Samsung P200 Laptop Reviews

May.21, 2008 in Samsung

Samsung’s new laptop may look very similar to an existing model, the Q45, but appearances can be deceptive. Its transformation into the P200 has brought with it some significant changes.The first of these is obvious from the moment you clap eyes on the P200. Samsung has, shock horror, abandoned the glossy lid of its Aura-range of laptops, such as the Q45 and Q70.The Samsung P200 is an impressive notebook. It’s well-built and the keyboard comfortable to use. For the price, the battery life and specification are more than impressive. So, if you’re on a tight budget and in the need of a small and compact notebook, this is a great choice.Strengths

The P200 fits neatly into the thin-and-light category as its small dimensions mean you can hide it under a single A4 sheet of paper. Although it’s small in stature, it punches above its weight when it comes to performance. The combination of the 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 and 2GB of RAM helped it post a score of 4,232 in PCMark 2005, which puts it near the top of the thin-and-light stack. You also get a decent amount of storage, thanks to the 200GB hard drive. The battery life isn’t bad either: it managed to keep running for 2 hours 44 minutes before finally conking out.
