R610-64G

 

Yet another notebook trend is on the rise: Laptops that try to straddle the fine line between portable media player and desktop replacement. They sport comparatively large displays (and footprints) with lower price tags than one would assume for the...

Full-sized, comfortable keyboard Great software suite

Difficult-to-see, low-resolution screen

The backup software suite gets the job done, with the now-standard recovery utilities allowing you to easily create backup images with a minimum of stress. I won't ding Samsung for it, but seeing a driver-level backup option in a future version would...

Samsung R610-64G Laptop Review

 

Full-sized, comfortable keyboard ; Great software suite

Difficult-to-see, low-resolution screen

The R610 is a nice looking laptop, but with a low-resolution subpar display it's a hard sell.

Samsung R610 Notebook

 

If it's odd to see Samsung's name on a notebook, you'll likely get used to it. While the company had previously sold its branded notebooks only overseas, it recently entered the U.S. market with no fewer than five notebook lines, ranging from netbooks...

A multicore notebook for $1,000! Well-rounded amenities

It looks, feels, and performs like a budget notebook

Despite our criticisms, we’re reticent to say the R610 is a bad buy. There are obvious signs of scrimping and performance is not its strong suit, but we can’t imagine getting much more of a machine for the price. A power-user notebook this is not, but...

Samsung R610-AS01UK review

 

Following current fashion, the Samsung R610-AS01UK gleams in a high-gloss black lacquer-like finish, inside and out, excepting the front edge of the main body which has a neat red gradient. Embedded within this area, to the left of the offset trackpad,...

Well finished and very well specified, the Samsung R610-AS01UK is a promising laptop for all-round use, and the nearest thing to a favourite on test. We would have liked to have seen useful battery life though.

R610- A Desktop Replacement Option from Samsung

 

Balances portability and home computing

Good looks, size, weight, full size keypad with numpad

Battery, graphic performance, fingerprint magnet

Good Laptop but pathetic review... How come a computing product is reviewed without providing specs details? Their are numerous shortcomings in the review. At the end while giving verdict this notebook is compared with dell and acer without pointing...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Solid value

 

At this price I think you would be hard pressed to find more laptop for less money. Sure you can get more laptop for more money, but if this box fits your needs (and it will fit a LOT of people's need) I think you'll be happy with it. I bought one of...

Excellent value for money at $700. No bloat-ware. Nice keyboard. Good feel. Sensible port layout

Shiny everything

Samsung will prevail in laptops as well

 

My usage of laptop is mainly my research, computer programming such as Matlab. I often have MS outlook, couple of pdf files, scientific workplace, and matlab turned on simultaneously. So far I have not experienced any lag. Though I am a big fan of...

First experience with samsung laptop. I am very impressed with them how they came up with this amazing laptop at such price. In past, I had Dell, Fujitsu, Sony laptops but were never fully content with any of them. Always had problem, loud fan noise,...

Speaker is not that great. But not a big deal. My previous laptop Sony made just had extraordinary speakers. In fact, too good speaker for laptop. But my personal opinion is that better speakers tend to increase the weight which undermines portability....
