    They have such lovely laptops and most of them are incredibly light! and it seems their specs are quite nice but they r quite expensive coz apparently they still one of the only few companies that maunfacture their computer products in korea rather than toshiba going 2 china and stuff....

    Do you guys have an opinion on them?

    You can view their laptops at http://www.samsung.com/au/products/notebookpcs/index.asp

    Cheers :)

    Samsungs are nice... but they always comes with very small battery, resulting in low battery life

    Design wise and quality wise, they are pretty good, and they pack alot of stuff into a laptop, not to mention it ends up pretty light.

    I would describe the X60's battery as medium-sized. I can get 3 hours of light usage with display at 3/8 brightness. There is a high capacity option, but it sticks out at the back.

    For general, most Samsung notebooks are really nice.
    But I don't think they have very small batteries ...
