laptop to carry with them!!

Eugene F. McCarthy Jr (Gonic, NH USA): I love this unit! I changed from a Dell which I am sick of! This is so much easier to use and Samsung has some of their own features that make it worth every penny. On the down side, it has a feature on the touch pad that you can change screens by sliding your finger from the outside edge. I find this to be a pain as another screen will pop up if I go to far over from the center of the touch pad. the only other thing I would have REALLY liked is a back lit keyboard! I can deal with the touch pad issue but the Non-Backlit keyboard is the only thing that kept me from giving this a 5 star rating.

Mis T.: Great graphics but overall the construction is on the chintzy side. I could live with that but not the OS. Windows 8 is something Microsoft should be ashamed of. It seems to assume you are 15 years old and a complete idiot. Tries to do everything for you the way it thinks it should be done. Terrible OS.My 12-year old daughter needed a laptop for school. So far -- so good! We went back and forth between getting the Samsung Chromebook, or getting a laptop. In the end, I'm happy with my choice.
