Advantages: Reliable. Sturdy, Quiet

Advantages: Slim, lightweight and clear display
Disadvantages: Fairly small memory

...The brilliant, clear display on this laptop helps make it stand out. Although it is now a few years old and the spec. has been superceded by most, if not all others, if you see one cheap, and are looking for a reliable machine with a crystal clear display, you should snap it up. Apart from the screen display the other great feature of this range of Samsung laptops is their size and weight. I purchased this machine to replace a Compaq laptop with a lower spec. and I could not believe how much lighter this one was. It is extremely slim too. For most laptop users the hard drive memory will probably be adequate as by the time it is full you will most likely be looking for a better machine anyway!... Read review

Advantages: Everything about it
Disadvantages: Not HD

...This is a Seriously Good Screen. No, Literally. I bought this screen nearly 3 years ago and have had no problems at all with it ever. The resolution is great for normal PC usage and watching films, with a great 8ms rate. There has been no noticable issue with any part of this screen and i have used it in conjunction with 2 desktops PCs and now a samsung R20 Laptop, using it in a duel screen setup. Not too expensive either, and it seems at the moment that we can count on them to create contemporary, stylish, value for money, hard wearing hardware, for a price that most can afford. If I was you, Id seriously consider this screen. Altough it isnt HD, it does the job, and well.... Read review
