Samsung has impressed us over the past year, releasing a string of high-quality, yet affordable, consumer laptops. New to the range is the RF510, a powerful, usable and well-specified media centre that's easy to recommend. Built using a combination of glossy black plastic, silver faux-metallic flourishes and brushed gunmetal, the chassis has just as much style as the Acer Aspire 5943G. The panels feel firmly fixed and resilient to wear and tear, although the glossy lid is slightly prone to scratches. With its 15.6-inch screen and 2.6kg chassis, this laptop is really more suited to the home than a life on the road. This is highlighted by the 198-minute battery life. Nevertheless, this machine excels when used at home. The spacious, isolated-style keyboard responds firmly and accurately, and is ideal for working for long periods of time. The huge 89 x 53mm touchpad is equally usable, providing a vast canvas on which to navigate on-screen. The stunning 15.6-inch screen adds greatly to usability, offering striking brightness, colour and contrast. Whether viewing movies and photos, browsing the internet or working with office applications, images are consistently vibrant.
Now that 15-inch notebooks are the new family PCs, you'll want a hub that can do it all: web surfing, word processing, streaming movies, photo and video editing, and, yes, even gaming. The Samsung RF510 ($729 on Amazon) answers the call for versatility by combining a Core i5 processor with discrete Nvidia graphics, stylish looks, and a responsive keyboard. But is this 5.6-pound system really good enough to play demanding games or full HD videos?At 14.9 x 10.1 X 1.5 inches and 5.6 pounds, the RF510 is too bulky to carry around all day, but is light enough to move from the living room to the bedroom and then the kids' room in a flash. It's also noticeably lighter than the Dell XPS 15 (6.1 pounds, 15 x 10.4 x 1.5 inches).Though sized like a family PC, the Samsung RF510 has a sleek, black aesthetic that looks equally at home in the living room and conference room. The glossy black lid, which resists most fingerprints, is emblazoned with a chrome Samsung logo and accented by chrome hinges and chrome lines on the left and right sides. Though we like the ivory design and curved shape of the less expensive Samsung SF510, the RF510's sleek aethetic looks more professional.Once opened, the notebook's design appears even classier.
