Today’s Tip: Use a kitchen or online timer to focus on nothing but work. Set it 45 minutes and work as hard as you can without being distracted on your task. When the timer goes off, take a 15 minute break.

I have several other laptops including a 13.3 inch Toshiba. The Samsung is clearly my favorite. Great battery life, nice keyboard which allows for touch typing, LCD is clear and non reflective.
Con: Does not come with a DVD Decoder so you cannot, even if you have an external DVD player, play DVD movies.
