The Fast & Handy Samsung R522 Laptop – Review
Looking for a work-centric budget laptop from a well-known manufacturer ? Machines from Samsung’s R-series typically fit the bill, including the recently released 15.6-inch R522. Overall build quality is quite impressive. High-gloss outer lid. The display sports a 16:9 aspect ratio with a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. Brightness is good and Large square keys with raised centers ensure that typing is a comfortable experience on its Spill resistant & Anti bacterial Keyboard.
This budget portable is intended for office functions. As such, it comes with an integrated graphics card, paired with a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo T6400 and 4GB of RAM. It’s backed by a generous amount of RAM and I found it a great machine during daily use and in most part it runs smoothly and without trouble.

My Personal Opinion : The Samsung R522 is a capable laptop. Styling is neat, performance is capable, features are average – in no way is it a bad laptop. I liked the the design of the Laptop its glossy rich features and also the fact that it has a Spill resistant & Anti bacterial Keyboard. This will be a great help for me. But the rocking feature is its 5 hour long battery Lasting, which means enough to watch the latest movie full on a picnic or so. Among some of Samsung’s best offerings, it’s definately a cool one.

Debajyoti Das : @ Dinesh - R522 has some extra unique features like the Spill resistant & Anti bacterial Keyboard. Also the 5 Hour Long battery life
group : eh.. informative
outdoor pee voyeur : well.. it's like I thought!
Peterpan : I own that Laptop quite a while now. Its great if you leave it into an office surounding. If you play games it simply overheats and shuts off. So I payed a premium of 200 Euro for a better graphics card, but cant really utilize it since the bad thermal design. I am not going to buy anything from Samsung in the future. They have comparable issues in the TV sector.
Patrick : I'm not so sure about the antibacterial keyboard. Sounds pretty much like snake oil to me. Usually, the only bacteria, you get on your keyboard are the ones, already living on you and usually you get along fine with these.
