Compare Prices : Samsung Q70 - Expert Reviews

Review summary: We recently ran the rule over a close relation of the Q70, the Q45. To a large extent, the problems we had with the Q45 - slightly gutless looks, and a processor which, at 1.8GHz, was not powerful enough to deliver the holy grail of mobile high-end ...

Pros: Powerful, Comfortable to use

Cons: Limited battery life

Verdict: A good all-round performer, but one that lacks identity somewhat because of its attempts to be all things to all men

Review summary: The 13.3? Samsung Q70 is a new model to fill a gap in the Samsung product range. It is too large to be called an ultra-portable and, while it is reasonably light, it is not very thin. It is slightly larger than the popular Q35 and its successor, the ...

Review summary: The Q70 one may not be the thinnest or lightest ultra-portable laptop Samsung has produced, but it uses the latest Intel Centrino technology, codenamed Santa Rosa, and is fully Vista-capable

Pros: Impressive glossy screen ; decent range of features

Cons: Dull styling ; rather heavy

Verdict: The Q70 has plenty of grunt under the hood and a decent range of features. However, it's all wrapped up in a dull-looking and slightly too heavy and bulky chassis. Ultra-portables are all about sex appeal and this machine just hasn't got the x-factor ...
