Weighing 4.18 pounds, the laptop also supports an HD audio system enhanced with SRS 3D technolgy, 802.11a/b/g WLAN, and a 6-in-1 memory card reader. TrustedReviews has a comprehensive review of this laptop. Here is the verdict.

Samsung’s updated Q35 is just as impressive as the original. The new Core 2 Duo processor brings with it extra performance and features, while the red lid really does make it look that bit more special. If you prefer the understated silver, that option is still available as the first picture in this review shows. But best of all, Samsung isn’t expecting you to pay through the nose for its fully featured, thin and light notebook.
