Samsung R540-11
Fast performance; Strong graphics; Comfortable keyboard; Cool operation; Good speakers...Polarizing faux-wood desgin; Short battery life; Small touchpad and buttons...That's not bad when you consider that the average notebook this size reaches temperatures of 90, 93, and 97 degrees in the same spots...The 15.6-inch display has a resolution of 1366 x 768, which is standard for an inexpensive notebook...
