Review Update Samsung Series 7 700Z3C-S01 Notebook

Longer battery life. The Ivy Bridge update from Samsung's handy 14-inch Chronos perfected the battery life. You will also learn if the new processor and the new GeForce GT630M graphics pay off for the buyer. ...

Bright and matte display ; Good performance ; Long battery life ; High-performance CPU ; Very good keyboard ; Entry level gaming performance

Few interfaces ; Low-contrast TN panel ; High temperature development under load

Good craftsmanship goes hand in hand with perfect input devices. There should be more notebooks like this

Review Samsung Series 7 700Z3A-S03DE Notebook

Well-rounded ultrabook. Long battery runtimes, a matt screen and high performance - it almost looks as if Samsung has made the dream of a perfect mobile companion come true. But is the notebook for over ?1000 really as perfect as it seems? ...

Very bright and matt screen ; Good equipment ; High performance ; Long battery life ; High-quality workmanship ; Excellent keyboard

High price ; Few interfaces ; Contrast weak TN screen ; High temperature development and slight throttling

Unfortunately, the notebook can't hide how much load is put on the fan. The processor only achieves a fraction of its potential performance during full load

Mixed bag

Sleek, smooth operation. Backlit keyboard, smart on-board controls to maximize lifespan

Display failed after 3 months, requiring replacement. What a nightmare

Great Laptop... Until I sent it in for repair

I bought this laptop new in July as a college graduation present from my parents. I was incredibly happy with the laptop... at first. I was excited to be able to game (play WoW at reasonable FPS for raiding and little latency; exciting for a little...

very happy with Samsung Series 7 CHRONOS

I bought this SAMSUNG in July '12 to replace a 16" SONY VAIO from late 2008 so it is definitely thinner and lighter than what I had before. I like the fact that it has an 8 cell battery but I wish it were removable. It has a fan but it doesn't always...
