I think the main concern is the price, especially since these models have older processors and limited upgrade options. For schoolwork and light programming, they should be fine, but UE4 and game development would benefit from 16 GB of RAM and a dedicated GPU. Of the three, Model 3 looks like the best option on paper, provided you can get it within budget.

Hi Lore, if the laptop still runs well, I'd definitely consider giving it a second life. Linux Mint could be a good option to make it useful again without buying a new computer. Replacement batteries for older Samsung models can sometimes still be found, either used or aftermarket. Just make sure the exact model number matches.

The factory automation system sounds pretty interesting, especially the belt-free transfers and blueprints. Getting production running smoothly seems much more satisfying than constantly managing every machine manually.

The camera upgrades sound promising, especially for low-light photography and zoom. I'd be curious to see how much of a real difference they make compared with the S25 before deciding whether an upgrade is worth it.

The S8 may still have an advantage in low-light photography, while the differences in daylight could be much smaller. It really depends on whether you take more night shots or everyday photos.

Das interessante an dem Test von Linus ist vor allem, dass es ein ehrlicher Test ist, nicht was ihr hier bei Notebookcheck mit Eurem Lobgesang abzieht! Denn in den zahlreichen Benchmarks mit der Hardware von 2024 zeigt sich, dass man **bestenfalls** mit der Konkurrenz mithalten, aber nie Akzente setzen kann.

Das wird aber nicht dem Premium-Anspruch und dieser Preisklasse gerecht. Entsprechend lautet das Fazit, dass er die Geräte nur empfehlen würde, wenn keine andere Alternative mehr am Markt vorhanden ist (last devices in the world).

Das sagt ja wohl alles. Jetzt sind die ehrlichen Tests also bei Youtube und nicht mehr bei NBC zu finden, da habt ihr es ja weit gebracht!
