The Series 7 notebook has a sleek brushed-aluminum body (under one-inch thick), smooth lines and a stunningly thin bezel screen, the Series 7 embodies premium design, making it the ideal computer.

By lessening the bezel and increasing the screen, the Samsung Series 7 laptop is highly portable without sacrificing screen size. With Samsung’s latest Max Screen technology, the Series 7 enables users to experience up to an extra inch of viewing without sacrificing mobility or portability. The 14-inch display is being contained within the form factor traditionally associated with a 13-inch model.

The 13-inch or 15.6-inch HD+ (1600 x 900) matte display features vivid colors and better brightness (300 nit) provided by Samsung Superbright Technology. As well as the display is powered by an AMD Radeon HD6750M graphics card. These features make the display ideal for any power user’s needs, whether inside or out, viewing everything from presentations to photos, videos and games.

The Series 7 comes with Intel Core i5 or the Intel Core i7 processor, features ExpressCache (which accelerates boot-up and start times). It provides an extra 8GB of flash memory on the motherboard enabling faster start-up as well as increasing the overall performance. Web browsing is up to 50-60 percent quicker (using Microsoft Internet Explorer). Also, the FastStart technology enables the laptop to transition from a hybrid sleep mode to full functionality in less than three seconds. And with Quick Boot, the notebook boots in just 19 seconds, enabling users to quickly jump into work or play while on-the-go.

With Samsung’s exclusive Easy Settings the Series 7 connects effortless to new wireless networks, projectors and more. And Samsung Easy Migration allows users to seamlessly transfer existing files to the new laptop by connecting their old PC to the Series 7.

With up to nine hours of battery life (depending on use), the Series 7 ensures an all day connection while on-the-go. In addition, the Samsung Power Plus technology ensures the Series 7 battery will retain 80 percent of the original capacity for up to 1,500 charges.
