Samsung Series 7 Chronos 700Z review

We can safely say that in 2011, PC manufacturers have stepped up to the mark when it comes to design. Although Apple has had a fairly long headstart, we've seen more head-turning design in the Windows market thanalmost any other time, and not just at...

Samsung Series 7 Chronos review

The Samsung Series 7 'Chronos' is quite the killer portable powerhouse we were expecting but it is a great multi-media buy

Multi-media performance ; Portability and battery life ; Future-proofed

Lacks va-va-voom ; Some usability issues ; Touchpad

The Series 7 Chronos isn’t as desirable as competitors such as the Dell XPS 15z, and we were hoping for some of the sexy style of the Series 9. However, if you need a portable entertainment machine that can run anything you throw at it, the Chronos is...

Samsung Series 7 Chronos review

An exciting name for a laptop, but can it compete with the new ultrabook herd?

Excellent erformance ; Comfortable backlit keyboard ; Shar, glare-free dislay ; Solid lid ; Long-lasting battery

Wrist-slicing almrest ; Annoying touchad ; Somehow underwhelming

If you need a portable machine to entertain you on the move, which won't be out of date any time soon, the Samsung Series 7 Chronos is well worth considering. Just don't expect great beauty.

Samsung Series 7 Chronos

A fast and good-looking laptop, but with some flaws

Looks stylish; good battery life; excellent screen; powerful

but expensive; plastic finish on inside

A good looking laptop with a good screen, but it's a little overpriced so think carefully about what you want before buying

Samsung Series 7 Chronos review

The Samsung Series 7 Chronos is a long-lasting 15in laptop with more than a few nods to the Apple MacBook Pro range.

With the Series 7 Chronos, Samsung has turned its talents to making a commoditised version of the Apple MacBook Pro. It has much of the same technology inside, and borrows heavily in certain design cues, but using cheaper materials to allow a lower...

Samsung Series 7 Chronos Review

The screen could be better, but good looks and raw horsepower are enough to ensure the Samsung Series 7 Chronos triumphs

The Samsung Series 7 Chronos – or NP700Z5A, to give it its full name – is ridiculously thin for a 15in laptop. It looks so good you won’t immediately notice the wrist rest and base are plastic. That's

Samsung Series 7 Chronos review

Given the recent furore over Samsung's tablets apparently aping Apple's, it's hardly a surprise that the company's new Series 7 Chronos laptop looks so similar to a Apple MacBook Pro 15in. Its slim metallic chassis is certainly reminiscent of Apple's...

The design might not be particularly original, but the Chronos Series 7 has fantastic performance for an incredible price

Samsung Series 7 Chronos Laptop Review

We've got the Samsung Series 7 Chronos laptop to review today. It's a very high-spec 15-inch laptop that has the potential to match the performance of the Apple MacBook Pro. Thanks to the inclusion of a 2.2GHz Intel Core i7 quad-core processor and an...

The underside of the Series 7 Chronos looks very clean with there being no battery compartment or unnecessary lines to spoil the overall design. And with there being no battery compartment, it appears that Samsung have been reading the “Apple Rules of...

Review: Samsung Series 7 Chronos

Samsung takes on Apple's MacBook Pro with a similarly specced 15-inch laptop that costs S$500 less.

Thin screen bezel; sleek and attractive metal chassis; impressive battery life; crisp backlit keyboard; plenty of processing power

Multitouch clickpad not as responsive as MacBook Pro; lacks Blu-ray and full-HD screen

The Samsung Series 7 Chronos is Samsung's take on the high-end15-inch laptop. It's expensive, but no more so than similar premiumalternatives from Sony, Dell, and Apple. Excellent battery life andplenty of features make it worth the investment,...
