Samsung’s R780 has clearly been designed to get noticed. The glossy, deep-red chassis and slightly nauseating swirly line motif won’t appeal to those who like their laptops to be subtle, but it does make it stand out from the crowd. Personally speaking...
With decent processing power, the ability to let you indulge in a bit of gaming and a solid design, the R780 is great value at £799. However, Samsung’s curious decision to go with a 32-bit operating system and the laptop’s woefully short battery life...

At just under 3kg and a chunky 41 x 27 x 3.2cm, the Samsung R780 JSIBUK laptop is a back breaker that you could only possibly carry in an over-sized manbag. It comes with Samsung's red and black thumb-print swirl pattern and, if you don't like red, mov...
