Samsung 9 series / 7 series on display in Budapest

    image

    A lazy conference has not yet acquired a name for itself. Apple has it for a long time, Panasonic got the idea, now Samsung has got it. The Koreans gathered all their partners at once, called the journalists and drove the whole crowd to the capital of Hungary, where they showed the Samsung 9 series laptop and netbook (“slider tablet” in the company's terminology) 7 series.

    In Las Vegas, at the CES 2011 exhibition, I remember that non-serial samples of these devices were brought. The laptop was forbidden to be shot on video, and the netbook was completely fenced off from visitors with a blue ribbon, and it was given with great creak to hold it in hands.

    Two months later, at an event in Budapest, the Koreans showed serial versions of the products. The netbook now opens and closes clearly, all suspicious sounds have disappeared, and the thinnest Samsung laptop has become less glossy, which is good news. In addition, another novelty was noticed and studied at the conference: a gaming 3D laptop.


    A company representative spoke in detail about the new models.

    Samsung 9 series


    In Las Vegas, Samsung showed two notebook models from the 9th line: 11.6- and 13-inch, but it brought only the second to Budapest - apparently, they decided to focus on it.

    The main feature of the laptop is, of course, the case. The 13.3-inch 9 series is the first real competitor to the new MacBook Air. The Korean laptop is made of duralumin (twice as strong as usual), weighs 1.31 kg and is only 16 mm thick. Samsung claims that today it is "the thinnest and lightest 13-inch laptop."

    Special attention should be paid to the filling, which in the 9 series is very, very nice: Core i5 / i7 processors, 128/256 gigabyte SSDs, up to 8 GB of RAM.

    The set of connectors on the laptop is a little non-standard: one USB 2.0 and 3.0 connector, miniHDMI, a microSD card slot and a connector for connecting a network adapter or VGA port through adapters. These adapters, it is promised, will be supplied as a separate DVD-drive, stylized for the appearance of the laptop. Although who now uses optical media? .. The

    display is called SuperBright Plus. It displays 16 million colors and with the built-in light sensors selects the desired brightness level. The same thing with the keyboard: as soon as the laptop notices that it has become dark around, it will turn on the backlight of the keys.

    The battery in the 9 series is lithium-polymer and it is promised that the laptop will work offline up to three times more than regular laptops. Well, wait and see -

    In Russia, the laptop will go on sale at the end of March and in the maximum configuration will cost 60 thousand rubles.

    Samsung 7 series


    At an event in Budapest, it suddenly turned out that the slider tablet (in English the name of the gadget sounds like Sliding PC 7) will not be sold with a nice blue keyboard. The Koreans said that the blue color is annoying for many, so they had to repaint the keys in a proven black.

    Sliding PC 7, which in early January was not allowed to be held in hands, because it worked completely unpredictably, is now completely modified and is ready to start competing with Asus Eee Slider and Dell Inspiron Duo.

    The processor in Sliding PC 7 is Intel Atom, but the second generation is Z670 (1.66 GHz), Oak Trail platform. Hard drive - unexpectedly - solid state, 32 or 64 gigabytes, depending on configuration. The amount of RAM is two gigabytes. Connectors for microSD-card, USB / HDMI (via adapter), volume control on the case and a webcam are available. In theory, the standard battery of the device is enough for six hours of operation, and the extended one is nine.

    The slider's display is 10-inch, of course, touch-sensitive and with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It works under Windows 7 Professional (!), But in tablet mode the user can use a proprietary shell with quick access to music, video, weather-time-compass widgets, a browser, etc.

    Unlike the Asus Eee Slider, the Samsung netbook has a full 81-button keyboard and - more importantly - a touchpad instead of a trackpint.

    With the release time and the cost of the netbook, everything is inaccurate so far, but according to preliminary intelligence, the new product will go on sale in March and will cost no more than 20 thousand rubles.

    Samsung RF712


    Well, how can one not release a 3D laptop, knowing that competitors already have similar devices?

    The 17-inch Samsung RF712 is not particularly noticeable externally (with the Acer 5745DG, by the way, the same story), but it is crammed with good hardware. Inside the laptop is a Core i7 processor, eight gigabytes of RAM, an AMD 6650 graphics card, two hard drives with a total capacity of 1.5 TB and a BluRay drive. Other goodies include USB 3.0 connectors and SRS Premium 3D sound. The release time of the laptop and its cost is not yet known.
