    Engadget gave the new Samsung QX410 a fantastic review (as did CNET, putting it in their top 5 recommended laptops last time I checked). For my own purposes it's excellent performance for the price ($800 apparently) and an ideal size as I'll have to be quite mobile over the coming few years as I'll mainly be using it for my art practice.

    Problem is though - I can't seem to find any mention of the laptop on a european retailer site. Does anybody know if it just hasn't been officially released over here yet?

    Here's the review: http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/07/samsung-qx410-review/

    IIRC they is no plans for the QX range to be released in Europe.

    The biggest negative of this model is its going to be obseleted in less than 3months time with Intels Sandybridge CPUs appearing in new models.
    The integrated GPU in SB is better than the discrete GPU, therefore you will see far better gpu performance and far better battery life for alot less money, without even taking into account the cpu performance boost and temperature drops the new CPU provides.

    Hmm, interesting, thanks for the reply. I'm looking at upgrading in the next 6 months or thereabouts - I'll take a look at what Samsung comes up around then.
