    Which Samsung R60 models have a built-in webcam? I have one on my Q45 and I want to have one on my wife's new laptop.

    I don't think the R60 has a web cam.

    Can you afford the new R510 (which is the R60 successor)? It does have a web cam and impressive battery life.

    Yeah I just saw this model on the Samsung homepage. The price isn't bad compared to the R60 (at least here in Germany). Not sure if my wife needs to HDMI connector but oh well.... ;-)

    No contest, in my opinion. The R560 is faster, better GPU, more power efficient (so will be cooler and quieter in normal use).

    No, I am looking at the R510 NOT the R560. The R560 is 200 EUR more than the R510. And for my wife that really isn't money well spent (don't tell her that *hehe*).
