In terms of build quality nothing comes close to a MBP. Samsung etc all make heavy use of plastics. I own one and I see all those business laptops of my managers....its all a crap. HP, Samsung Vaio...Toshiba...you name it: Plastic all over the place, cheap keyboards and a plastic cover in front of the screen. A tin foil of aluminum at best with a MBP copy cat design. Most laptops with dedicated GPU are designed for 15 year old nerds. | ||

Most reports about the build quality are either "this is really horrible, what the fuck" or "this is better than the Macbook Pro", which leads me to suspect there are actually two series of Series 7 laptops - one extremely shit one and one very good one. I haven't seen anyone complimenting its build quality. The general consensus I've seen is that Samsung royally fucked up the 7. There's a weak hinge and the bottom is plastic, so there's some flex. And the screen is very bad, worse than all of its competitors. There are multiple versions of it and the Best Buy version is probably the worst, but the upper level versions that have been reviewed don't seem to have any better build quality. Just a better video card, the motherboard cache and a backlit keyboard. People make too big a deal out of using plastic. Plastic is not bad, cheap plastic is. Quite frankly I'd rather have a well built plastic notebook than a well built aluminum notebook that'll have heat problems. | ||

The palmrest area of the Series 7 was similar in appearance to the Dell XPS, which has that horrible feeling glossy metallic finish that will literally peel off over time, which kind of confused me whether or not it was aluminium or plastic. If its aluminium, I'm not surprised Samsung had to use such thin aluminium because of milling and machinery costs; if its plastic, I don't know what Samsung puts into their plastics but its been universally bad for a long time...even their high end business monitors exhibit enough flex to induce backlight bleeding in their PLS panels. | ||
