Reviews for the Samsung R65-T2300 Carrew
Source: vnunet.com Archive.org version
The Samsung R65 notebook uses the Intel Core Duo processor that is now becoming common in notebook computers. It effectively gives the computer two separate brains that can split the tasks that the computer has to perform. Because they're not completely separate - both are contained on one physical chip - the system is known as 'dual-core': the one processor has two 'cores' which do the work. The Intel T2300 processor in the Samsung R65 runs at 1.66GHz and has 1Gb of memory to complement it. The graphics card, an Nvidia GeForce Go 7400, has 256Mb of its own memory as well. Its overall performance in Windows was fairly impressive, comparing well with other notebooks that use the same processor. However, the R65 fell down somewhat when it came to gaming performance.

Comment
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400: The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 the competitor to the ATI Mobility Radeon X1400. Caution there are some versions with reduced momry bus available.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

15.10":
15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
