Anyone using a Samsung R20 laptop?

I'm thinking of buying a Samsung R20 laptop and wondered what kind of performance I can expect from SL on this machine? I don't play any other PC games so don't really want to spend a huge amount on a gaming laptop, but at the same time it has to be good enough for SL. From reading numerous posts on these forums it seems there might be some issues with various machine specs, so I'm unclear on what to expect from this machine.

Is there anyone out there using this machine for SL? If so, what's it like?

Alternatively, can anyone else advise on likely performance from this spec:

Intel Core Duo T2250 - 1.73GHz (x2), 533MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache
1gb DDR2 memory
Radeon Xpress 1250M graphics card

I've also looked at the Samsung R70 which has a dedicated graphics card (NVidia GeForce 8400M 256MB TurboCache), which I assume would provide a better proposition for SL, but comes in at around £200 more, which is a big difference. Would it really be worth it?

Failing this, any ideas what the best option would be laptop wise with a max £600 budget?

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
