Got the Samsung yesterday. I like the build quality more than the HP Envy I got from Costco (especially the trackpad). It is, however, a fingerprint magnet. I did notice a little bit of a backlight bleed when the brightness is all the way up with the screen displaying something black. I called and complained about it. Samsung agreed to give me a 10% refund or I could return the laptop. I opted to keep it and took the 10% refund.

After CB and the refund, the Samsung ended up costing me ~485 (including tax) vs. $660 for the HP Envy. If the Samsung breaks within two years I am going to eat my words.
Hi
Can you check if your keyboard backlight stays on if you are in well lit enivironment.?

Thanks for checking. Looks like there is ambient light sensor on the top. It is turning it off automatically. if we block that sensor, it is staying on.
The markings on the reflection is so dull I could not see the keys in some lights.I want the light to stay on permanently.

Did you figure out a way to turn it on permanentlly ?

I've read some people just taped over the sensor. Not sure if there is a software fix though.

Where did you request the refund. On Samsung's shop page or support page? There is apparently a difference between the 2. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2...-for-free/
