Samsung's RF series notebook shows consumers what to look for when selecting a notebook

While a laptop has become a ubiquitous accessory for modern life, the actual process of choosing the right model can take some serious time and research. One simple purchase decision can go wrong if you don't do your research. Here is an enlightening guide from Samsung Electronics on how to shop for your next notebook.

According to experts from Samsung, your search for a notebook should be guided by four key factors: power to perform; capacity for space; quality to enjoy and design for portability.

1. Power to perform

Identify the notebook's processor. The quality of the processor will determine how frequent your PC freezes when you are multitasking or gaming.  Samsung's RF series notebooks has the best-in-class Intel® Core™ i5 Processor 460M (2.66 GHz, 3 MB) so you will never have to worry about your notebook PC slowing down during your busy moments and can enjoy videos at the fastest speeds.

2. Capacity for space

Check the graphics processor's type and volume. The RF series notebook is equipped with the latest nVIDIA GeForce GT330M graphics processor, which will make your 3D game or HD video experience shine. It is also important to pinpoint information about the graphics processor because it will ensure sufficient storage for saving all your personal photos and contents of your movie collection.  

3. Quality to enjoy

Simple add-ons bring more value to the entertainment experience. Look at multimedia features for quality entertainment. For example, the RF notebook has a vibrant high-resolution screen and 16:9 LED backlit display that delivers sharp images and exceptional color clarity. Have an immersive experience in sound quality with the Enhanced Acoustic Chamber System and 3-watt speakers by SRS Premium Sound. Also, find convenient connectivity options on the notebook. The RF series offers several connectivity options to share or stream Blu-ray videos, music and files through HDMI or All Share, a feature to share content across multiple devices like your TV.

4. Design for Portability

Face it - you can't enjoy lugging around a hefty notebook to the coffee shop or class. It is essential to find a sleek notebook that is tough enough to avoid cracks and is practical to use. The  RF series' the exterior is protected by a Samsung durable case that can survive any bump while flaunting a unique aluminum look with a scratch resistant surface. Appearance and weight are vital characteristics during the selection.

Use these four aspects from Samsung and you are guaranteed to purchase a notebook most compatible with your needs. In addition to the four aspects, be aware of the security packages and battery life. The security packages can avoid a virus, protect your documents and recover any loss items. For instance, the RF notebook has the Norton Internet Security program, BIOS Boot Up Password setting and a Samsung Recovery Solution setting to ensure your documents stay safe and confidential. Also, find information about the AC Adapter and battery life. The RF series notebook's AC Adapter has a 120 Watt and 6 cell battery capacity and will allow the device to function up to 5 hours.

Make a smart choice with Samsung's guide to ensure you purchase a notebook most compatible with your needs. You use your notebook on a daily or even hourly basis - pick the right one that lasts.
