| 2012 Samsung series 9 (15") I really love my laptop, but it's getting old. I think I'd be happy with another samsung, but am not totally sure. Pros: +Thin + Light/small bezels on the display +upgradable ram (came with 8gb, I have 16gb in it now). +great trackpad/keyboard (only now the 'a' key feels weird, but only after 5 years, so I'm not super upset about that). +Linux support is good (it didn't start out perfect, things like keyboard backlight only started working like 2-3 years ago, but it's great now). cons: -battery life isn't that great. I get a few hours (~2.5-ish? I never checked). -screen is 1600x900, I'd prefer a 1080p panel. The new ones are 1080p -ssd is really really slow. like spinning disk slow. |
