Review Samsung RF711-S02DE Notebook

Multimedian. Samsung introduces the Sandy Bridge processors to the RF range and supplies a proper multimedia laptop that is even suitable for gaming in the RF711. Why this laptop wastes a part of its theoretical maximum performance can be read in our...

Solid workmanship ; Stylish, but nevertheless plain design ; Good keyboard ; BluRay drive ; Adequate battery runtimes in low load

No Full HD display ; Throttling during full load (undersized power adapter) ; Display brightness is limited in battery mode

That the Samsung RF711 obviously is delivered with a too weak power adapter

GOOD HARDWARE

Expert review by: Jake Mete (pureoverclock)

Samsung RF711 Notebook

Mobile multimedia workhorse with a respectable price tag.

Samsung is not a big player in the mobile computer market, but their RF711 notebook appears to signify an attempt to change that. Looking to make a splash with consumers, it's priced rather well and offers some strong hardware specifications and...

Extremely satisfied, only thing missing is Blu-Ray.

Overall, best bang for the buck!! I looked around for a while before finally purchasing and I could not find a better deal. getting ready to buy my wife the same one as well.

Easy set up,not a whole lot of crap that needs to be uninstalled/deleted. FAST!!!! Clean look, not too flashy and handy quick buttons. extra HDD slot and RAM slot

no Blu-Ray, 5400rpm HDD(see above for fix)

Battery life literally 10 min. Samsung Customer Service is really bad

We purchased the 17.3 inch model NP-RF711 about six month ago. We loved the screen and performance about this Samsung but the battery life was only 3 hours normal use. Still, we were mostly using it home so 3 hours was enough. But, that was just a...

I'm very pleased

with this laptop. I've had it for a little over a month. It was incredibly easy to setup. The keyboard is easy to use, the picture quality is amazing. It's a nice big screen. I did quite a bit of research before choosing this and I am delighted with my...

An impatient person's dream laptop.

I bought this laptop, 8 months ago for my wife who is impatient, especially when it comes to slow processors. She has told me on many occasions that, "I love it! I love it! I love it!" which in itself is the best of compliments. This thing really moves...
