The Samsung R560 - Aura P8400 Madril is a versatile laptop designed for any job. It doesn't matter what kind of work it will be used for: it is suitable for both the office and graphic applications that consume a lot of OP. At the moment, there are several models of this laptop on the market: Aura P7350 Maloz and the described Samsung R560 - Aura P8400 Madril.
These two laptops are practically similar. If you look at it, you will not find any differences at first. But the most attentive will notice these differences. One of them: Aura P7350 Maloz has a weak processor. But don't be confused, because it beats with a 2GHz dual-core heart, 1066MHz FSB and 3MB L2 cache. The models are newer, have a high clock speed of the processor and a good power saving system.
Another difference: the presence of a "blue-toothed" comrade of version 2.0 with EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) on board. The price difference between the two models is only 120 Euro. Bluetooth should not be overestimated, because you only need it when you need it. For example: transferring files with a mobile phone or with another laptop. But my advice: don't overestimate Bluetooth.
Samsung R560 Laptop Case - Aura P8400
Samsung R560 - Aura P8400 Madril, unlike its predecessor, received both a new life and a new body: black, similar to a piano body. The case is glossy, and you already understand this: any dirt is visible on it. But the creators have thought of this too. The laptop comes with a small cleaning cloth.
The inner surface sparkles with the Samsung logo lettering. Also, the logo requires maintenance, like the rest of the parts of this laptop.
The usual sticker with information about the configuration of the laptop has been changed. Previously, it had more detailed information on the configuration. There are now a few entries left about the hardware and software components.
The laptop has the usual dimensions: 35.8 x 26.4 x 2.86 to 3.65 cm and a weight of 2.7 kg.
The holding mechanism is unusual, but not so modern. The top case cover can be fixed in any position. At least 2 cm before closing, only it will not bring you anything good. Of course, if you open it abruptly, the body may fly off.
There are no latches to ensure the lid is closed. The hinges and cover are pressure resistant. The maximum opening of the laptop is 130 degrees.
All Samsung notebooks are stable. This laptop is no exception. Six rubber inserts hold the laptop in place.
Samsung R560 Laptop Connectors - Aura P8400
With this laptop, it will probably connect almost everywhere. One might say, a station wagon.
A 100/1000 megabit network card is available with which you can connect to a wired network.
The laptop also has WLAN Standart 802.11 classes "a", "b", "g", "n". Now I will explain what it is.
Class "a" is the standard used primarily in the United States. If used in Europe, it has little compatibility with other standards.
Class "b" is used more in Europe than in other countries. Operates at frequencies of 2.4 GHz, allowing data transmission up to 5 Mbps.
Class "g" is needed for receivers up to 54 Mbps.
Class "n" is an innovative standard of the future, which will transmit information at a speed of 300 megabits per second.
Do not think that when Class "n" appears, the classes "b" and "g" will be removed. Because "n" and "g" are compatible with each other, and they will transmit information at a minimum speed of 5 Mbps, corresponding to the "b" - class.
There are also opportunities to transfer files via Bluetooth 2.0. But more then it is designed for wireless connection for mobile and PDA. Moreover, it has been used in laptops for a long time, compared to Bluetooth 1.0.
Samsung R60 - Aura Madril is equipped with a VGA port, 3 USB and HDMI ports. VGA is still used today. Needed in order to connect to computer monitors or TV. HDMI is the latest image transmission standard.With it, you can transfer an image from a laptop to a TV, if it supports HDMI / VDI input. At the same time, the image will not be distorted as in VGA. But it all depends on the resolution of the TV or external monitor.
If the screen only supports the DMI standard, then an HDMI to VDI adapter is needed.
Three USB ports should be enough for you. And if not, then you can buy a USB hub.
Well, its sound capabilities are standard. Two inputs, for a microphone (pink) and headphones or speakers (green). If you are not impressed with the possibilities of sounds, then you can connect PCI Express.
Also a very useful thing is a multi-slot for memory cards. With it, you can simultaneously write and read formats such as: SD, XD, MMC (MultiMediaCard), MMC Plus and SDHC. Memory cards for mobile and video cameras just fall under this list. If there are no slots you need, then buy a card reader for yourself.
The laptop also has a 1.3 Megapixel camera with high contrast. With the help of programs, you can and make them into frames. There is also a possibility of live photographs. Only the image can be distorted as the number of frames per second is very low.

Keyboard, something. Compared to other keyboards, it is conveniently organized. It is located in the middle of the body, while the hands are in place. All keys are in the right place and conveniently installed. But when typing, some keys rattled, but these are trifles.

You can configure it in the system settings, which sensitivity you need.

The R560 has a 15.6-inch diagonal display with a glossy finish. Only now the light will be behind the person's back. The image is very colorful and intense.
The display has a maximum resolution of 1280 by 800 inches. Because of this, the design is poor. In color, this is not observed.
