Samsung wasn’t such a massive force in the laptop market until until a few years back, when it’s impressive range of netbooks brought the company some well-earned credibility. The company is now producing more and more machines, including everythi...

For those who'd rather enjoy a big screen and plenty of features than carry a laptop around all day, Samsung's spacious R780 ticks all the boxes. It's been a popular choice with us since we first saw it around six months ago, with its slick Touch of Co...

Samsung’s R780 has clearly been designed to get noticed. The glossy, deep-red chassis and slightly nauseating swirly line motif won’t appeal to those who like their laptops to be subtle, but it does make it stand out from the crowd. Personally speaking...
With decent processing power, the ability to let you indulge in a bit of gaming and a solid design, the R780 is great value at £799. However, Samsung’s curious decision to go with a 32-bit operating system and the laptop’s woefully short battery life...

This laptop is the bigger brother to the Samsung R580 that we reviewed a couple of weeks back. Its snazzy semi-transparent deep red casing caught the eye, and that's duplicated here. Samsung has also neatly mirrored the default wallpaper on the displa...

At just under 3kg and a chunky 41 x 27 x 3.2cm, the Samsung R780 JSIBUK laptop is a back breaker that you could only possibly carry in an over-sized manbag. It comes with Samsung's red and black thumb-print swirl pattern and, if you don't like red, mov...

Disappointing screen; very poor battery life...
Samsung's R780 is a budget desktop replacement laptop that offers good performance and is solidly engineered. The NP-R780-JSIBUK version we reviewed offers good value for money. It's bundled with excellent specifications, but battery life is criminall...

Last time we saw the 17.3in Samsung R780 we absolutely loved it. This time around we're looking at the more expensive model (part code: NP-R780-JS0BUK). From the outside it looks identical to its predecessor and we love its shiny red and black finish...

The screen The little world of portable computers is dominated by glossy panels and the R780 is no exception to the rule. It therefore has its lot of inevitable reflections. The TN technology used is easily recongnisable by the reduced angles of verti...

Samsung's R780 is a 17.3in widescreen laptop that's been designed to replace a standard desktop PC, providing power in both standard Windows applications and games. We're happy to report that it pulls it off. Performance from the 2.13GHz Core i3-330M p...
An attractive design, solidly-built case, large bright screen and great all-round performance justify every penny of the R780's price, and it's a deserving award winner...
