Editorial note

The Samsung NP-R480 is a laptop that offers solid performance, particularly thanks to its Intel® Core™ i5 processor running at a frequency of 2.53 GHz, with Turbo Boost technology to handle demanding tasks. Its 500 GB storage capacity is also an asset, allowing for a large amount of data, applications, and multimedia files to be stored. Its 14-inch screen, although with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, provides a decent visual experience for work and entertainment. Additionally, its lightweight design of 2.2 kg makes it easy to carry, making it a practical choice for users on the go. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The 2 GB of internal memory may prove insufficient for users looking to run heavy applications or perform intensive multitasking, leading to slowdowns. Furthermore, the lack of USB 3.0 ports limits data transfer speeds, which can be a hindrance for those wishing to connect modern peripherals. The NiMH battery technology, while reliable, may not provide the required autonomy for prolonged use without access to a power outlet. Finally, the screen, while functional, may not meet the expectations of users seeking high-definition display quality. In summary, the Samsung NP-R480 is a laptop that offers good performance and appreciated portability, but it may disappoint some users due to its limitations in memory, connectivity ports, and display quality.
