Given the current furore over Samsung's tablets apparently aping Apple's, it is scarcely a surprise that the company's fresh Series 7 Chronos laptop appearance so same to a Apple MacBook professional 15”. Its slim metallic chassis is surely reminiscent of Apple’s laptop, right down to the backlit keyboard and port-loading optical drive.


Underneath the admittedly beautiful outer, there is a excellent quantity of high function hardware, adding a quad-core Intel processor, 8GB of RAM and a devoted graphics board. The i7-2675QM functions at a respectable 2.2GHz, but can Turbo Boost up to an incredibly quick 3.1GHz for maximum function.

This assisted it achieve over 5 and a half hours away from the chief in our light-usage try – this may not be market leading, but it is even more than sufficient to acquire some function finish when on the move.
