Reviews for the Samsung M70-2130 Bemus

67% Samsung M70
Source: PC Pro
Depending on how you look at it, the M70 could either be a huge advance in the world of notebook design, or an enormous waste of time. For meetings, it's a traditional laptop. But once you're back at your desk, detach the 19in widescreen from the main unit, slide it into the docking station, and you've got a fully functioning desktop PC. It's a fiddly process, made worse by the sheer bulk of the screen and chassis, but once you've done it a few times, it's fairly quick. Of slightly more concern is the pair of plastic spacers that clip on to the back of the base, one of which doubles as the antenna for the wireless card. Although they can be housed in the LCD cradle when not in use, it could be easy to lose them when you're in a hurry.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 is the mobile medium class of the GeForce Go 6000 series for notebooks. Its performance is good with normal current consumption (in 2006). Older games like Doom3 run fluently.

Lower end of Graphics Cards for users who want to play games. New games should run on these cards, but only with decreased details and mediocre resolution.

Intel Pentium M: With Intel chip set (855 or 915) and Intel WLAN also available with the name Centrino (name for the package).
In the comparison very fast per megahertz and very modest with weaknesses in floating point operations.
It is also available as a low voltage version with very small current consumption.

770:

19.0": This format for notebook displays exists since 2006 for giant desktop replacement laptops and yet is rarely used. There still exist bigger laptop displays with 20 inch screen.
The DTR-Laptops can't be carried easily, need much current, but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.
>> To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

4.4 kg: This laptop is heavy below average, compared with the average of notebooks. Therefore especially desktop replacements fit in this class of weight.

Samsung: Samsung is an international notebook manufacturer of medium size according market shares and reviews. Up tp now, Samsung notebooks achieved excellent total ratings of German and English magazines. Also the ratings of price and performance are respectable.

Samsung reviews

80%: This rating is not convincing. It must be considered, that there exist hardly any laptops, which receive a rating below 60%. This notebook is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
