Samsung Series 7 Gamer review: the company's first gaming laptop makes its way to the US

Sure, thin, light and power-efficient may be the latest trend in notebook design, but one category of portable computing isn't afraid of going against

Gorgeous display ; Graphical powerhouse ; Subtle, clean design

Gamer Mode" dial is over the top ; LED management software is limited ; Chassis design limits port availability

Despite suffering a handful of faults common to oversized laptops, the Samsung Series 7 Gamer excels where it counts. Gamers looking for a rig that's easy to relocate won't be disappointed.

Samsung's Series 7 lineup is targeted at folks who want a little more oomph in their laptops, offering larger screens, gaming-ready GPUs, and potent processors. It's time to meet the family's...

Stylish design ; Bright, attractive display ; Strong (though not category leading) performance

Samsung Series 7 Gamer

The Samsung Series 7 Gamer delivers on most fronts, making for a powerful gaming laptop that's equipped with some great features. Its minor shortcomings are tempered by its reasonable price tag.

Adjustable power settings via Mode Dial. Gorgeous display. WiDi. Blu-ray. Great keyboard/touchpad combination. Reasonably priced for its class. Solid battery life.

Different modes are of questionable value. Minor amount of flexing on the lid. Some bloatware.

Although we tested the Series 7 Gamer both "Balanced" and "Gaming" modes, scores from the latter mode were used for the sake of comparison since it is, after all, a gaming laptop. Moreover, unless conserving battery life is imperative, many users would...

Samsung Series 7 Gamer

For many PC gamers, owning a powerful laptop that will let them have their fun anywhere is preferable to staying rooted at home with an oversize desktop rig. The Series 7 Gamer is Samsung's answer--but how does it stack up against other...

Runs games smoothly at high resolutions ; Moderately priced for the power

A power hog ; Heavy

A great system for game fans on the go, the Series 7 Gamer won't completely break the bank.

Samsung Series 7 Gamer review: Gaming excellence that won't fit in your backpack

Samsung's debut in the gaming laptop space certainly doesn't shatter any stereotypes, but it more than delivers on expectations.

The ; has a fantastic screen, plenty of ports, a blazing processor and graphics, and most of the features you'd be looking for in a gaming desktop replacement.

This clunky beast isn't a looker, and it's hardly priced to be relevant to most shoppers: at slightly under $2,000, this is a specialty item.

The Samsung Series 7 Gamer is huge, expensive, and unattractive, but it's also one of the best gaming laptops that we've seen this year. If you don't mind its beefy 17-inch form, you won’t be disappointed.

Review Samsung Series 7 Gamer 700G7A Notebook

Attack on the gaming elite. Alienware and Asus have to watch out: Samsung presents a serious opponent for the gaming leaders, M17x and G74SX, called 700G7A. In addition to high-end components (Radeon HD 6970M) and good equipment (Blu-Ray drive), the 17...

Samsung Series 7 Gamer review

An attractive laptop powerful enough to run the latest games. What's the catch?

Powerful ; Good at games ; Future-proof ; Fantastic screen ; 3D capable

Expensive ; Unattractive design ; Short battery life ; Sometimes unstable

Gaming laptops such as the Samsung Series 7 Gamer can be a funny old breed. The idea of a portable PC powerful enough to play the latest games certainly appeals. But the reality is often a system that, due to its high-powered components, is bulky,...
