Hey guys
so ive current been looking around for a laptop i would like to take to college. And i really like the X460 so far but havent actually seen/experienced it real ife. Any recommendations?
Pros & Cons?
I dont play any games so i dont need any super nerdy 1 miilion gig graphics card with some crazy performance. Just a casual ultra portable laptop.

Is this model still being available? I do like to get a hand on it for a review. Samsung notebooks in general run very quiet and perform well. My nephew has one that is still going after 4 years solid.

cheers ...

I will get the full specs tomorrow. Think about it I might make a review for it, even though it is an old model. Not sure about the battery, but it is still functioning last time I heard - a few months back.

cheers ...

So it is a Samsung R41 Malaido, came installed with Vista Home Premium and is over 3 years old (not 4 as I mentioned above). The notebook came originally with Win MCE and got upgraded to Vista for free.

Yes, the upgrade was made free by Samsung. It still runs very quiet for an "old" notebook. Does have issue when running Linux though.
