Comments about Samsung Series 7 NP700Z5A-S06US 15.6" Notebook Computer:
use it to store/download pictures and for connecting to the internet, checking emails while travelling
The unit is fairly fast and easy to use. No real problems connecting via WiFi or ethernet.
The screen is more difficult to see than I expected, you have to set the angle very precisely. off-angle viewing is not good. Once the angle is set, the display is quite sharp and colors well balanced.
The mic/headphone is on one jack - have not been able to find a headset that fits and I didnt want to waste a USB port for a headset. There are only 3 ports and I am already using one of them for a wireless mouse.
There is no eject function key - to eject a CD you have to go to Windows Explorer, open the drive and select the eject function.

Comments about Samsung Series 7 NP700Z5A-S06US 15.6" Notebook Computer:
I bought the Samsung NP700Z5A to use as a photo editing laptop because of it large, matte screen, dedicated graphics memory, large hard disk, RAM and processor speed. It works great! The Samsung system management utilities make this machine even easier to use. It is easy to customize and there are lots of options, if desired. Plus it's thin and has long battery life- 6 to 7 hours.
