Which shop u bought this ultra book in Penang? Harvey Normay QB sell $1899.

You can PM me for my price.

is it samsung a reliable brand in notebook industry?

Samsung is a good price for quality brand. As a seller, I dare say that Samsung screen is one of the best among many Ultrabook. And if you are talking about battery life, samsung is one of the TOP 3 among the ultrabook list. Of course price for price, you will get better graphic cards and so on.

Hmm.. is Samsung Series 7 Notebook available in Malaysia? 700G7A model to be specific.

Yeap. Got stock. PM me for cut down price.

Prangin mall

Hi i just bought this model last week.
-Its design is superb,
-really thin
- full metal body
-Spec is good compared to other intel ultras
-and the speaker is really loud.

I bought it from low yat and the price is around 1700-1800 but you can get it even lower if you're good bargainer.


But sadly I have a problem with my notebook. The battery couldn't be charged more than 79-80% max even if i charge more than 8 hours.

-Does anyone xperiencing this problem too? I've requested for cyber service repair but it's taking like forever for them to reply...

^check the samsung application, most likely activated the battery protection, which limit the charge to 80%.

any other amd trinity ultrabook (amd based)?

this is a very very good notebook for the price i dont own one, but if i were looking for a new laptop, this would definitely be my choice.

Yeah problem solved. The settings called battery life extender. Overall i'm satisfied with this notebook. With its aluminium body and slim size, it's very portable.

But from what i read, Samsung n AMD got alot of flak and negative reviews for the notebook and processor. Revwers said that it does not stand toe-to-toe with intel. But from the price, it seems like a good buy.

i just bought one last sunday. this will be a secondary laptop so im not too worried about the low-end A6 processor.

i got the brown (it's not ugly as it is on photos, pretty nice actually IMO) one for rm1849. i stand by my previous post, this is definitely the best laptop for the price. sure you can get an i3 laptop at this price, but you don't get the same build quality and slim profile.

screen is okay but the viewing angle is terrible. keyboard is not bad. trackpad is one of the best i've used on a windows machine (still not as good as my MBP). 2 finger scrolling works well as long as u 'press' hard enough. i like the smooth trackpad texture compared to those plastic-sticky type most laptops come with.

it came with A LOT of bloatware (or maybe that's just how windows machine are these days?). first thing i did upon arriving home was to take out the HDD and put it into my MBP to install a fresh copy of win7, while scratching off all those stickers that "adorn" my new machine.

no comments about the performance yet. now installing windows8

Just got this notebook. Like everyone said, its a great machine, video is really good. Even 1080p HD is very watchable. Streaming videos also no prob.

Except one strange thing, when I'm charging the battery, and watching video, cpu usage immediately shoots up. Hits 100% most of the time, and the video becomes really jerky and unwatchable. When unplug the charger, cpu usage goes to about 50% to 60%, and everything's great again. When I stop the video, cpu usage immediately drops to below 10%, even when charging. When battery is fully charged, charging auto cuts off, and no problem to watch. This is something to do with the AMD chip, I have another notebook i5 machine, when watching videos cpu never goes beyond 15%.

Of course I can just live with it, just that sometimes after work, battery is low and I want to watch something, but not enough juice to complete a movie. Can be annoying, have to charge first before can watch a movie.

Anyone else who bought this experienced it? Any way of getting around it?

Added on November 18, 2012, 12:18 amJust found out that when battery is charged to 86%, the problem disappears, ie, cpu usage becomes normal again...

Any guru out there can explain and provide a solution?

^can ytou check which process take the cpu usage to 100% ?

When I played a video, i think its vlc that brings it up to 100% - in windows task manager I can see it is the number under "CPU" that goes up when i plug the power cord in. When streaming, it is the chrome processes that suddenly spike up when power cord plugged in.

this is ultrabook/ultrathin model , no?

how is 535U3C-A01 heat ventilation?

anyone use VMware with this laptop?

the price damn attractive, cheaper than top end smartphone yet can do much more than smartphone

you mean Google Chrome?
