Question by : Is the Samsung R580, core i3 laptop good for watching hd movies and burning dvds?
I have a budget of £500-£550 and I’m looking for a fast,and reliable laptop for watching HD movies and burning DVDs along with general web browsing. I have been a fan of samsung laptops for a while and I’m keen to get one. However, if anyone can tell me if there are any other standout laptops for that price that are significantly better then I’m all ears! Any information and advice is much appreciated. Thanks

Trying to Explain why”s and whatnot’s
The i3 is no faster than the multi core processors The performance may be a little faster for a while, then on Que it will start to slow down in a couple of months, You could have the top notch system using the new Intel i7 processor and 8 gig of DDR3 ram and the same will happen. People have been on here already asking question stating that they have bought the new Intel i3 i5 i7 systems and they are having problems with them, The problem is not with the hardware the problem is windows OS period,
For example how long as the multi core processor been out? Have you ever seem a window 7 multi core operating system “No” Have you seen a windows drivers for the new DD3 memory or the new USB 3 hardware “No” that shows you how far behind MS OS is when it comes to new technology,
If you want a Free operating system with Free 64 bit application software that has all of the above then look no farther than Linux Intel support and contribute to Linux Operating System the drivers for the new i3, i5, i7 processors and DDR3 memory are in the Linux operating system kernel
If you want an upto date operating system (October 2010) then check Linux out, here
