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?

 

[Mattster118]

Which one you think and the First is £400 and the Second is £450

 

[ilikepie1]

Get the Acer. I ain't neva seen no Samsung laptop before.
You might want to bold the laptop titles; I had a lot of trouble reading it.

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.

i heard acers have problems down the road, they don't opperate as well a few years in. if you want a long lasting laptop you might consider a dell or an hp ^_^

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.

And I think they're based on computers and stuff while Samsung also focuses on others so, Acer.

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.

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..
