Review: Samsung R40 Laptop – Notebook Review
Elvin Tsang writing over at Notebook Review has posted a review of the Samsung R40 laptop PC. ‘The Samsung R40 is made entirely of plastic, and feels quite sturdy. The color scheme is black and silver, with the lower part of the chassis and the back of the lid silver, and the underside and area surrounding the screen black. Personally I find the design quite pleasing and elegant looking. There is also hardly any wobble in the lid, with the hinges feeling very solid. I can lift the laptop by one of the bottom corners with little if any flex in the body, although of course I wouldn't do this on a daily basis.
However, there is noticeable flex and twisting in the lid, and ripples appear at the sides of the screen and some at the top when the back of the lid is pressed, albeit quite hard. In everyday use though I don't think this would cause any major concerns. Considering this is a budget laptop, I did not expect superior build quality such as what you would find in a Thinkpad, and neither should you.
