Product Description
Samsung Q430 - Core i3 350M / 2.26 GHz - RAM 3 GB - HDD 320 GB - DVD±RW (±R DL)
Can you confirm the graphics card?
The Samsung web site says that the Q430 has an nVIDIA 330M graphics card and not a 310M. Can you confirm as this is quite different? Also the Q330 has the 310M card and an intel HD graphics card and can automatically switch between each depending the needs of the system at the time? I want to buy a Q430 but do not want to find out I was wrong after purchasing?

Review 1 : Average laptop
OK laptop, nice and slim. But the screen has mediocre viewing angles. Infact the viewing angles are no better than a dell laptop i bought over 5 years ago.Hasn't screen technology improved since then?? And it emits a whining sound, not very audible but you can hear it in a quiet room. But i do like the sharpness due to a smaller screen size 14" which has the same resolution of larger 15"6 screens.
Like the keyboard and can't feel any heat coming through from underneath. The chasis fan is quiet, with it sucking in air from the sides rather than underneath. And the battery length is good for a few hours surfing and work. Don't know how good the graphics are since i don't play any games on it.
Note: Was not supplied with a Windows 7 64bit CD, only a backup image.
Review 2 : Samsungs are great
I've got a slightly different spec Q430 than the one advertised here. But I've owned two Samsungs now and they are great laptops. My wife's Compaq laptop is so noisy and full of bloatware, but this is whisper quiet and has some great in built software.
I haven't tested it to its full potential but it runs everything I need (web, documents, minor video editing, music) without a problem.
