Laptops: Compare features & prices Samsung Series 3 review http://www.which.co.uk/technology/computing/reviews/laptops/samsung-series-3/review/
The Samsung Series 3 NP300E5A is a more enticing prospect than your average budget laptop, with a good screen, solid build quality and a surprisingly decent specification. It's a strong package, but one that comes with a few minor issues. Are these enough to stop Samsung's 15.6-inch laptop from being a good-value buy?

For this price, which includes a £100 cash-back promotion, its great value. Works from the box pretty quickly- [Uninstalled the Norton AV s/w quickly to replace with Zone Alarm free AV].Good display screen, keyboard seems fine, CD/DVD, webcam all ok. Installed an old copy of MS Office 2003 - all ok (despite the duff information from the salesman that it might not work and I should buy 2010!). Pros: Cons:

All the non-USB connectors are on LH edge making it neat to connect to network by cable, sound system, and LCD projector. Also connects reliably to wireless n. Best track pad I have used to date. Lots of demo software which was the first thing to be removed. [Why do they do it?] Changed trial Kaspersky for MS Security Essentials and has been used by many different people with varying capabilities. Good value for those who want a general purpose machine.

This runs better, lower tempretures i know because i have had it on my lap for more than 3 hours! Processing power is better,its quicker handles all but the latest high processing games pretty well, battery life has been up to 6 + hours albeit optimising the comp eg brightness, power save etc. If any one looking for a great budget lap top get the np300 but with the i5 chip. I paid £479.99 with 640GB hard drive 4GB RAM at currys on offer at present. Pros: Cons:
