Samsung R780 HD lifestyle laptop

March 6th, 2010

Samsung have a stylish laptop out there, namely the R780 which according to the marketing blurb allows you to

switch between work and play with ridiculous ease

which is an intriguing way of saying the R780 laptop is multi-functional. The unit does house 1GB of dedicated NVidia graphics memory whilst other operations are powered by an Intel i5 processor so the R780 certainly doesn’t lack all-round grunt. Here are the rest of the details on the Samsung R780

That’s a pretty impressive set of specs and the Samsung R780 has a great price tag to match at $930. We also like the stylish red option for the R780, so for once you do actually have looks combined with performance. But wait, there’s an even better deal out there. Over at Best Buy you can pick up one of these suckers for only $800, unfortunately right now they’ve sold out but it’ll be worth checking back.

So yeah, we do like the Samsung R780 ‘HD Lifestyle’ laptop and we reckon it probably does what it says on the box and allow you to switch effortlessly between work and play. But of course with all that ~~gaming~~ processor power who wants to use it for work!
