Samsung R480, R580 and R780 Now Available at Best Buy w/ Blu-Ray

rr580One of the most striking notebooks from CES 2010 for me was the Samsung R series notebooks which made a splash with an “invisible touchpad”. These wonderful looking and well equipped notebooks are now available at Best Buy at attractive prices; especially considering that the R480 and R580 include Blu-Ray drives.

The three new Samsung notebooks are priced as follows;

  • 14″ Samsung R480 with Blu-Ray – $730 – Intel Core i3
  • 15″ Samsung R580 with Blu-Ray – $830 – Intel Core i5
  • 17″ Samsung R780 w/o Blu-Ray – $930 – Intel Core i5 (online only soon)

The 14″ R480 includes an 8 Cell battery and packs in a 1366×768 resolution as well as a 500GB hard drive. The R580 and R780 both inlcude a more powerful graphics processor, NVIDIA GeForce 310M and GT330M respectively, and the 17″ R780 is able to pull off a 1600 x 900 resolution.
