Impressive Performance
Plus points:
On first unpacking the laptop, I was impressed with the sturdy metal and plastic case and on first use the machine is easy to set up and get running. I also liked the speed at which the machine boots up (especially compared to my old desktop) and the fact that there is plenty of power to run all standard applications wihout any problems with speed.
Also, the display is clear and good to use in bright light with no reflections and the keyboard has a positive action with a light touch.
The quoted battery life of 6 hours between charges seems about right; there is an option to extend the physical life of the battery by only charging up to 80%, with corresponding reduction in discharge time.
Minus points:
Any minus points are minor and easily overcome, for example anyone used to using Windows 7 or earlier may find the supplied Windows 8 a bit strange at first, but this is not a problem as it is easy to switch to...

Review 1 : Excellent 17-inch mid-budget choice
This is the 17.3 inch version of Samsung's popular 15.6-inch 350V5C and is similar in appearance and in specifications, other than for the difference in screen size and a 50% larger hard drive capacity. Both were available to correspond with the Nov 2012 release of Windows 8. The model utilises the same silver-coloured casing as the smaller model which is made to resemble the engraved aluminium casing of another brand. The lid and upper case is quite slim, more so than is usual but relatively rigid, although the larger size may allow a very slight amount of additional flexing than its smaller relative (very little in that instance and far less than another similarly-specced model of another brand). The main body is quite stiff and appears no less solid than the smaller model and should be no less resilient. It does not appear to be unduly affected by overtly obvious fingerprints as one in a piano black finish might be.
As I had reviewed that model in some detail...
Review 2 : Samsung 350E7C
The computer looks good, has a good spec and initially worked well. However after a couple of days it froze on me and after trying to recover the computer to its factory settings gave the message hat it needed to be repaired. This followed windows 8 downloading about 50 upgrades and the machine freezing half way through the upgrading process. I returned the item to Amazon who provided an excellent returns service. The computer was collected within 24 hours and a replacement ordered and dispatched before the old one was collected. The new one still hangs occasionly during the Windows 8 updating but otherwise it works well. It has a nice screen which gives a good display. One slight irritation is there are no indicators showing when you use caps on num locks, and the diodes showing the hard disc running, battery indicator etc are minute and difficult to see.
