My Samsung Odyssey Laptop Starts Up Slow

It can seem a little slow to start a job, but prints beautiful color prints and is reasonably fast once it starts going.

I bought the i7 version with 32 gig of RAM. Build quality is excellent. Very lightweight for the performance. Runs cooler than any laptop I have ever owned. My one complaint is the lack of dedicated Page Up/Down Home and End keys. You have to press a function key in combination with one of the four cursor arrow keys to move up or down quickly. My 2020 HP Spectre X360 is almost exactly the same size as the Dragonfly, yet HP managed to fit dedicated Home, End and Page Up/Down keys on the keyboard. For a high end laptop like the Dragonfly, it's inexplicable that they could not fit dedicated versions of these four frequently used keys on the keyboard. Other than this one issue, the laptop is fast and a perfect travel companion. The built in full size HDMI port is a nice touch for connecting an external monitor or projector. The touchpad is responsive and accurate. Battery life is great so far. Despite my one complaint about the keyboard, I would buy it again, but for this price, one expects perfection, not almost perfection.

My Samsung TV was very slow to load catalogs and wouldn't always load an app. It was very frustrating, but the Roku Streaming Stick + solved that problem.

My 2011 MBP was really slow to start up with the old hard drive and I would never turn it off because it would take minutes to start up and even once I was logged in I had to wait to open any programs. It would be extremely slow to load pages online for several minutes as well. Now it starts right up and I can open programs immediately upon logging in and get full responsiveness. It is so much better and I saved thousands by not upgrading my laptop. It was a great value and I was able to double my original storage space for under $100, which was great because my drive was starting to fill up. If you are thinking about upgrading to an SSD to extend the life of your older MacBook I would highly recommend it and you can save yourself a lot of money by avoiding buying a new laptop. I have had the drive in for almost a year now and the computer has been running great ever since I replaced it.

My old laptop had gotten very slow, taking forever to boot into Ubuntu 19.04. I figured it would get worse with 20.04, so I sprung for a replacement to the original 160GB spinning drive. This did the trick - the old Lenovo now seems almost zippy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My laptop was running pretty slow. Did some research on what I could do without getting a new computer and found I could use a SSD to improve performance. Followed an online guide on how to clone my hard drive to it. It was decently easy for me and I'm by no means a computer guru. I'm running about 3x faster. Glad I did it.

BACKING UP MY PRECIOUS PHOTOGRAPHY!

MY LAPTOP IS WAY FASTER TAHN IT WAS BFORE, THANKS SAMSUNG.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 monitor is the best monitor I’ve ever used. The picture is crystal clear and adapts to any game type you play (first person shooters, sports, role playing, strategy, simulation, and adventure games). Only downside is that it has no speakers so you will need external speakers if you wish to not use a headset. The quality is so good, I just ordered the Samsung Neo QLED 8k for all my streaming purposes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 has completely transformed my gaming experience with its 32-inch curved VA panel and 1000R curvature, offering an incredibly immersive setup. The 4K resolution combined with a 240Hz refresh rate ensures silky smooth and detailed visuals, perfect for fast-paced games. The Mini LED backlighting, with 1,196 dimming zones, provides excellent contrast and deep blacks, while the HDR peak brightness of 2,000 nits brings colors to life in stunning detail. Performance-wise, the 1ms response time and support for both G-SYNC and FreeSync Premium Pro make gaming tear-free and ultra-responsive. With HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, it's versatile for connecting different devices. Although it's on the pricier side, for serious gamers, the Odyssey Neo G8 is well worth the investment.
