    Hey guys. Was just wondering if anyone's heard of or knows where to get the recently announced Samsung R620 Specs can be found here:
    http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/...pe=rseries&model_cd=NP-R620-FS03UK&fullspec=F
    It sounds like and looks like a fairly solid laptop for mid-range gaming and a movies. It seems fairly light for its size and the battery life is alright too. However I can't really find much first hand info about this laptop, no reviews or previews. Was just wondering if anyone else here knows anything about the quality of the notebook, or even if its out yet?! Thanks.

    You should be able to learn more by downloading and studying the user manual. it should be on the Samsung download site.

    My initial reaction is that it is yet another notebook with only 768 pixels height on the display.

    16” HD WXGA (1366 x 768) is probably good only for people with bad eyes.

    That's the full HD movie resolution. However, for normal work you either need 20/20 reading vision and/or have to spend time tweaking the display settings. I would want something in between the two.
