Samsung: laptop model RV408
Laptops Samsung companies have always distinguished themselves and still differ in excellent build quality, stylish design, their impeccable functionality and, which is important - relatively low cost. And a vivid proof of this - the fourteen-inch model laptop RV408... This model is a budget device that can easily solve simple, both work and home tasks. And as a consequence of the low cost of this device - not a strong processor, a weak integrated graphics core and a cheap display. Speech about any games on this laptop model cannot be conducted, for reasons clear to all users. Everything is in order with the appearance of the laptop, therefore, in this regard, there can be no complaints, since the model Samsung RV408 - classic. This device is not equipped with a Bluetooth adapter for wireless communication, and this laptop model comes without a pre-installed operating system. Most likely, all these shortcomings were the result of the low cost of the device.
For those users who primarily surf the Internet with a laptop, watch movies, cartoons and listen to music, the RV408 model will be the most ideal option. If you are a user who is not picky about portable equipment, then why pay more?
RV408 notebook design
The presented model looks pretty simple and cheap. The quality of the plastic is poor. There is no creativity in the appearance of the device - the black and silver colors give the classic, as well as the conservatism of this laptop model. Laptop model cover RV408 covered with gloss, which means that scratches and marks from the user's fingers cannot be avoided by the device. The developers of the company did a little more competently with the interior of the laptop - matte plastic was used inside it. The only glossy insert is the strip above the keyboard. The disadvantage of all budget notebook models, as well as this model, is fragile plastic, which easily bends under the pressure of the user's hands.
The lid in the laptop opens to all 180 degrees, based on this, users of this device can easily tilt the display to the desired angle. Under the touchpad, exactly in the center are five laptop status indicators.
The glossy display of the laptop is surrounded by a matte bezel and rubber pads are located around its perimeter. Framed by a 0.3 mega pixel webcam. Processor and performance of the RV408 laptop The performance of this notebook model is not the strongest point of the Samsung RV408-A01. The device is equipped with a budget 2-core Intel Celeron T3500 processor with a clock frequency of each core of 2.1 GHz (cache memory - the third level, 1 megabyte). There is simply no built-in memory controller or graphics in this processor. In the device of the company's engineer, a 2 gigabyte RAM bar was installed. The amount of RAM can be increased to 4 gigabytes by adding another module. All multimedia files, graphic and text, will be stored on the hard drive installed in the device, the volume of which is 250 GB (the maximum speed of the hard disk is 5400 rpm, the interface is SATA). The graphics capabilities in this notebook model are rather weak. This goes without saying, as this laptop is equipped with an integrated Intel Mobile GMA 4500M video adapter. You should focus your attention on the fact that a laptop of this model is supplied without an operating system preinstalled on it, in a word - the choice and installation of the operating system will fall directly on the shoulders of the user. RV408 laptop screen and sound This laptop model has a proprietary LED-backlit display with a diagonal of 14 inches, and the resolution of the liquid crystal matrix is 1366x768 dots per inch. The sides of the screen have a ratio of 16: 9. Due to the glossy surface of the screen, images appear much brighter and juicier. What this matrix can not please, is the low contrast ratio: black colors on the screen look dark gray. And, perhaps, the characteristics of this display for working with office applications will be more than enough. The sound system built into the laptop consists of two sound speakers, each with a capacity of one and a half watts. They are located at the front end of the device. Unfortunately, this laptop model does not shine with excellent sound data: the quality of the output sound leaves much to be desired. For the category of users who belong to gourmets and lovers of deep and rich sound, the way out of this situation will be to connect an external acoustics system to a laptop. Keyboard and touchpad for laptop model RV408 A fairly comfortable keyboard and touchpad are what at all times set Samsung devices apart from other brands. All controls in notebook models of this South Korean company stand out for their stylishness and ergonomics, as well as optimal key travel and do not click at all when pressed. As for the keyboard layout, there are no complaints here - absolutely everything is located in its rightful and usual places. The touch surface of the touchpad is recessed into the body laptop , and is located just below the space bar. There are no problems with cursor positioning, as the touchpad has a matte surface. The touch panel has both horizontal and vertical scrolling, and even supports multitouch technology (the user will be able to swipe and zoom). Under the touchpad, there are two separate keys that perform the mission of "mouse" buttons. These buttons are pressed very easily, but with a very unpleasant loud click. RV408 laptop interface connectors and ports This device cannot boast of a set of available interfaces. To connect external peripheral devices to a laptop, the company's developers provide three USB connectors (type 2.0), and for connection to an external display, plasma panel or LCD TV - VGA video output (D-Sub type). The card reader supports four standards of memory cards (MMC, SDXC, SD, SDHC). There is also a standard input for connecting a microphone, a headphone output, an RJ-45 connector and an optical drive for reading information from optical discs. To our deep regret, this laptop model lacks HDMI, eSATA and ExpressCard connectors - this fact affects the budget of this device. These connectors are available only in more expensive laptop configurations, but in the model NP-RV408-A01 plugs are inserted into the places of these connectors.

Unfortunately, the Bluetooth module is not provided by the device design. In order to be able to communicate with family and friends using the Skype service, this laptop model is equipped with a webcam with a resolution of 0.3 mega pixels. Accumulator battery Laptop Model Samsung RV408-A01 has at its disposal a standard 6-cell lithium-ion rechargeable battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh (44 Wh). In the classical mode of operation, working autonomously, this device will be able to hold out for about an hour and a half. But in reading mode the laptop model RV-408 will function for five hours. The battery will charge in approximately two hours. So we have a laptop Samsung RV408.The main advantage of this model is its low price. The focus on budgeting entailed a whole "steam locomotive" of shortcomings. This includes the weak performance of the system, low contrast of the liquid crystal matrix, the absence of a Bluetooth module, an HDMI connector and a pre-installed operating system on the laptop. But, nevertheless, the presence of obvious advantages of the device can be safely identified. And, first of all, it is a fairly comfortable keyboard, a relatively long battery life. laptop from Samsung and, without a doubt, an attractive cost RV408.
