Verdict

Overall Samsung’s updated HSDPA Q45 (H001) is a great little machine, which despite its dated chassis and other flaws is packed with features and some decent specifications. But at over £900, it simply costs too much compared to the competition or even other Q45 models, which offer good value for money.

This is Samsung’s upcoming Eclipse R710 notebook PC, that is a desktop replacement.

Equipped with a Core 2 Duo P9500 2.53GHz CPU, DDR3 memory and a nVIDIA GeForce 9300/9600 graphic card, the R710 has a 17-inch SuperBright LCD display, an optional Blu-ray drive, 7-in-1 multi card reader and support for WiFi and Bluetooth. You can also expect a full size keyboard with the number pad.
