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.
So, if you're thinking of opting for this machine, you're best to invest in a slipcase to carry it around in, along with your backpack. That's the bad news out of the way, as the R70 delivers on almost every other front.

Advantages: Great camera at a great price. Disadvantages: None at the price, you get a great item for what you pay!
I bought this camera in ASDA at the incredible price of £75 in a gorgeous chrome silver colour (pictured).

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 ...

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 ...
