The Samsung Series 7 notebooks, like the Series 9, have a distinct look that's not copying the big fruit. This is a sleek and minimalist laptop with an understated and elegant design. Beware the Best Buy version that downgrades the dedicated graphics, loses the backlit keyboard and adds WiMAX. There are several Samsung Series 7 notebooks, ranging from 14" to 15.6", and we're looking at the upscale Chronos model NP700Z5A-S04US with a 2.2GHz Intel Core i7 2675QM 4 core CPU, switchable Intel HD 3000 and AMD Radeon HD6750M graphics with 1 gig VRAM, an internal DVD burner, 6 gigs of RAM and a 7RPM hard drive. This notebook won't burn your lap or make the fellas worry about their fertility. The underside is plastic but we're totally cool with that because plastic is durable and dissipates heat well. While their smartphones lose weight with the help of lots of plastics, the Chronos has an aluminum lid and deck. The Chronos is the lightest in the group, and it seems Samsung's ability to make extremely thin and light devices doesn't just apply to their Android smartphones. It keeps company with the 15" MacBook Pro, late 2011/early 2012 HP Envy 15 and the Dell XPS 15z. In Chief (twitter: Samsung Series 7 Chronos is that rare breed of 15" laptops that have the power of multimedia and gaming 17" systems. What's not: Display has narrow viewing angles, keyboard offset is awkward at first. What's hot: Extreme power and portability, high res matte display, less expensive than competitors.
