Laptop has slightly different specifications than those stated in the specifications here Tweakers.net. The full specifications are:
- Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 @ 2GHz (instead of P8400)
- 4 GB RAM (instead of 3Gb)
- 256Mb GDDR3 Nvidia GF9200M GS (1GB total)
- LCD 12.1 "WXGA (1280x800, 60Hz, 220nit, gloss )
- Fujitsu HDD 320Gb
- TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633a (SATA)
- Marvell Yukon 88E8055 PCI-E 1Gb LAN
- Modem
- Intel 802.11 agn
- Bluetooth 2.0
- VGA and HDMI (1.3) Bought for € 899 at electronics giant in Amsterdam Arena. Supplied in a tiny box 35x14x28cm. Includes laptop, various documentation (including short Installation Guide, Safety Instruction, Samsung Recovery), 1 DVD with System Software Media (restore applications and drivers) and finally a cleaning cloth., so there is no original Windows Vista DVD included. PS User Guide can be found via start menu (after installation DVD ... not viewed, but there also would be best able to stand). Upon first boot, Windows Vista Home Premium (32bit, SP1) installed. This one has a choice of languages EN, FR and UK. Once chosen language can not be changed. 10GB of disk space used for Restore files created by Samsung Recovery software. During installation, user can decide how to divide the remaining C and D drive space (could not create additional drives). No request to import DVD writables for production copy / restore. Windows Vista installation notes, in fact, himself. Processor speed is more than enough to use. MS Office 2007 applications This application is incidentally as Trial Demo included (max 60 days or 25x startup). Combined with Nvidia GF9200 GS example World of Warcraft is running without any delay 1280x800 (with default settings WoW, tried no heavier settings). Try any other games. 4 GB of RAM, but with 32bit Vista is used up 3.4 Gb. Obviously very happy with this Windows Vista. Seen with normal use almost no noise from cooling, which sits to the left of the laptop (which is benefit for me is right handed, I use at home because external mouse). In WoW you hear cooling, but personally I think this is not disturbing. Battery consumption remarkably well, especially considering the size (small, something 5x20cm) and weight of the battery (not weighted, but feels very light). 4:30 indicates battery indicator after charging battery. Not yet measured with clock there, but with wifi constantly and continuous use internet, MS Office, Media Player and external hdd battery definitely went 2.5 hours. This may even improve as I have recharged the battery. Pass 2x Will review later update with exact dates. Screen is only 12.1 "and 1280x800 is remarkably good text to read (MS Word, Internet, WoW). Through 'Fn' key in strength Brightness setting. striking more than enough here is the menu, no standard green bars at the bottom of your screen, but nicely drawn on-screen display Backlit Furthermore ability to convert (almost black screen) on / off.. connections are sufficient: - left the laptop VGA and HDMI , 1 USB (2.0), connecting headphones and microphone (!) - right 2 USB (2.0), an SD / SDHC / MMC card reader, an ExpressCard (/ 34 specification) and the DVD writer (no idea whether this dual layer is ) - rear LAN and telephone modem and connection voltage; - furthermore, there is also (discreetly) a 1.3 Mp camera above the screen. HDMI briefly tried on my 46 "Panasonic plasma and image was remarkably sharp. Does not fit 100% computer image on your TV screen (all sides lacked somewhat), but no further effort to try to correct (if this is even possible) this. Will soon try WoW (is patched as of this writing ). terms of connectivity is also much needed it: Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi 802.11 agn and 1Gb LAN and telephone modem (!). Wifi worked right away without problems and with full speed with my Linksys WAG325N. Not tried rest. striking is the absence of bloatware. During installation, use should be made of Samsung Recovery software. Furthermore, it is what Samsung software (anything from Movie / Music / Photo, camera software, display manager, user guide), neat 'hidden' under separate Samsung folder under Start Menu. Finally, the MS Office 2007 Trial Demo. So have no virus ... The laptop has a touchpad with scroll area on the right (works fine) and two mouse buttons below. The keyboard beats nice, but the layout leaves much to be desired in my opinion. The tilde key (~) is moved to the left of the (small) space bar, while the windows send moved to the right of the spacebar (Windows key + E opens Windows Explorer normally do ... with your left hand). The "size" of the space bar appears to constitute a problem. While typing The keys are further fine of (normal) size. One of the reasons though why I have not opted for the EEE-like notebooks (have small fingers, but then typing is really not to do!). The casing looks beautiful in my opinion. Thus there are no buttons for media applications, there are enough indicators - albeit under your left palm ... - and use its various settings using the 'Fn' button which is always a nice on-screen display comes forward. There are two speakers on either side of the keyboard, the volume is reasonable, the quality sounds again very well from what I'm used to a laptop! The laptop is slightly thick (about 3.5 cm fully closed), but just under 2kg (light touch). regard to the robustness of the laptop, I can be brief, this is bad. The casing can be easily pressed with your finger (the screen you see immediately distortion). The screen will turn you on close, but there is no closing mechanism. Nevertheless serious drawbacks, especially considering a 12.1 "laptop is that it does buy anyway mobility. Finally, a positive word about the HDD. A spacious 320GB Fujitsu HDD (not Samsung?), more than more than sufficient. Basically, with the exception of a great laptop robustness considering the possibilities and all considering the price! Pity the casing, otherwise I had this laptop simply as 'very good' (almost perfect) labeled. include sustainability, I can still nothing to say (bought 17-08-08, review dated 19/08/08)
