The SAMSUNG S3520 Laptop is a stylish new addition to the range of mid-range laptops on offer from Samsung. Some of the main highlights of the S3520 are; the Intel i3 processor, a stunning bright LCD display and Intel GMA X4500M graphics which makes this laptop not only ideal for getting some serious stuff done but also an ideal machine for entertainment.

The SAMSUNG S3520 is surprisingly very well priced across a number of leading online stores with a price well under £425. Considering the fact that the laptop is equipped with a generous feature set; powerful processor, high quality display, generous RAM of 4GB and a massive hard disk with 500Gb space you would agree that just about a few months back the features would cost you well over £500.

This laptop also does well when it comes to some serious gaming and entertainment. It does not break sweat when you throw multiple applications, play full HD videos and 3D games. The availability of 4GB memory and 3MB cache on the processor support the intensive computing tasks very impressively.

For anyone seeking top value for money and tons of multimedia, we think the Samsung S3520 is one of the top laptop deals they must consider.

   I think the design of it is aweful to be honest. It looks like Samsung ran out of chrome halfway through the cover. May be the machine operator went for a quick fag and forgot where he left it. Its a big turn off for me.

   Anthony:

   Thanks for you feedback.

   Fair enough, if you don’t approve the design but there some nice features too; such as the Core i3-2310M or the 3MB Cache memory, the LED display etc.
