The conglomerate operates in many different domains and includes: Samsung Electronics (the largest electronics company in the world), Samsung Heavy Industries (the second largest ship builder) and Samsuny C&T (a big global construction company).
Since it is the largest electronics company in the world, you have definitely seen some of its electronic products so far, and even used some of them. You may heard of the Samsung TV-s, or Samsung mobile phones, but what not so many people know is that Samsung also produces a few models of laptops.

It is quite a good everyday computing laptop, that comes at a price of 679 dollars.
What you will first notice at this laptop is it’s color, which is not just the simple and classic black found on most of the laptops. This one is colored with a combination of black and red, and it looks quite nice. Its display screen is a 14″ LED backlit high definition widescreen display with a 1366 x 768 resolution, that delivers intense detail and clarity.
Since it doesn’t have such a large display screen, it is quite a small and light laptop, and it can be placed in the ultraportable laptops category. And here are its dimensions:
- Product Height 1.2″
- Product Width 13.5″
- Product Weight 5 lbs.

- Processor Brand Intel ®
- Processor Intel® Core ™ i3
- Processor Speed 2.13 Ghz
- Display Type High-definition LED-backlit (1366 x 768)

- Wireless Networking Wireless- B+G+N

Best Buy Laptop
Published by OnlyBestLaptops, on May 20 2010, in the categories: Best selling devices
Best Buy is a major retail store from the United States of America that is specialized in selling all kinds of consumer electronic products. The company was founded in 1966 with the initial name Sound of Music, and it got the name Best Buy in 1983. It has the headquarters in Richfield, Minnesota, US, but in time it had expanded all over the United States, and even in other countries too. Today you can find Best Buy stores in Mexico, Turkey, China, Canada and also Puerto Rico. It is quite a large business and makes revenues of billions of dollars each year. In case you don’t have a Best Buy store in your city, you can also buy a product from the official site of the company, which is www.bestbuy.com
So let’s have a look on this site, and see which are some of the products offered. You can find home appliances such as: washers, refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, electric vehicles etc, or video games and gadgets, or CDs and DVDs with music, movies and TV shows, or office devices and furniture, or car and GPS products, or computers, laptops, netbooks, monitors, printers, or digital cameras, mobile phones, speakers, TV-s and many more others. But for today we’ll focus just on the products that are interesting us the most: the Best Buy laptops. There are hundreds of different models here on the site, and you can choose them depending on different criteria. The first three major categories would be: laptops, MacBooks and netbooks.
You can also choose them depending on their main purpose, and here you have: premium laptops, everyday laptops, ultra thin laptops, gaming laptops, small business laptops and also netbooks. You can also choose them depending on the operating system, and here you have just 2 choices: Windows or Mac. Some other criteria to choose from would be: backlit keyboard (yes or no), new arrivals, collection (online only, gaming series, small business, refurbished, blue label and next class), laptop weight (Standard – more than 5.5 lbs. or Ultraportable – 5.5 lbs. or less), brand (Toshiba, HP, Dell, Asus, Apple, Lenovo etc), price range (less than 600 dollars, 600 – 899, 900 – 1199, 1200 – 1799 and 1800 dollars and up), laptop features(Blu-ray support, Energy Star Qualified, HDMI output and others).
You can also choose them depending on technical details such as: system RAM memory (2 GB, 3 GB, 4, 6 or 8), screen size (14 inch and under, 15 – 16 inch, 17 inch and up) and finally processor brand (AMD or Intel). With so many different criteria to choose from, you will definitely find the laptop you are looking for in just a few minutes.
So now you know one of the best places to buy a laptop (in case you are living in the United States of America), and you don’t even need to go to a Best Buy store, because you can simply buy the product from the comfort of your own home (from the website of course). As we said there are many different models on this site, with many different features, and with prices ranging from 600 to 2,300 dollars. Usually a more expensive product is also better, so you can imagine that the Best Buy laptops are also the most expensive ones.
For example the one that has a price of 2,300 dollars is the Apple MacBook Pro with a 17 inch display screen, which has the same price as the Alienware M 17 X with an Intel Core 2 Quad processor. Actually all of the laptops with a price of more than 2,000 dollars are from Apple or Alienware, so you can imagine that these companies are making the best, and also the most expensive notebooks on the market.
