Reviews for the Samsung R440

Samsung R440 Review: Sturdy but lacking for its price
Source: Notebooks.com Archive.org version
Overall a sturdy notebook with OK specs, but users will be better off spending an extra $70 to bump up to the Samsung R480 which has a Blu-Ray drive and a better keyboard. If you can find this notebook on sale for under $600, you could score a good deal as long as you can overlook the traditional keyboard and heat when running for long periods.
