Samsung QX411 – Review
Source: Gadgetmix Archive.org version
One area where the Samsung QX411 shines is battery life – it offers a full 6 hours of moderate use, although Samsung has decided to make the battery non-removeable, which certainly makes extending the standard 12-month battery-and-all warranty advisable. It isn’t without its faults, and the webcam is a bit of a joke, but the Samsung QX411 is one of the best-priced notebooks around.

Roughly a year ago, I reviewed the Samsung QX410-J01, a new and exciting laptop by a relative outsider. For a full set of features in a Core i5 laptop in the $600 range, it's extremely hard to beat the Samsung QX411-W01UB, which stands out for its great keyboard and impressive extras.

The Samsung QX411-W01 is a beautifully constructed mainstream laptop. This revision sheds the Nvidia graphics system in order to lower its price by $200, but supplements it with a speedier Core i5 processor. The clicking touchpad can be maddening to use at times, although this isn't news to the QX series. It's a solid system and priced accordingly, but the Dell Inspiron 14z (Core i5) uses similar parts and comes with a better clickpad experience and a backlit keyboard.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Samsung is also a major player in the semiconductor industry, making memory chips and processors for many other electronics manufacturers.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
