Samsung Laptop 2008 I5 Win 7

..first 24 hours..used only 7%..couldn't ask for anything better...

Got this to replace 4 hard drives in my 2008 MacPro when I got a new iMac. I added 4 Samsung 1TB 980 PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD Drives to it. Two are configured as 0, and the other two are JBOD for data storage. So far, fast and reliable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been buying Samsung SSD since 2008 or so. I love their products, The drives with the least failures.. Recently I need to replace some of my NVME and Sata SSD. I need large capacity and Samsung didn't have 4TB. So I tried 2 other companies in 6 months, both of the other drives failed with 90 days. I went back to the Samsung 980 pro w/ heatsink and it works like a champ and it's faster then both other drives.

I have had this product for almost 2 months now and have used it a lot. I have an older i5 Toshiba Satellite laptop and the ASUS-USB-BT500 has worked well on this device. I am completely satisfied with this product.

I was a little concerned about choosing the i5 quad core processor over the i7 that I had in my previous HP computer as I utilize a few adobe programs at a time. So far, I have no complaints with the overall speed, and can't really tell a difference. The screen is also smaller than my last which I was worried would be an issue but I honestly love the portability of this computer!  The Touch Bar is actually way cooler than I ever expected it to be, I think Mac has done a poor job of promoting its capability. And the integration with my iPhone is really awesome. They work together seamlessly and made setup a breeze as it sent a lot of data over to my computer. I was a little disappointed that it took longer to ship out than originally advertised especially since I chose to buy through B&H specifically because they had the earliest arrival date. I ultimately lost out on an entire day of work which cost me additional money, but considering the current climate, I understand and prefer to support local business over large chains. I've only had great experiences with B&H thus far. I just hope in the end this laptop outlasts my previous (also very expensive) laptop. Only time will tell.

Wow. A world of a difference it seems like upgrading from an i5 laptop and building my own PC. Debated between and and intel and honestly intel is tried and true.

Nice laptop. Great display, runs Win 11 well.

Laptop is powerful and strong built with win 11 pro

7 frames/second with 18b battery. Lightweight. No cons so far.

I work in the semiconductor industry, therefore I was aware of 3D NAND. When I saw that Samsung had V-NAND SSDs available, I decided to try the 850 PRO 512GB SSD. I installed it in a 6 year old computer. I did a clean Win 7 install. After the first boot up, I was stunned. This computer used to take 4 - 5 minutes to fully cold boot. Now it only takes 45 - 55 seconds. from a cold boot. Apps now open virtually immediately. This V-NAND SSD has breathed new life into a 6 year old computer. It is faster than my 1 1/2 year old Win 7 computer with a faster processor. Both computers have Core i7 processors . Both have Win 7. I had a computer with an SSD several years ago. It was fast, but nothing like what I am experiencing with the 32 level V-NAND SSD from Samsung.
