    That looks pretty good. I bought an Acer Aspire recently...not as good as the one you might buy, but it's pretty damn useful.
    Btw, how much would your laptop cost?

    Thanks for the advice only problem with the acer i would have to buy is an external disk drive as there is not inbuilt one but it is the one i am leaning towards.

    You should get the Acer. My sister uses one and it's pretty good. And I think they're based on computers and stuff while Samsung also focuses on others so, Acer.

    Go for the Samsung. DDR3 rather than DDR2, more disk space, probably a better battery life, dual layer disk drive, and a much larger screen. It's a lot more practical for day-to-day usage. Neither will give you good gaming performance.

    Don't judge a book by its cover; don't judge a product by its brand.

    I would go with the Samsung R530
    the reasoning I have is that I strongly prefer Intel Products over AMD.
    I've had nothing but problems with AMD processors.

    Advice about which laptop to buy

    HP burns ur legs if u put ur laptop on your lap... none the less the new envys look nice...

    Dell is crap because to get a decent dell u have to pay monthly with them and order by phone or website... might aswell get a Hp..

    Acer Aspire lign up is looking pretty decent 5 hr battery life... intel i5.. ATI 5470 512MG GDDR3... 4 Gig Ram and 650GB HDD so i idk...


    Trust me bro brand names dont make a difference its wat inside that counts..
