Samsung R505 review

 

Samsung's R505 is a fantastic entry-level laptop, despite some minor shortcomings

Excellent build quality ; Top-notch usability ; Good screen

Screen is rather reflective ; Easily scratched ; Sub-par multi-tasking performance

Minor flaws detract from what is an otherwise very good laptop

R505CT a multimedia treat

 

Sony's ultra-portable Vaio R505CT will benefit most users with its slight form factor and detachable multimedia docking station. Additionally, those with other Sony equipment (like a camera or MP3 player) can use their memory sticks to load data...

The PIII-850/700 SpeedStep CPU provides plenty of processing power, and it's combined with 128MB of SD-RAM and an integrated graphics controller in an i815EM chip set. Running Windows Me, the R505CT scored 129 in our PC WorldBench test suite

Samsung R505 FA03UK

 

The new R505-FA03UK laptop from Samsung offers the perfect blend of performance, style and value.

The stylish and nifty Netbook comes with improved energy efficiency and advanced performance supplied by the VIA Nano U2250 processor added to a 1GB RAM, the Windows XP operating system now runs smoothly with no interruptions

However, the battery life, at only 3 hours for us, means that we'd prefer an Eee over the R505 FA03UK

Also with the new Notebook style keyboard and built in 1.3 mega pixel webcam, the improved Netbook could be regarded as the perfect combination of its Notebook counterparts with the convenience of its size and weight making it an ideal travelling...

Samsung R505

 

Beautiful design, compact, lightweight. It has everything you need and more!

The battery life goes really fast, even if it is charged to 100%, it said in the specification that it was supposed to last for 2 and a half hours, i'm lucky if it lasts for 1.
