The Samsung NP-R20 was released at CeBIT in March 2007 but has been available in some European countries, a few weeks previous with very spirited prices. Perhaps the key feature of the R20 is the use of ATI's chipset (ATI Radeon Xpress 1250, also known as RS600). The R20 features a 14.1 "screen and offers a somewhat smaller option for people who do not ever want the 15.4" models.
