Advantages: Style, Speed, Use of laptop
Disadvantages: Battery, Graphics for Hardcore games
I bought my Samsung R60 Plus laptop from Tesco in 2008 January.
The price was £399 and this was a fantastic deal at the time, as for the specs this was good value. Got it home and found out I had 2 years free warrenty too!
Booted the laptop up, loaded the preloaded Vista Premium and waited for around 20 minutes. It was very quick and loaded perfectly. I installed my 2007 word suite and installed Mcafee with 30 days trial.
The laptop itself has a shiny black front with the SAMSUNG name on the front, which I find quite sexy. The screen is smooth and is also sexy, but can glare in the sun which means you cant read off it well. The Keyboard has special anti-bacterial things on them (That you cant see) that try and protect you from any germs on the keys. The keyboard is easy to type with and very enjoyable.
The laptop has a Multicard slot which means that SD Cards can go in, which is a HUGE Advantage for me being a photographer.
On the right is the CD Drive, on the left we have Inputs of Microphone and headphones, VGA Slot, One USB Slot and Expresscard Slot
Also is the fan. Oh the fan!
This fan lets the laptop down so badly, It is quite hot mostly and makes a bit of a sound. It doesnt really put me off, but if you were going to use it in a quiet place, its a definite no no!
The laptop does get very hot, specially near this fan
The speed of the laptop is very good and programs load reasonably too! - The graphics looked bad when I looked up the specs, but is perfect for such games as Flight Simulator, The Sims etc. Not for Advanced games, but why would you buy this laptop for that anyway?
The Battery Life is pretty poor to be honest, and started getting lower since day 1 - I always use mains, but the battery is a problem
Overall this laptop is a fantastic buy, and since I bought it the price has fallen!
I recommend this too Students, Teenagers, PC Newbies :)
Summary: Overall A very good laptop for the teen/home user
