Looking for a new laptop

Well, its 2009 and I'm sitting here with my tiny little 10.6" laptop from 2005 and thinking now isn't all that bad of a time to get something new

I like notebooks on the smaller side as I travel a lot. 10.6" is just starting to feel WAY to small lol. So I was checking out newegg.com and saw they had 0% interest for 12 months...

So I applied and sure enough I got approved lol. They'll probably take anyone about now...

Well I noticed the new Samsung notebooks and they seem to be competitively priced to the Dells, VIAOs, and Toshibas I had been pricing (and customizing).

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...131017&bop=And

If you follow that link ^^^^ those are the few I narrowed it down to. They don't have any real reviews yet being they are fairly new to the market.

So, I was looking for some general opinions/reasons which to get.

The middle one seems a bit faster on the HD speed and DDR3 memory but with pretty much the same options (minus those just stated) I find myself liking the 13.3" red one lol

Thanks in advance for opinions

Re: Looking for a new laptop

Go with the samsung P460-44P (Middle comp) Based on the fact they are mostly Identical but the middle or 44P has a 7200 RPM drive compared to a ****ty 5400 RPM. That and memory is DDR3 which is > DDR2
