Samsung has just introduced its sleek-looking, portable PC line-up for fall 2010, and it includes four laptops and a netbook.

All of the new laptops mentioned here are intended to function wherever the user might like. That means at home, work and on-the-go, so we should be seeing some lightweight machines with good specs, but not over the top.

The only truly customizable laptop on the list is the RF510-S01, which is grouped together with the RF510-S02 and the RF710. The big differences with the latter mobile PCs is that they are powered by Intel Core i7-720QM CPUs, and they can each hold up to 640GB of hard drive space. The RF710 also sports a 17.3-inch display. Naturally, they also come with larger price tags of $1,079 and $1,099 respectively. Below, we'll cover the base (and cheaper) RF510-S01 model.

All of the new Samsung laptops are scheduled to be released during fall, but it doesn't get any more specific than that yet. There's a lot to cover here, so let's breakdown all of the specs of each new Samsung computer model:
