Samsung Aura R410

The Aura

Advantages: Powerful, great spec for price
Disadvantages: Easily scratched

Samsung may be better known for its mobile phones but it's had a wide range of notebooks for the best part of 5 years now and with the latest design refresh, the company has opted for a high-gloss finish that looks impressive and certainly feels cool to the touch. The design is called the "Aura" design and the R70 follows in this trend but as with other machines we found the lacquered lid can easily be scratched.

Review of Samsung Aura R70

Snap Happy Samsung!

Advantages: Great camera at a great price.
Disadvantages: None at the price, you get a great item for what you pay!

This certainly does not making chosing easy! Well, thanks to the advice of the very helpful assistant in ASDA, I was able to finally decide on the Samsung ES55 and have no regrets! Ok, so how do you chose the right camera for you? It's all about accepting there is SO much variety but making sure you know what you want, that way you can really trim down the choice. Also, pick a reliable brand and as I have been informed, Samsung are one of the best. I had ...

Review of Samsung ES55

Samsung R519

Advantages: Looks Amazing
Disadvantages: only a 250GB hard drive

another great laptop! the design looks amazing in every way! thro they could of done something with the spaces either side of the keyboard, i think the black rely brings it out. the display quality complements the build quality in that this laptop wont fall apart on you any time soon. samsung are renowned for there build quality!. the graphics card it good, Intel's own an latest. 3GBs ram although becoming slightly regular is still top end when it comes down to it. that with the processor will give a very speedy laptop. the hard drive isn't great i would of liked to see at leased a 500GB in a 15.6" display size laptop, the CD drive doesn't support blu-ray which is a shame but we can all do without the expensive costs of blu-ray DVDs quality or not. the OS is vista home premium which will run very well on the hardware specifications ...
