Samsung Q45 Core 2 Duo T5550 1.83 GHz - 12.1" TFT

Advantages: Small, Light, Good battery life and overall performance, High Spec
Disadvantages: Lags occasionally, Superceded by newer model

...After being given a laptop a few years back, I found that I didn't bother to use it because it was heavy and I didn't want to carry the thing around, so I decided to sell it and look for a lighter laptop. Looking at the range of Ultra Mobile laptops, the Samsung Q35 caught my eye. The Samsung brand, stylish design and specifications in particular, made me decide on this one in May 2007. It has a 12.1", which allows it to be classed as an Ultra Mobile laptop. This was important to me as smaller laptops are generally lighter and have better battery life. SPECIFICATION One of the reasons that I chose the Q35 is because it has a 2GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, which is one of the fastest processors out at the time. The 2.2GHz being the highest, but that was insanely expensive and it was not available for the Q35, only larger laptops. I... Read review

...of RaAM, so I can't swear it is this HSDPA which is making it faster, or something else in the laptop but I can tell you it is fast - a couple of minutes for a DVD from I love Film, for example. For those of you who like specs this laptop has: * Intel® Centrino™ Duo (1.8Ghz) * 2GB RAM * 160GB HDD SATA * DVD/RW Super Multi DL Drive * Wireless 802.11a/b/g LAN * Webcam * Bluetooth *Graphics Controller: Intel X3000 128MB * Fax / modem - 56 Kbps * Stereo speakers * Windows Vista Home Premium * Display 12.1" WXGA (1280x800) Super Bright Gloss Weight 1.86 kg Manufacturer Warranty 1 year warranty So far so good with it - I've only had it a week though, so can't comment on reliability. It looks great, is really lightweight and powerful and though there are cheaper laptops out... Read review

Advantages: High Spec, Powerful, Comfortable to use, System management
Disadvantages: Small touch pad, poor mouse buttons, poor sound from speakers

...try to watch a good movie unless you're using headphones or plugged into an external speaker system. Connectivity - The Laptop I am using has a built in 56k modem, wifi enabled, bluetooth, ethernet connection and firewire. There is a button to disable the wireless connections (wifi and Bluetooth). The CD tray is actually a double layer DVD burner, maybe a little overkill for a laptop in my opinion, but handy to have I suppose. Now, from what I gather, this laptop has a 1.8Ghz Intel Core Duo processor, 512Mb ram, A GE Force graphics card and an 80 Gb hard drive. I have to say I have played a couple of games including FIFA07, Deer Hunter and Settlers 2 and they've ran well, very well. I don't sopend a lit of time playing games though so can't give a good review of the graphics card. I'm currently working on some web stuff... Read review
