    Hi.

    I am thinking about purchasing Samsung Series 5 NP550P5C-T01US 15" notebook..
    Anyone using this notebook can give me a brief review? Fast, any repair issues?

    Samsung claims the battery life is 6 hours. Can anyone confirm this?
    The laptop weight states on the Tech Specs 5.5 lbs. Do you find this to heavy to carry around?

    Thanks.
    TC.

    I see the battery capacity is 48Whr so 6 hours run time will require a very dim screen, very light CPU usage and no wireless devices enabled. In reality you are more likely to get 4 to 5 hours unless good a minimising power usage.

    This thread about the NP550P5C may contain some useful info.
