The Samsung R610 continues the trend of good looking Samsung laptops. Plus, the $1050 laptop has some great specs to offer for the price.
With a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo and 3 GB of RAM, the R610 is a solid home computer. At 6 pounds, it’s amazing the 16 display and internal setup don’t weigh it down more. But, at that size, are we leaving too much of the portability behind? Propably. And that’s the downfall of the R610. Because it’s larger and less portable, it doesnt stand out against otehr 16 inch laptops. It’s middle of the road, at best.
But, that isn’t the end for the R610. This is a solid laptop with great design, so it’s worth comparing to your other 16″ choices. Don;t go rush and buy this laptop, but include it in the group to choose from.
In the end, you’ll probably go with something else. But this is a good benchmark.
