Samsung’s new RF, QX and NF notebook line-ups

Samsung has started the day with their new notebook family announcement. To give it a short review I’d say five out of six new Samsung notebooks are perfectly faceted for studying needs which means they are not too big, not too small, not too posh and not too humble. The sixth one however is a netbook and doesn’t share key features its bigger brothers have: Intel Core i-series processors and NVIDIA Optimus graphics technology. Samsung has done a great job keeping most of that goodness under a thousand dollars and only top models are barely exceeding this level. Continued with exact MSRPs and full specs.
