It is no doubt that R260 is a fantastic inclusion to the R series range of laptops from Samsung. The laptop also holds the pride of being the lightest one in its cadre and also provides the best high-definition multimedia experience says Philip Brown, GM of Samsung Computer Systems Division.

It is said to be a ‘follow up on the S101’, yet it is not a thinner laptop comparing to MacBook Air. The price tag it will be wearing is considered to be lower than Apple’s next slim model, yet to be launched. This laptop has got the conventional looks of the netbook but with a changed outlook.

The body is however giving graceful and elegant looks with its pearl shine plastic body designed in soft curves, is called “pearlescent” by Asus. It’s a bit shinier than the previous average Eee PCs.

A multi touch track pad is known to embed in the laptop. The Eee PC 1008HA is only 1-inch thick and weighs just about 2.4 pounds. It is integrated with Wi-Fi, 802.11n Bluetooth, 1.3 megapixel webcam, and 3G. There WiMAX options can be found, and packing, with Eee Sharing and Eee Arena software in it which will allow users to synchronize with the rest of the Eee machines available in the market.

While complete specs are in a hide till now, it’s been speculated that the laptop will provide the user to enjoy a large storage area, will have Intel Atom processor and Windows as its operating system.

It is obvious that this new item will have something different in it to make it a hot market item.

It comes in navy blue, white, black and red colors though the other physical features like rounded edges are like before. Comparatively its size is thinner than the 10 inch Eee Pc 1000HE. Due to its six cell 5,800 mAh; milliamp battery, the weight falls slightly to the heavier side, which is hunched to the back. Apart from weight, it has a positive aspect of working for continuous 7 hours and 57 minutes.

A few of the initially shipped systems will be stacked with this battery, which gives 49 more minutes than 1000HE and 38 minutes superiority than Mini 2140 by HP. Most of the systems, however, will be specified with 4,400 mAh batteries which will provide a 6 hours run time, as claimed by Acer.

The 4,400 mAh batteries will take 5 hours on each full charging. As far as the price is concerned, it will be available in $350, which is a bit higher if we compare it to its keyboard and touchpad impression.

The compact Aspire series are considered as market leading netbooks. It is considered that with this laptop, Acer will continue to lead the market as before. No doubt, the Acer 10.1- inch Aspire One AOD150 is a delight to see and have.

Though not as slim as we like, quite compact and can be easily carried in small luggage with its 2kg chassis that is ideal for travel. We can easily keep working the whole day long with its 314-minute battery life. But one thing is worth mentioning and that’s about large battery that sticks out 20mm behind the chassis.

All can be said about build quality, is that it’s excellent. But the glossy lid easily gets tarnish and while traveling, it would be better to keep it in a suitable case.

So far keyboard is concerned, it makes typing quite comfortable and accurate with its large keys and smooth action.

It has a 13.3-inch screen that is, no doubt, really bright and sharp. But 3D performance through built-in Intel graphics is low; however, it’s quite powerful for basic gaming and photo editing.

So far performance in concerned, it is impressive indeed. It has a Core Duo processor that is from Intel’s new range and has the ability to run high-powered applications and several tasks without any obvious drop in pace.

It provides high general performance in a small chassis but still it remains cool almost all the time as the cooling is never off-putting that allows you to work peacefully. There is brushed aluminum around the keyboard that feels quite cool to the touch.

250 GB hard disk provides considerable storage for such a small machine. You can also back up data to CD and DVD with its dual-layer DVD rewriter and you can also burn your own labels to compatible discs with its LightScribe technology.

A mixed bag: that’s what we can say about connectivity .You can connect to wireless networks at the quickest possible pace with its 802.11n Wi-Fi. However, only an analogue VGA output has been provided to connect external display.

A thing that you must keep in mind form budget point of view is that no office software has been included in it but it has propriety system maintenance applications from Samsung and a good collection of DVD playback and creation tools.

For the regular traveler, the Samsung Q70 is a nice ultra-portable machine with its sheer power and mobility and its affordable price makes it more appealing and really adds to the value.

Though there is software disappointment and limited connectivity, Q70 is still highly recommended.
