Specs
This is my current Notebook, the Samsung P30 XVM1500:
The specs read as follows:

- RAM: 2 * 256MB PC2100 DDR-SDRAM (DDR266)
- Chipset: Intel 855 PM (Centrino)
- Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 (M9), AGP 4x, 32MB
- Display: 15" SXGA+, 1400x1050 pixels
- Hard disk: IBM IC25N060ATMR04-0, 60GB, 4200rpm, 2,5"
- Optical drive: Teac DV-W22E, 2x DVD-R, 1x DVD-RW, 2x DVD-RAM, 8x DVD-ROM
- LAN: Realtek 8139
- Wireless LAN: Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B (Centrino)

So the only thing it doesn't have is a usable operating system and Bluetooth, but the latter can be added as a USB module for 34 Euros ($15), so what...
Comparison with other P30 models
The XVM1500 model groups itself into the initial P30 family, which has been available since fall 2003, as follows:
| XTC 1400 | XVC 1400 | XVM 1500 | XTM 1700 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Pentium M, 1.4 GHz | Pentium M, 1.5 GHz | Pentium M, 1.7 GHz | |
| Memory | 256 MB (PC2100) | 2 * 256MB (PC2100) | ||
| Graphics | M9, 32MB | M9, 64MB | ||
| Display | 15" XGA (1024x768) | 15" SXGA+ (1400x1050) | ||
| Harddisk | 40GB | 60GB | 80GB | |
| Optical drive | 8x DVD-ROM, 24/10/10 CD | 2x DVD-R, 1x DVD-RW, 2x DVD-RAM, 8x DVD-ROM, 24/10/10 CD | ||
| Finger print reader | no | yes | ||
| OS | Windows XP Pro | Windows XP Home | Windows XP Pro | |
Don't ask me why they use this silly selection of operating systems, the XVM1500, which I own, ships with Windows XP Home Edition, pretty useless for a notebook that ships with the slogan "Pentium M for professionals"...

In the midst of 2004, the P35 family superseded the P30 family, whose main new feature is the new Pentium M core, codename "Banias":
