Not so sure on the CPU as I'm more of an Intel person, but the whole thing seems solid enough for what you want.

no idea about that product but several family members have Samsung phones which have been no problem.

my daughter has a touchscreen "tablet" type Samsung and she loves it :thumbup:

overall it think Samsung is one of the better brands out there? ?

you could try Argos outlet on ebay, they do factory refurbished lap tops at decent money, a few months ago I bought a HP pavilion g6 laptop, core i3 cpu, 1TB hard drive, 8GB ram,HDMI out, Dolby sound,USB 3.0 etc running windows 8.1 for £270 not a touch screen but at that money I didn't expect it to be, its been faultless so far, it came boxed upand with rthe protective stickers just like new.
I've now gone all European and bought a KTM Superduke GT and Aprilia RSV1000R :D ,
Storm is now gone :cry: .
