When we think Samsung, TVs and cellphones come to mind, laptops, less so. So when Samsung's PR called us and told us to expect a parcel, we weren't expecting something that came in a carton that was a square 18-inches. Opening this package revealed the RC510 or more accurately, the RC-510-S061N – a rather nondescript name, and one that sounds decidedly OEM rather than retail. The RC510 is an attractive laptop but in a very non in-your-face way. The lid is glossy, and liveried in a slick gun-grey colour with a dark toffee strip adjacent to the lid hinge. The Samsung brand is in embossed silver lettering – stylish, but not something that calls for attention. The rest of the outer body is smooth-finished and black. The body panels seem very well built, especially for a notebook in this price segment. While not compact, (nor would we expect a 15.6-inch notebook to be), or slim, the RC510 manages to convey the impression of having a sleeker profile thanks to some strategic contours and the overall styling.

The 15-inch Samsung RC510-S03UK laptop shows off exactly what Intel's Core i3 performance beast of a chip is capable of. It's also reasonably priced – you can currently find one for around £580.It's pretty, too, with glossy fingerprint-magnet finish and a profile which makes it look much thinner than it actually is – a trick the MacBook Air has perfected and one the RC510 pulls off well. The overall look is certainly a step up from Samsung's previous laptop range, which only sidestepped the generic tag thanks to a couple of well-placed curves.Equipped with the Nvidia Optimus GeForce 315M GPU chip and a full gigabyte of video memory, its specification certainly promises a lot. We can safely predict that the Core i3 is going to do enough to keep it competitive, but is this that rare beast: a mid-range 3D laptop powerhouse?There are several versions of the RC510 out there, but we tested the RC510-S03UK, which features the Core i3 processor. You might find it listed with a Core i5 – it certainly seems to be a widespread specification – but that seems to be an erroneous listing. Check thoroughly before buying.Intel's Core i3 has changed the way things work in the laptop market.
