Samsungs R522 laptop still not official, gets reviewed anyway

Waiting for official confirmation on that R522 that was spied a few weeks back? It doesn’t look like you’re going to get it, at least not yet, but that hasn’t stopped TrustedReviews from giving one a proper once-over regardless. The site’s 15.6-inch review unit sports a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo T6400 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 320GB disk — plenty of power in a fairly small and nicely styled package. Decent battery life, too, clocking nearly 3.5 hours under mixed use. However, cable-free connectivity options were somewhat less impressive, lacking 802.11N, Bluetooth, and any sort of cellular wireless. So, a solid choice if you’re not looking for the latest in connectivity options or don’t mind toting along an external adapter. Prices are said to be between £550 and £600 ($800 to $875) with availability over there starting next month. Samsung’s still staying mum about a release on these shores.
