Samsung 600B5B review

 

Samsung's latest laptop has much more of a business focus than its other models, but that doesn't mean the rather sleek design would look out of place in the living room. A slightly rubberised black finish, angular edges and a sturdy hinge should mean...

Samsung 600B5B review

 

The 15.6-inch Samsung 600B5B business laptop offers decent specs, robust build quality and various security features. It's no beauty, but it's worth considering.

It is not 1600x900 but only 1366x768 resolution

 

I have ordered and received this laptop from two different suppliers (one Amazon and one BT Shop). I am desperately after a 15" laptop with a 1600x900 screen for my work rather than the usual 1366x768 resolution that you get on most 15.6" laptops these...
