Reviews for the Samsung Q30 Plus

80% An ultraportable notebook that's got style, but not for those after performance
Source: vnunet.com Archive.org version
Samsung's updated version of the Q30, internally badged the Q30+, but still available on its website as the Q30 Red, adds extra processing power and the 915GM chipset to this super-slim, ultra light notebook. It is aimed at people who don't want to carry around a heavy machine, but want enough power for office tasks and decent battery life. To gauge its performance and portability, we've been road-testing the notebook for several months, including two international trips.

Mainly, bigger-sized tablets and convertibles weigh as much.
