Samsung RV520-W01

 

The Samsung RV520-W01 is battery efficient and equipped with some cutting edge wireless features, but it'll take a better design to unseat the best budget laptops.

Very good battery life. WiDi 2.0 and WiMAX wireless technologies built-in. One of the lightest 15-inch laptops. Priced reasonably. Numeric keypad included.

Noisy mouse clicks. Design is falling behind the times.

The screen on the Samsung Galaxy Book 4 360 15.6-inch can be flipped around and used like a tablet with the experience made even better with the included stylus. It's not cheap, but if it's fast – as its specs suggest – and has a good screen, it could...

Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch

  (Rating Hidden)

The Galaxy Book2 Pro 15.6 is ‘made to move in style', according to Samsung. Given its super-lightweight and powerful processor, this could well be true. But we've put it through our full lab test to see whether it's a genuinely good purchase, or simply...

REVIEW: Samsung RV520

 

The RV520 from Samsung is one such product. Costing just £430 (inc. VAT) and sporting a well-rounded set of features for non-demanding use, the machine is very usable and very affordable. The first thing that strikes you about the RV520 is how much...

, which is much better suited to corporates and includes a more powerful Intel Core i5-2430M (2.40GHz) processor, anti-glare display and backlit keyboard for £449 (ex. VAT).

Really Great Laptop

 

This notebook looks great and is lightweight with a sleek design. I really love the side numeric keypad and large screen. The notebook appears to be in perfect condition and was not pre-loaded with what I consider a lot of "junk" programs, like my last...

The only con is I don't like the way the mouse buttons click ; I will be getting a wireless mouse
