We like:
Battery life; sturdy chassis; compact and light
We don't like:
Disappointing screen; keyboard flexing at the corner; 13-inch screen not worth the extra money

Full review:
If you like your laptops small and with decent battery life, Samsung's Q310 will definitely appeal. It is, however, just a minor update to the Q210, and the 13-inch display is the only major modification. So is it worth the upgrade to a £650 machine? Continue Reading...
