What is the year of this model? How does it compare with newer laptops in the market, such as the Samsung Series 9 or some of the higher end ASUS's?

I cannot speak to for the Samsung - but the ASUS is a terrible machine, in my opinion. In fact, I bought the ASUS, 8 Gigs of RAM, 750 Gigs HD, Windows 8, and could not put up with the company's interface that constantly interfered with running the machine. I brought it back, bought the Mac Mountain Lion OS X. The Mac is a super machine that runs faster than any I've ever owned, has NO virus problems, and no matter what my question - the Apple forums always answer it. I will never own anything but a MAC. The one I bought is, I believe, 2012 - it does not have the RETINA feature, but the the screen images are crystal clear and the machine runs very quietly. I don't think you can go wrong buying it.

Honestly, no idea. I don't it, though (also, this laptop is now a little outdated, I suggest something newer.)

I bought this laptop 3months ago for school. It has been exceptional. Only has 1gb of memory so kind of slow. Recommend going with at least 2gb or upgrading as I am about to

The U100 is upgradeable to 2gig memory and has more wireless capability, incl bluetooth. I want the memory for photo editing. After I purchased this little puppy, I dumped my new entertainment pc and desktop. I found that I just kept reaching for the U100. I had evaluated the Asus HE and the Samsung. Both weighed more, and the Samsung cost a lot more. I am quad booting this with XP, OSX, Linux, and Windows 7 so that I can test my web site on several platforms. What a solid, well-designed little machine! The keyboard and speaker issues are minor compared to the tremendous value and flexibility of this laptop, and are easily dealt with.

Edward,You're very welcome. I ordered it straightly from Amazon one week and a half ago when it was $949. General impression about it - I love it! It is super fast. My previous laptop was based on Core 2 Duo (2 GB RAM) and the difference in speed is very noticeable.

It has been out of stock since July. There were some noticeable problems with these laptops (in design). Customer complaints about really bad backlight leaking, bent keyboards (in the middle), and the USB slots do not align with the outside shell. Hopefully ASUS tries to fix these issues for a second revision of this laptop. They are coming out with another line of ultrabooks with dedicated graphics minus the IPS screen (:-/). ASUS S Series (this month or next month will be the "official release")

The one I have when I posted this is a 2009 model which I am using right now. This is the best computer I have ever owned. I would buy another one if this one failed .

The Lenovo website has a few different models. Exactly which one are you talking about? 59370007 Seems to be the closest, it has the same CPU, RAM and GPU combo. Only difference is it has a 24GB SSD hybrid and costs a little more ($1049 + tax). I don't think the 24GB SSD gives enough performance boost to justify the $100 extra.

I don't know Samsung series 9 exactly. I think Thinkpad is better because of their technology. I am very satisfied with my Thinkdad X1.

It runs very well. It has a good processor and works better than a newer HP laptop that I purchased at Walmart for $375 For $175.99 you are getting a great deal. The only thing I didn't like was the small hdd, which I replaced with a 500gb one.

I am not an Amazon´s owner or even a shareholder. But, I am going to stand by Amazon in this one. I bought this laptop 3 months ago and the only thing wrong is that the model number 3910BK is not written anywhere on the equipment external structure. It only shows the generic model number Inspiron 3520. Other than that, the laptop has everything described here. A 1 TB hard disk, 6 MB of RAM memory, Windows 8, and a 2.5 MHz processor just to name what I think are the most important features. A bargain for this price level. I would buy one more with my eyes closed if I needed to.

I own the Asus Rog and i can tell you that is a beast. It can run everithing, but is really big and heavy.If you want to game, the asus Rog is better.But if you want a portable laptop i think that Toshiba is easy to transalade.

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on this laptop but the fact that it's been available since Dec. 2011 and NOT ONE REVIEW makes me very nervous.The ASUS A53E-EH71 15.6-Inch Laptop has been on Amazons Top 100 Best Sellers in Laptops List at #41 for 30 days plus...I just don't get it.http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pc/565108/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_pc_1_2_last#3

Yes - Probably one of the best laptops I have seen in a while. Samsung knows how to build things. Very light!!

Mine is from fall of 2007 although they made this model from mid-2007 to 2008. I don't need a powerful fantastic home computer so I don't have any issue with mine. You can find plenty of software to make it feel modern and the internet works awesome using FireFox. If you don't need huge computer power and don't mind buying a little upgrade memory, this model will get you through the next year or two.
