Samsung X11 review

Verdict

A notebook that's good looking, quick and enjoyable to use, But consider buying the long-life battery

Review Date: 18 May 2006

Reviewed By: Dave Stevenson

Price when reviewed: (£1,116 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
5 stars out of 6

PCPRO Recommended

We like this notebook, but business users should beware of a few things. The glossy screen will be a distraction in most offices, and the one-year return-to-base warranty means that if your X11 breaks you could face weeks with no PC. The extra-large hard disk and discrete graphics chip are also of dubious worth if all you'll ask of your laptop are spreadsheet duties.

However, the X11 is an excellent machine for almost everyone else we can think of. The combination of good ergonomics and performance is a definite plus, as are its small dimensions and light weight. Add in the multimedia features and this is an ideal laptop for those looking for a portable yet versatile laptop.
