Samsung NP-X60 Test
Source: Notebookreview
Das X60 sollte auf der Prüfliste für jeden stehen, der nach einem leichtgewichtigen 15.4 Zoll Widescreen Computer sucht. Die Verarbeitung scheint nicht durch das niedrige Gewicht beeinträchtigt zu sein. Das getestete Modell verfügt über die langsamste der Core Duo CPUs und einen Grafik Prozessor von mittlerem Niveau. Die Gesamtleistung ist aber durchaus besser als die der früheren Notebook-Generation. Obwohl die Festplatte nominell 100 GB bietet, blieben nur 86 GB übrig, nachdem formattiert und AVStation Now Software instaliert wurde. [übersetzt]

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an onboard integrated video chip and can be called a faster clocked GMA 900 (on Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset, which is available only starting with Core Duo/Solo). 2006 it is the most often used graphics solution and is classified in the weakest third of mobile graphics solutions. So it can only be used for elder games. For office applications and surfing it is without any doubt sufficient.

Intel Core Duo: Intel Core Duo (successor of Pentium M), is a double core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used common. The maximum current consumption of 31 Watts is only 4 W more then with Pentium M. Due to the low energy need is Core Duo also suited for subnotebooks. Further now it supports SSE3 orders. The performance can nearly be doubled for applications, which were designed for multiprocessors (compared with Pentium M).

T2300: The weak type T2300 is apt for office applications and for surfing.

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.

2.5 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: 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.
