I bought this to replace a heavy 15" laptop, working on XP.
As a relative Luddite with computers I didn't need anything too techy in the set up. Even an old git like me was able to start it up immediately. The external CD gizmo is excellent and means you only carry it when you need it, which in the age of USB sticks is becoming less. The screen quality is excellent and for a light weight unit it has a robust feel.
The wireless is easy to use and has picked in a variety of airport lounges and hotels with no problem. The battery life is excellent and the charging lead is a sensible size and weight. I carry a small mouse but when using the touchpad have found the scrolling easy to do as well as usual functions.
The speakers are quite good for such a small unit.
Windows 7 is excellent and the speed of the computer is good.
I am overall very happy with the capability and quality and have defied Moore's Law as the price has gone up by nearly 100 pounds since I bought it. I did much price related research and Amazon were cheapest.
They did frig about a bit on the deliver but to be fair it was snowing heavily in the week it was delivered (in the UK, not Bangladesh!)

This is my second Samsung, having gone back to the brand after an uncomfortable three years with a Toshiba. After just a few weeks this is proving to have been a good purchase. The x420 is lightweight and a comfortable size, being thin enough to slip into any briefcase, and although predominantly plastic, with a little flex, the chassis seems sturdy and there is no flex in the lid. The battery lives up to the claims in the sense of lasting long enough for a full day's work between charges, although you can't really go by the predicted life given by hovering over the battery icon. The specification seems very well chosen for Windows 7. The processor seems fast enough for the tasks I set it, including a degree of multi-tasking of office programs. I don't use it for anything very ambitious. The inclusion of a DVD external drive is a boon and beats most direct competitors for this type of machine. The keyboard is good, although I am used to a slightly different layout so am having to adapt. The keys are a convenient size and easy to type on, if very slightly clattery compared with some. It is better than most. The screen is a highlight, being bright and clear. The shiny surface picks up dust and prints, and is not great in sun - but who gets sun in Scotland? I am still getting used to the multi-touch trackpad, which sometimes does not seems as responsive as I might like, but suspect that this is down to set-up sensitivity. I'll try adjustments when I have time.
Overall, I am very pleased.

Got this Samsung X420 last week. Delivery from Amazon was very quick.
The laptop was is a very good buy and am very happy with the quality and performance.
I wanted a light laptop that I can pick up with ease as I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in my wrists and fingers. This 14" is just perfect as a watch films on it a lot. The screen quality is really very good. The keyboard size and layout is just right and the keys are a good size. The touch pad and buttons are also a good size.
The battery life lives up to its claims. The laptop even comes with an external DVD-RW. So far Windows 7 hasn't given me any problems and I am enjoying the experience.
All in all one of my best buys so far this year. I look forward to many many hours of enjoyment from the Samsung X420 and would recommend it to anyone wanting a new light weight good quality laptop.
