Great intangibles
By Mark
Let me start by saying there are some drawbacks to this computer: No bluetooth, no blueray, i5 and not i7, and I don't love the touchpad, but...There are some great features that I love on this laptop.The multimedia functionality is quite good. The processing speeds for multiple high-demand applications running simultaneously are good. The keyboard is very comfortable and responsive which is huge for me because I type on it a lot. It has a great port configuration with HDMI and 2 of the 3 USBs under an easily accessible protective cover on the left, and 1 USB on the right - very efficient for multiple devices. There is very little preloaded "factory" software to remove after purchase, in fact some of the samsung applications are quite handy (the backup for instance).The aesthetics of this machine are great, it was half the price of the Macbook Pro with the same processing capabilities, it has the seperate dedicated video processing chip which is essential I think, and the battery life is double a comparable Sony or Toshiba (about 6.25 hours per charge -- with an additional 3/4 of an hour after powering back on after first shut down).One thing no one has mentioned is the overall thoughtful engineering. Not only is it very solid and comfortable, but there are a lot of little things that are well thought out. For instance the palm rest is slightly elevated above the keyboard so that when it closes the screen does not contact the keys. Seems like a small feature, but I enjoy watching my friend constantly cleaning finger oils off the screen of his $2,200 MacBook Pro. You can also charge USB devices from the laptop while not running, and the auto save features allow for great convenience (just shut the lid mid sentence and come back whenever to the exact same configuration you had going. This is very useful for me because I utilize multiple research programs and resources simultaneously while writing, and love being able to just slap the thing shut and resume at my convenience when others need my attention).The portability, durability, screen resolution/quality, processing power (again the dual video processing is invaluable if you want to keep this thing for 5+ years like I intend to), and beauty of this computer combine to make it a very wonderful machine at a very economic price point.This is a very sleek, stylish and well thought out computer that performs extremely well.I am glad I trusted the Samsung name even though they are relatively new to the laptop space.I have no idea if the 430 is of the same caliber as this 410 so I would recommend the 410. It's probably worth the extra $150!

I won't lie - what first drew me to this laptop was its look. It is the essence of cool - borrowing all the best parts from a host of other laptops and putting them together into the ultimate package. Ultra thin, light, and edge-to-edge glass = drool. But looks fade, right?Well, so far, the QX410's brains match its looks. This laptop is fast and powerful. I've been editing HD video on here as well as mixing multiple tracks of audio. I have yet to make it slow down or stutter.Last but not least, the battery. I routinely get 5-6 hours out of the battery and am very happy with that performance.If someone forced me to say something negative I'd say that I wish the screen resolution were a bit higher - it would help when I have an editing program open and a bunch of tool windows. Most times, this doesn't affect me.Buy this laptop, you won't regret it.

Hard to beat for the money
By GonzoRadio
I've had the QX410 about 3 weeks now. I really like it.Pros:- Nice feel, nice keyboard action. Stiff hinge. Looks pretty, feels solid.- Built-in drive partitioning- Nice start-up and shut-down speed- Great battery life - 5 to 6+ hours per charge- Very nice display - love the edge-to-edge glass, brighter and easier to clean than standard LCDCons:- A lot heavier than it looks- The i5 processor is so-so for multimedia work - better than most in its class, but bogs down a lot faster than the Lenovo Thinkpad R400 I use for work.- Hate the keyboard layout - if you're an IBM person, you're going to screw up your screen dimensions whenever you reach for your control key. Yes, you adjust eventually, but it's frustrating.- Also don't much like the mouse buttons integrated into the mouse pad. I keep relocating the cursor with my sleeves. But again, you adjust eventually. It's not a big deal.Overall, it looks and feels great. Good strong wireless, nice port set up (3 USBs and a HDMI) for a slimline, really good battery life even on full-light display. Great value for the money, and I'm happy with it. It'll handle 2-3 high-load operations at a time. But if you're looking for serious multimedia processing power, this may not be the one for you.
