can i ask something , do you know how to change the background of samsung R440?
55k for the Core i5 + Geforce GT 330M build? Yeah, it’s expensive… but worth it especially if you’re comparing it with other premium hardware like Apple.
At 13-inch white macbook prices you get something similar to 15-inch macbook pro internals.
and Samsung is brand! like the Sony line.. You don’t pay for the specs but you pay for the brand!
The price is really close enough with the US one.. Dell, well, I won’t say Anything..
The prices are quite good cmopared to acer and Asus.. remember that the GT 330 is a little faster than ATI 5470 that ACer and Asus has for a lower price..
been waiting for this!!

I’m aware of Samsung’s announcement of the debut of these notebooks. The Samsung R440 has nice specs but its pricetag of Php 39,990 is a bit expensive for me. I would rather buy Dell, Asus or Acer notebook with the same specs.
nice… I wonder when will they release (if ever) the Samsung R580? (i5 procy and Bluray Drive)
