  • Nice Finish - Unique Looks, Great Value, Tons of Features, Great All-Around Laptop
  • Nothing Major
  • The Samsung R580 notebook is the first full notebook from Samsung that I've had the chance to review and overall I must say I'm pretty happy overall with what it had to offer. This notebook can be found online for ~$899 CAD which put it up against a ton o...

  • Fast performance, well built, USB sleep-and-charge, stylish, dedicated number pad
  • Too glossy, collects fingerprints, no keyboard backlight, relatively low screen resolution
  • Samsung's R580 is a great desktop replacement notebook. It's fast, looks good, is well built and has a good array of ports. You can use it to perform mundane office tasks or taxing file encoding tasks alike. We wish it wasn't such a glossy machine though...

  • Good looks and plentiful features make this a good-value and impressive machine
  • The keyboard and sound are decidedly average, with the display not wowing us either
