I ordered the 2017 Samsung laptop model but they shipped the newer 2018 model.  I wanted the 2017 because I had already read the newer one''s screen wasn't as bright and had tried out a 2017 at a BxxxBxx store a couple months earlier, and  YUP,  it is true.  In the course of dealing w/ Amazon to "exchange" the 2018 model for the one I actually ordered, the price  went up considerably on the  older (and better reviewed) model, so I kept the 2018.  It's "okay" for what I need, but not nearly as good as my old Samsung 2nd generation, which I still use but now has to be tethered full-time to the cord--so not too portable anymore...
