September 3rd, 2010

Samsung have a ‘desktop replacement’ laptop out there with a 15 inch display and Blu-Ray drive. The R540-11 laptop sports a 500GB HDD along with 1080p output in case you need to hook it up to a HDTV. Here are the full details on Samsung’s R540-11 notebook

* Rich, glossy, brushed espresso finish
* 5.6 inch widescreen 1366 x 768 LED-backlit display
* Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
* Intel Core i5-450M 2.4 GHz processor
* 4 GB memory
* 5.2 lb
* ATI Mobility Radeon 545v graphics card
* 500 GB HDD
* 802.11n connectivity
* DVD+/-RW DL with Blu-Ray
* 3 USB ports
* 1.42 x 14.9 x 10.1 inches

The R540-11 is not what you’d call compact nor portable and the description ‘desktop replacement’ fits it well. However with a price tag of $900 at Amazon, you can’t ignore its appeal.
