Cheap Samsung R530 15.6-Inch Laptop (Red)

Customer Ratings:

I did some research on laptops for good reviews and this laptop had really good reviews.

I was going to get a Dell Inspirion 15, but after doing some research, I settled on

this Samsung 530. So far, I have found nothing that I do not like about this laptop.

I love the dark red color for a change. The keypad is very easy and comfortable to use.

The wide screen is nice and the graphics etc. show up so clearly and bright. It is quite

a solid and well built computer as far as I can tell. It is lighter than my old Dell which

will help when traveling through airports, etc. Just an all around good laptop for me and

my uses and for the price I wanted to pay. The price on Amazon was the cheapest I could find.

I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

I have owned many other laptops but this one is really special. The price is great, it was delivered to me in a day, and I was online and getting things done in less than half an hour. Easy to use, great keyboard, and I love the number keypad on the side (no need to purchase anything separate if you use the number keys often). The screen size is great and the quality of the graphics is exceptional. I've only owned it a few days but I absolutely love this laptop and would recommend it to anyone!

I bought this Laptop for my wife 3 months ago. She absolutely loved it until a misterious "internal crack" appeared on the screen last week which made it unusable.

I opened a repair request with Samsung and sent the unit to the repair location specified by Samsung. I thorughly inspected the unit to see if it had any signs of damage to the case or the screen. Everything looked perfect. No damage of any kind.

After 2 days, I received a call from the repair shop telling me about the internal crack. They stated that this happens "very frequently" with Samsung Laptops and Notebooks. Even the slightest pressure on the outside cover can damage the screen. All the exercise this laptop gets is when we open and close its lid in order to use it. We don't take it on trips or even move it from its location at my wife's desk. She even kept the plastic protector that came on the outside of the laptop lid so as to avoid any scratches, etc. She could not be more gentle with this unit yet it appears that it will break with the slightest touch. This is inexcusable for a mobile computing device.

Samsung has rejected any responsibility for the poor quality of their product design so now I will have to spend over $300 to repair a $700 3-month old Laptop. This is very dissapointing and, given Samsung's indiference, it will be the last Samsung product I buy.

UPDATE A letter to the office of the president yielded no positive results. Their response: "it's not our problem". I'm going back to SONY products...

Honest reviews on Samsung R530 15.6-Inch Laptop (Red)

Okay,, the resolution for the laptop screen isn't optimal. 1,366 x 768 isn't that great considering it has a Blu Ray player on board.

Here is the thing. For me its perfect because i'm using the laptop to hookup to the 55 in LCD in 1080p. Yes the laptops HDMI and Intel Video will pump out to 1080p.

The CPU is great. I have done benchmark tests and they were all good. I ran this laptop through the ringer the first 2 hours I had it. 64bit Windows 7, 4gig of memeory, quad core processing, HDMI out, and Blu Ray player....all for 600 bux and that was with tax.

Its doing what I need it too.

Installed Boxee,, hooked up my external Raid and boom,,, off to the movies I was and even TV shows. Grabbed the Droid and used it as my remote for the PC... perfect!

Take in mind when buying such items. Make sure its going to give you what YOU need. If the 1366x768 isn't going to cut it for you because you are only going to use the Laptops screen. Look else where. That is the only fault that I can see this laptop has, but within the price range I was looking at..... this was the one that fit the bill. The gateways,, well,, I won't do Gateway,, horror story,,,,

HP's,,, well same price range but still more expensive by 200 bux to get the same specs I got in this Samsung.

Dell,,, well,, I don't do Dell either...horror story.

I'd say if you want something with power, and don't care about the on board screens resolution,, its a good price point.

It's great for the price you pay. I'd recommend it. The only downside is the weight, and it is a bit bulky, but it works great. No issues with respect to its performance so far.
