Samsung is set to launch an update of its Aura series laptops with new models that will be offered at even more affordable prices than its predecessor. For starters, Samsung will be releasing the R410, which is a direct update of the original R20 laptop.

The Samsung R410 will sport a 14.1-inch display and will weigh 5.29-pounds. It will have a glossy black finish to maintain Samsung’s tradition of bringing sleek and stylish computing machines. The Samsung R410 will come packed with Intel’s 45nm Penryn processor, an ATI Radeon Xpress 1250M graphics chipset, an integrated DVD writer, gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and Super G Wi-Fi. In addition the R410 will also feature an integrated 1.3 webcam, memory card reader, three USB ports and a full size ExpressCard slot.

Expected to be available sometime in May, the R410 will have an SRP of around $945. Certainly not bad a price to pay for a laptop with such high-powered features.

Toshiba has introduced the latest and the meanest version of its flagship gaming notebook series. The Satellite X205-SLi has a cogent Penryn at its heart backed by NVIDIA’s SLI graphics, which will combine to give you the crispiest gaming experience imaginable.

The X205-SLi’s processor is an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 (45 nm) that clocks 2.1 GHz with a 3 Mb L2 cache. Besides the processor, the NVIDIA SLI graphics - with not one but two Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphic processing units - will make life a whole lot of fun for the professional ilk of gamers by rendering true-to-life graphics. The SLI graphics will give you brisk frame rates even at higher resolutions.
