Samsung today announced its new Notebook Series 7
CHRONOS 17-inch model.
Encased in a compact aluminum chassis, the
multimedia-ready Series 7 CHRONOS 17 with Intel's 3rd
generation Core i7 Quad Core processor and ExpressCache
represents a capable desktop replacement. The
ExpressCache technology developed by Diskeeper provides
8 GB of flash memory on the motherboard, enabling a
faster start-up as well as increasing the PC's overall
performance; web browsing is two times faster (based on
Microsoft Internet Explorer) while the device takes just
two seconds to wake up.
The Series 7 CHRONOS 17 is equipped with a Full HD
display (17.3"), featuring 300 nit brightness and 1080p
resolution. Samsung's MaxScreen technology is also
providing up to an extra inch of viewing without
sacrificing portability - its 17.3" display fits into a
profile usually used for 16" models.
Graphics is powered by an NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2 GB
GPU. To match the visual experience, the Series 7
CHRONOS 17 incorporates JBL optimized speakers and a
subwoofer.
In addition to uninterrupted performance of up to 8
hours on a single charge, Samsung says that its Battery
Life Plus technology keeps 80% of the cell's original
capacity in a life cycle lasting up to 1,500 charging
cycles.
The 17" Series 7 weighs 2.98 kg (6.56 lbs) and is 25.4
mm thin.
