So despite the extra size, the Q310 is still pretty portable and as you might have guessed already it looks more or less exactly the same as the Q210. Indeed, from the moment you unpack the Q310, you can't help but feel it's a bit of a looker, regardless of your fondness or otherwise for the daub of red on the palm-rest - something that's divided opinion in the office.
Quite apart from the coloured front, most of the machine is finished in Samsung's trademark piano black. This includes the lid and it's simple and sleek, with only the Samsung logo in discrete white lettering marring its clean surface. Its edges are also subtly curved, lending the machine a sleek overall appearance. Of course this kind of finish is as susceptible as ever to fingerprints and marks, but at least Samsung has included its usual soft cleaning cloth for keeping things looking tidy.
