The Samsung R series are budget/low-cost. You'll need the X series to get a fair comparison.

Anyways, I'll bite.

The geizhals.at link is extremely unclear in the particular configuration being sold, so I'll do some educated guesses.

Your option apparently has shared memory(!!), slightly slower CPU, slightly higher weight and dimensions (these things are crucial for a laptop), a non-widescreen resolution of apparently 1024x768 in this configuration (ahahahaha), no Serial ATA, no Gigabit Ethernet, no backlit keyboard, no scrolling trackpad and no drive shock sensor. The only two things it has over the MacBook Pro is twice the RAM and a $3 built-in memory card reader that's likely to cause more trouble than it's worth.

Not to mention that Samsung doesn't export laptops to North America anyway, so the point is moot.
