Is it too much to expect your mobile computer’s appearance to reflect its performance? Samsung doesn’t think so. That’s why the Samsung R480 boasts a high-end design that parallels its high performance features like the 16:9 HD LED display that delivers sharp images and bold colors. Highlighted by its New Touch of Color finish, an appealing crystal-S pattern, and a durable casing engineered to reduce the risk of scratches and fingerprints, the Samsung R480 makes sure your on-the-go lifestyle stays stylish. And with touchpad lighting and a low profile keyboard, using it is as enjoyable as it is productive.

The low profile island keyboard makes for a seamless look and effortless typing experience. while the haptic-enhanced LED touch pad lights up its look and responds to your every touch. Samsung's new Touch of Color stylishly ensures you never blend into the crowd.
Crafted for style and safety
"Because a life on the go can often trip you up, the Samsung R480 was crafted to not let you down. In fact, its high quality craftsman-ship extends as much to its exterior as to its high performance inner workings. Built to withstand bumps and knocks, the R480 comes with a robust, durable casing designed to keep its contents safe and sound as well as reduce the risk of scratches and fingerprints. And its ergonomic, stylish design makes it as coolly eye-catching as it is reliable. "
Enhance your entertainment with great graphics
"The R480 lets you play harder, play faster, play better. And it makes any and every movie instantly more gripping.

The R480's 16:9 aspect ratio immerses you in games and movies with an accurate representation - so you don't have annoying black bands crowding your picture. You'll watch movies the way they were meant to be seen. And see images that are fine-tuned with the sharpest details and boldest colors on a 14" HD LED display. An added bonus? It uses less power, so you can be entertained longer. Get more out of your on-the-go entertainment and enjoy a bigger, better picture.

Overall a great laptop, great for gaming, and everyday use. Have had almost now problems with it,and I am very impressed with the performance. One thing to note, if you are transferring your music collection over from windows Vista or XP, to the laptops windows 7 you may have a problem with ID-tag's.

This is a great laptop. I looked around and couldn't find a better one in this price range and weight category. After owning this laptop for about a month I am still very happy with it and would suggest it to anyone who wants a light laptop that can still provide the power to play some recent games.

It's alirght laptop but useless for my needs, cause require windows xp for work related stuff, and this has only drivers for apparently win 7 64 bit only or 32 bit, for XP 64 bit it can be used as paper weight instead.
Overall, a great laptop. The keyboard is nice to type on, despite the funny location of some of the buttons. The screen is nice and bright with decent colours. The screen is a bit reflective but not bad. I found I had to manually adjust the colours from stock though. I would prefer a 16:10 screen vs. a 16:9 which is featured in this model. There are also a few nice features in this such as eSata and usb charging while turned off. The machine runs quite quiet and doesn't prodcue to much heat. Although I haven't played any games on it yet. The i5 is nice and snappy though.
Nice compact sleek unit. Plays games with punch! It has good cooling, throttling the cpu up and down is a breeze like my last Asus F3sv. Icore i5 is tonnes of speed for what I'm using it for. DVD's look great using Powerdvd 9.Screen is high quality. Perfect size for my trip to Asia next month. I'll be loading up a ton of games for the flights. Nice job Samsung.
