I have spent quite a while looking for a laptop on the net, i'm thinking of spending around £1000. It's a difficult decision to make as i have had no opportunuty to test any of the ones which interest me, i'm working only on manufacturers specifications. I need a laptop that is fairly portable I.E 15.4" TFT not 17" and would like somthing that i could use for a few games although i'm not a heavy gamer so an alienware laptop is not an option. QUOTE
The laptops which i am considering are:-
Samsung R55
- Intel Core Duo 1.66 Ghz
- 15,4" WXGA Glare TFT, max. resolution 1280x800
- 1024 MB DDR2-RAM PC4200

- 4-in-1 Card-Reader (SD,XD,MMC,MS Pro)
- robust enclosure with magnesium alloy
- SuperSilent-Mode
- Microsoft Windows XP Home
- 24 months FastGuard Euro Collect and Return-Service
This seems to have a good all round spec but i have not ever had chance to use one so if anyone owns one or has used one let me know what you think I can not find a review anywhere on this laptop.

a little more power. Sometimes for example I would like to play a nice game on it and this can be

some extra RAM, which would be relatively cheap. On the other hand, I am probably ....
