I am a fellow E450 user, so I guess I need to update about this little beast. It works wonder, and I have pretty high hopes for future fusion chips performance.

Computing in general has already enough power to run everyday tasks + some entertainment. Im completely satisfied with price/performance that I paid for this laptop. Decided to try the new 'low-end' by AMD, the APU concept is very attractive to try (I always try low end, high end certainly can run everything. IMO, there's no point to 'test' high end chips, unless you really pay for a laptop/pc for the benchmark numbers). I paid RM1080 for Samsung 14" with 2GB RAM Free Dos, add another 2GB for RM65 makes it a 4GB in total.

This are the breakdown of my everyday use:

OS: Win 7 Ultimate, UBuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot

Work: I am an IT Consultant, so I use SAP and web based application, a lot of it. Running Applications in an encrypted network, with multiple running applications shows no problems, no lags at all. I run IE (For accessing web based applications), Chrome (For browsings) and Firefox (For Internet bankings) and the system is as responsive as a computer can be.

Home: I browse quite a lot with a lot of tabs open, occasionally play games, PES 2012 able to play full settings with occasional slow downs, medium setting smooth sailing. run torrents + everything normal people do at home. can certainly handle any video files i throw at it, even when connected by the HDMI to the TV. Flash games (I play games in Chrome) perform fantastic.

Just some things I discover:
1) The system runs a bit slow IF the power is not connected (games lag a lot, other activities doesnt really show). maybe the APU and GPU need the extra power for the Turbo Boost.
2) CPU intensive tasks really hogs it down. such as compressing/decompressing, installing large apps (well, it uncompress files thats why), transferring very large files etc. But not really noticeable if not really pushing it (simultanously play games etc). Windows 7 ultimate starts up is quite slow, but not from hibernate. Ubuntu (Latest 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot) loads flawlessly in seconds though, but driver supports is not yet available for Ubuntu, given the relatively new chip. Graphics is run on VESA driver, no ATI driver support at the moment. Im pretty sure its coming.
3) If want to run games, be sure to close unneeded background applications. Multitasking is not its forte so to have the best experience, just close what things you currently not using.
4) It runs really cool. even while pushing it to 100% all the time. The laptop itself have no fans, so it stays quiet and cool. I really do appreciate it after been using intel CULV for my last laptop, which runs quite hot with no fan design (Acer 1810TZ). The battery also got a respectable 4 hours with constant use.

Overall I need a cheap laptop that is capable to handle all my tasks, at home and office, and i certainly found one. My Samsung RV series does have the power i need, and its quite a looker. Pull the AMD sticker off and nobody will know what runs in it. U can get low end Intel for that price, but i doubt it can run the multimedia parts. Maybe its better to handle super heavy multitasking, but in real world not that u need that very often, unless you're running 'tests'. with this i dont mind to change laptop every 1.5 years

huhu yeah but that will jack up the price of it i guess haha. currently, its cheaper from the price i pay for my watch, so really, no complain haha.

Its Samsung RV413. They dont even have it in their website from the looks of it, and in my theory, they are reusing the chassis maybe with the AMD chip. design-wise exactly like this: http://www.samsung.com/my/consumer/pc-peri...ail&tab=feature

for other laptop suggestion, I dont think i can help sorry. Me myself just go lowyat spend 5 hours trolling around huhu.

upon reading around, it does have haha. But it so quiet its unnoticable i guess. been using almost 1.5 years isk . kudos to Acer i guess for a noiseless fan
