Remember that red Samsung Q30 laptop I wrote about a while back? What, you mean you don't memorise my every utterance? Shame on you. No matter, at least I get to remind you of it now that the Samsung Q40 has been launched in a bright pink variety. Available exclusively in PC world, this super-lightweight 1.15kg laptop is very slim, packs an Intel 1.2GHz Core Solo processor, 512MB of memory and 60GB hard drive. Yours for just shy of £1300 (surely that could have popped in a Core Duo for that price?).

I think the Q30 is much better (sure it's red and not pink) but it's better value for money. And I totally agree! They could def. have put in a Core Duo for that price tag.
You don't need to read further than 'exclusive to PC World' to know this doesn't represent value for money. Richard
PC World are ditching all their winxp laptops, at a huge price drop. The kicker is with 99%, a free upgrade to windows vista premium is included by way of coupon.
this lappy can be gotten for 899 EUR, approx 620 GBP.
As a guy, I tend to steer clear of pink. But at this price... Its very tempting. At the very least I could probably spray paint it.
Ps.
I agree with the other comment; the q30/35's are much better, but at PC Worlds current pricepoint (600 eur cheaper) I can hardly fault this laptop. even if its "pretty in pink".
