I bought this laptop as an upgrade a couple of years ago and have been very happy with my buy. It cost £479
from argos when I bought it the price will not doubt have plummeted by now I think it was a fantasic price never had a single problem with breakdowns nor have a came across anything it cant do granted im not a hardcore computer expert/user but I have used it for various things gaming , writing documents and streaming films all of which have worked just fine.

The laptop came with windows 7 premium which is still used everywhere though I understand windows are bringing a new vewrsion out soon. The hard drive is 320G which has been more than enough for me I cant say I have ever filled it but I do delete things every now and then . It comes with duel core processor which is 2.2GHZ and 3G ram I not totally sure what these are but when shopping for a laptop I read many many reveiws these were things that people were really raving about when talking about the Samsung R530.

The laptop looks awesome dark red on the outside silver on the inside it looks very different from other laptops but in a good way its also quit light which isnt a big thing for me but is helpful I suppose .

Overall I would recommend this laptop it has more than given back the money I paid for it mabye its starting to get a bit dated now so I expect to get another year out of it while waiting for the new windows to get cheaper I will however be looking out for newer versions of the R530 when upgrading it has been everywhere with me travelling india ,round the house and up and down the country its never let me don yet

hope this was helpful

Thanks
