Reviews for the Samsung P500-Pro T7250

70% Samsung P500

The Samsung P500 is a good quality laptop, but while on paper it is very much in keeping with other budget laptops, when it came to daily use, it failed to shine. That said, the screen and keyboard are usable and the build quality is more than acceptable for the price.

The Samsung P500 is a well-built machine that offers decent if not outstanding value for money. The build quality is mixed, with a solid design but the keyboard does tend to let the overall effect down. However, it's not the most powerful and the rather basic specification means that you won't be able to do as many things as you'd possibly like. We'd suggest raising your budget and opting for a faster machine.

Comment

ATI Radeon Xpress 1250:

Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.

15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks.  15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays.
The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much current and the laptops can be kept quite compact.
>> To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

2.7 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for 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

69%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.
