“The Notebook 7 spin is a flexible, powerfully entertaining multimedia laptop that echoes the incredible design and power of our existing award winning Notebook line,” said Gary Riding, senior vice president, Product Marketing at Samsung Electronics America. “Consumers are using PCs for everything from working on the go to streaming entertainment around the home, and with the Notebook 7 spin, we’ve built a multimedia laptop that is ready for today and built for tomorrow. It has the unique ability to upgrade by adding an SSD to cut down on load times while also adding storage, as well as the ability to upgrade the RAM, enabling consumers to accomplish more at once.”
Robust Multimedia Offerings
The Notebook 7 spin is not just a laptop – it’s a user’s entertainment go-to for movies, games, and all the web surfing you want. It is built with a Full HD touch screen with Video HDR mode, which when turned on can make the content sharper, colors more vivid and textures truly pop. Video HDR mode instantly optimizes the video experience, so that every little detail comes to life, drawing users in to all the action.
With a 6th generation Intel® Core™ i5 or i7 processor, an impressive 1 Terabyte hard drive, and upgradable RAM and SSD options, users can seamlessly handle everything they need to accomplish while cutting down on load times so they can do more at once.
Enhanced Productivity and Versatility
Simplifying life for consumers is key, especially in today’s busy world. Utilizing the fast charging functionality, the Notebook 7 spin is engineered to accomplish more while being tethered less. With just 20 minutes of charging, battery life is extended up to two hours. In just 90 minutes, the 15.6-inch notebook will be fully powered, while the 13.3-inch reaches a full charge in 100 minutes.**
The Notebook 7 spin has a 360 degree touch display that offers users incredible viewing angles. Utilizing Continuum, the PC can be transformed into three adaptive modes: use it as a notebook to touch and type as you connect with friends, stand it up to enjoy the latest movie in tent mode, or switch to tablet mode to surf the web.
Additionally, Samsung architected an auto backlit keyboard, allowing for comfortable typing in low light conditions. The UL approved keyboard is ergonomic and convenient, with useful hotkeys that give instant access to functions most often used.
