Reviews for the Samsung ZX310

Samsung ZX310 review: Hands on
Source: T3 English Archive.org version
Samsung’s includes some impressive performance features on the SX310, which unfortunately we weren’t able to put to the test: including a 12-second Fast Start, three-second start from sleep and battery designed to last three times longer. Choose from 128 and 256GB SSD drives, improving start-up speeds by 60%. There’s no news yet on pricing and availability for the SX310, but from our brief time with the laptop, it’s certainly one of the most stylish laptops we’ve seen. Let’s hope it has the performance to match.

However, in our initial play, the Samsung ZX310 didn't quite seem to have the overall premium quality we might hope for and certainly no where near enough to justify its whopping MSRP of £1,399.

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.
