Reviews for the Samsung M70-2130 Bemus

67% Samsung M70
Source: PC Pro English
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.

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: » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

19.0": This format for notebook displays exists since 2006 for giant desktop replacement laptops and is rarely used. There still exist a few 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: The Samsung Group is composed of numerous international businesses, all united under the Samsung brand in South Korea. The meaning of the Korean word Samsung is "tristar" or "three stars". The Samsung brand is one of the most important brands of South Korea. Samsung is an international notebook manufacturer of medium size according market shares and reviews.

Samsung reviews
