Samsung's Q35 reviewed

by Ryan Block, posted Jun 13th 2006 at 7:45AM

What can you say about a Samsung laptop (hot) that's already supposedly the smallest Core Duo machine in the world (very hot)? Well, not a lot else except that you really like it, in TrustedReviews' case; the gave Samsung's Q35 an average 9/10, finding notable "improvements" over its predecessor the Q30, like an integrated DVD burner and PC card slot (so sue us, we like our ultraportables to have external drives and maybe an ExpressCard slot, where possible). And that's not even to mention the nice widescreen display, a 5-in-1 media reader, solid keyboard, and a semi-reasonable £993 ($1,830 US) price tag that TR thinks makes this thing "impossible not to recommend."

That sure is a pretty nice looking laptop. I'm considering a new MacBook or MBP, but this one is sounding pretty good even if it does run Windows. :P

This does seem like quite a decent little machine. The price really does make it seem quite excellent, though Dabs does list it as being 1.66GHz and not the 1.8GHz as the review said it would be upgraded to. In terms of value for money, it does beat the Sony TX range, but I do not think it can beet the MacBook which is a little bigger, for a little less.

What is that hump near the bottom right? Is it not smooth on the bottom?
