Review:

When it comes to its exterior, Samsung R450 has a simple design but looks kind of attractive thanks to its aluminum finish (faux). The design of this laptop is somewhat minimal and constructed entirely with the use of plastic. Thus, it weighs around 5.29 pounds. Since it made out of glossy plastic, it would be much difficult to clean up the smudges.

As for the screen, it is given good protection. There will be some appearance of ripples especially when there is pressure being applied just from behind. On this aspect, Samsung fails to deliver.

Overall performance, it is at the mid-range. It response well when it comes to doing daily tasks. For those gaming enthusiasts there who would want to play 3D games such as Call of Duty, you need to back off on this one. It is not advisable to play modern games on this laptop for you will be frustrated.

For its price, it could have been lowered than that. Since Samsung R450 has not much to offer for customers out there. When it comes to simple applications, surfing the net, and others, then this laptop can do them all aside from these there is not much to expect from this model.
