Samsung RF510-S01 15.6-Inch HD LED Laptop (Graphite Radiant Burst)
Whenever I buy Samsung brand products, I admit I had a little doubt, before I decide to purchase them.
Though I know they have really good quality products, for instance, this laptop, Samsung RF510-S01 15.6-Inch HD LED Laptop (Graphite Radiant Burst).
Honestly, I notice that Samsung is more into replicating Apple’s stuff but they offer them with good price.
I am not sure if you see this too, but I am just telling my opinion.
If you see the iPhone from Apple, Samsung offers its Samsung Fascinate, for Apple’s iPad, Samsung has Galaxy Tab, and for Apple’s MacBook Pro 15″, Samsung has this Samsung RF510-S01 15.6-Inch HD LED Laptop (Graphite Radiant Burst). (related post: Samsung Galaxy Tab)
It seems to be their main strategies to market their products.
Together with many aspects, Samsung seems to be a successful competitors of Apple, especially in this samsung laptop review, I will discuss more about samsung and MacBook Pro specifications.
Samsung RF510-S01 Review – Samsung RF510-S01 VS MacBook Pro 15″
From the design, in comparison with MBP, this laptop is still far away from MacBook Pro’s luxury appearance, although it has nice glossy glass on the outside, and a nice purple tint. Your fingerprint wouldn’t be a problem on this laptop.
Although this laptop has 1.2-inch height, (nearly the same hight as HP laptops) which is also thin, but MacBook is still thinner.
If you are a MacBook Pro user, you can do graphic switching with Intel HD graphics video card, but this Samsung laptop does not work as nice as in MBP. Though it has the exact identical video card.
The only annoying factor from this laptop is its two hours only battery life, while you can have eight hours MacBook Pro’s battery life. If you regularly plug-in your laptop all the time, then it won’t give any problems.
Working with video and audio softwares, as well as 3D graphics, this laptop is a great companion. I compared with an Intel i7 quad core desktop, I almost could not tell the difference of the performance speed, it worked without any single hitch.
I bought this laptop and it was a good switchover from my old ones. The three second start up programs and website loading is a great feature for a i5 460 processor. I took around 5 minutes to transfer music files from a phone to this laptop using the USB. Talking about USB, this laptop has USB 3.0 that will be very helpful in the future time.

For this reasonable price, this samsung laptop is a good buy. But if you are into high quality games, working with videos and photos, and can’t deal with 2 hours battery life, I have to say, get the Samsung Q430 to get a better job instead the Samsung RF510-S01.
