Reviews for the Samsung RF510-S01US
Source: PC Mag
If the Samsung RF510-S01US had two things to put on an advertising banner, it would be its speedy processor and powerful Nvidia graphics chip. It can take on most tasks with a smug yawn, yet leave enough room in your budget for another gadget. Its looks and battery scores aren't worth writing home about, although neither of which will matter if the laptop is tethered to an outlet and stays in one location most of the time, as most desktop replacements do. If you're looking for a better looking laptop, with better battery options, the Dell XPS 15 and HP dv7-4283cl are better picks.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M: The Nvidia GeForce GT 330M is the successor of the GT 230M and technically just a slightly higher clocked GT 240M (but it should still maintain the power envelope of the GT 230M as the naming suggests).
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

460M: The Core i5-460M has only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-620M) and clocks between 2.53-2.8 GHz (Turbo Mode). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.6": 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. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. 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 energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.5 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: 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.
70%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.
