Samsung RV511 Review: Great Features on a $500 Notebook
Source: Notebooks.com Archive.org version
The Samsung RV511 is what we would call a sleeper. At first glance, the system doesn’t look like it can live up to the price tag now that newer 2nd Generation systems area available, but once you go under the hood and find all the extras, the long battery life and the good overall specs and build and you have a notebook that will meet the needs of many home and student users.

If you're looking for a wider swath of features and more original design, you'll find them both in our budget laptop Editors' Choice, the HP Pavilion dv6-6013cl—but you'll also need to drop another $50 to get them. The Samsung RV511-A01 may not possess its keener sense of style, but if you're the type to appreciate its full-capacity keyboard and fine performance for the price, parting with another portrait of Ulysses S. Grant may not be necessary.

All in all, the $549 Samsung RV511-A01 offers a great blend of features, style, and performance for its low price. The laptop has plenty of multitasking power and has enough staying power to work and play for nearly 5 hours on a charge. We also like the spacious keyboard and responsive touchpad, and WiDi is a nice bonus. While we wish it ran a little cooler on the bottom, those looking for an attractive yet affordable notebook for home use will really enjoy the RV511.
