[Miyamoto]

The new Samsung Series 7 portable technology and design coalesce to form a laptop called to be important in the near future, since reaching the market later this year. There are models of 15 and 15.6 inches, with a total weight of 2.3 kilograms of equipment, a figure that Samsung has managed to manufacture these notebooks with brushed aluminum and removing frames, so that you could have more screen with less frame. Just do not expect it ultrabooks thickness models are 23.9 mm in that dimension. In case anyone might think that these new Samsung Series 7 are mediocre teams in terms of performance, start talking about the base configuration with a quad-core processor Intel Core i7 to 2.2 GHz 2675QM that add up to 8 GB of DDR3 RAM at 1333 MHz and AMD Radeon graphics with 1 GB HD6750M.

Samsung is also the way that many other manufacturers and the bottom of the unit have almost completely freed from air vents. Mainly, the air is exchanged via ports on the back along the wide hinge. Probably not least because of its powerful hardware - strongly heated and the few vents in the underside of the keyboard and - comprising Core i7 Quad Core and AMD Radeon HD 6750M. Visually, like the case very much. Completely kept in a flat color and the Chronos flaunt. With a thin frame display additional space is utilized well. At the terminals, Samsung has thought of everything and placed the interfaces left and right sides. Opening the display eliminates the space rear connectors.

The input devices consisting of isolation keyboard and large touchpad respond properly. The keys on the keyboard fell flat with a good pressure point. Furthermore, the push buttons of the touchpad in the selfsame building houses - but can still operated quite deliberately. Two features which come with the Chronos, Fast Shipping by boat cache and a brightness sensor. While we do not perceive the local acceleration by fast boat could, brightness sensor, a rapid adjustment of display brightness to the ambient illumination showed.
