This beautiful notebook is the Samsung R522 R-Series notebook computer features a 16:9 widescreen, so your widescreen movies will completely fill the screen. Movies and images will be sharp and clear with the 15.6" high definition 1366 x 768 LCD screen. Thanks to an LED backlight, the R522 LCD display delivers bright and beautiful colors. HD SRS audio is rich and clear. Performance is fast and powerful too, with a state-of-the-art Intel® Core 2 Duo processor and 250 GB hard drive. And a built-in 1.3 MP web camera makes video chatting / conferencing easy.
It features a shiny blue-rimmed touch pad which boasts an alluring blue light and the smooth rectangular-shaped isolation design gives you an attractive first impression. I also has a 3-in-1 memory card reader and 4 x USB 2.0 ports, so you can seamlessly move data from your digital camera, camcorder, MP3 player or PDA straight to the notebook.
The hard drive disk is a voluminous 250 GB.

The brilliant LED-backlit display offers up to 30 percent more viewing area than traditional screens in an incredible 300 nits of brightness. Using LED technology means screens are thinner, brighter, more durable and power efficient. You can also enjoy photo-like image quality, greater viewing angles and better text legibility, reducing eye strain and boosting productivity.
One thing I noticed and left me baffled is the fact that the Samsung R522-52S notebook has no Bluetooth capability. I find it impossible these days, when more and more electronics producers aim to create total wireless products, that a notebook, which its entire design idea is based on portability and mobility, lacks suck a thing.
One thing that put a smile on my face though is the fact that the oh so old and obsolete RJ11 Modem is not in there anymore. This king of connection has been overused for so long I thought it will never go away.
