I have been shopping for a new laptop for a year and am happy with the Samsung. I know that it is a good brand and for the money I am very pleased with how it is so much better than my Acer. Windows 8 is a learning curve but Staples provides a class to help you which I am going to enroll in so I can get full use and know all the shortcuts and function keys. It was fairly easy to take out of the box and get set up and downloading apps is pretty painless as well. I love my Netflix app and getting movies on my laptop.

Like Windows8 but there are a few flaws.

There are no lights to indicate cap or number lock. The touch pad does not run every smooth nor does the scroll.

    Comments about Samsung Series 3 NP355E5C-AO1US 15.6" Laptop:

    Basic laptop , not impressed with the finish. I thought it would bed easier to keep clean with the textured finish. It was a good price and the 500 gig hard drive and 4 gig ram was a plus. The windows 8 operating system will take some gettimg used to. I'm not sure how wuch if a improvement it is over Windows 7. It lacks some of the convient features that could be included for little added cost like volume and mute buttons and a wireless on and off buttons, but the price was also a big factor in the purchase.

                    A:

                    In Windows 8 system, such as the Samsung Series 3 NP355E5C-AO1US Laptop, includes Windows Movie Maker (formerly Windows Live Movie Maker), added a new Video Stabilization button, with options for anti-shake and wobble corrections. I recommend contacting the manufacturer of software such GoPro Video, Sony Vegas or Final Cut Pro to be advised if they work well with Windows 8.

                    Touchscreens are specifically designed LCDs for certain laptops, computers and monitors. There is no add-on device to add that capability.

                  If I wanted the touchscreen is that something I can purchase and have it fit my laptop?

                    Laptops are built with a specific type of screen that allows the touch feature. No purchasable accessory can provide that function.
