Samsung X520 Pro Reviews

Samsung's X520 is a bit heavier than we'd like, but its great battery life, comfortable keyboard and large hard disk make it a great choice if you want a comparatively light laptop with a large screen.

Despite its low-powered processor, the X520 is perfectly adequate for undemanding users who aren't going to be doing much more than surfing the Internet, word processing and a bit of image-editing. And with good battery life and a decent keyboard, the X520 has got plenty going for it. On the downside, it's fairly expensive at £649. However, with Samsung releasing laptops like there's no tomorrow, its models tend to fall in price only a few months after they're released. And if the X520 follows this trend, it may well be available for around £500 after Christmas, which is more like the price we'd be willing to pay for it. As it stands, it's just a bit too expensive considering its relatively low-powered components.

The Samsung X520 offers a good mix of power and comfort, with portability slightly lacking. If you want a machine to accompany you on the daily commute, you should probably look elsewhere, but if you're not put off by its size or weight, this is a great option.

The Samsung X520 is undeniably a light 15in laptop with usefully long battery life and enough to firepower to keep most users satisfied. But we weren't enamoured by the build and 'feel', which we hazard will not become a true classic in the line-up of Samsung's normally solid-feeling notebooks.

With integrated graphics and a 1.3GHz processor the X520 is no speed demon, but decent battery life and a stylish design boost its appeal.

Samsung's X-range is having a downright family gathering in our editorial office at the moment. After we have reviewed the small X120 and the somewhat bigger X420 in the previous weeks, their big brother, X520, now dares to stride over our benchmark course. The little ones showed weaknesses in the keyboard and display. Will the big brother prove to be different or is there a great family resemblance?

With the X520, Samsung has created a competent but never outstanding laptop and while it’s not a bad buy, at this size there are better options available.
