Our laptop and netbook product surveys gain 2 new Samsung models today. The new "Premium" version of the N510, the ION netbook, and the Samsung R580, an originally designed allrounder laptop.

The Samsung N510 Premium is now on Windows 7 and has an improved configuration. The original N510's matte screen has however been replaced with a glossy one - an important distinction.

With its red and black design, the Samsung R580 has quite a look about it. Capable of handling tasks across the board at an affordable price, it certainly has some cards to play.
