Samsung Series 7 NP700Z5B-W01UB Chronos Laptop Up for Pre-Orders

On 09/27/2011

The Samsung Series 7 NP700Z5B-W01UB is the first laptop from the new Chronos series in the US.

Samsung Series 7 NP700Z5B-W01UB

Available for pre-order now at Best Buy, the aluminum notebook with chiclet backlight keyboard packs a 15.6″ 1600×900 anti-glare display into a smaller than standard chassis size of common 14″ laptops, thanks to a very thin LCD bezel. The Series 7 NP700Z5B-W01UB comes with the new Core i7-2675QM quad-core 2.2GHz processor and AMD’s “Xeymour” 512MB dedicated graphics, according to Best Buy. Xeymour is actually a codename for Radeon HD 6000M video cards and you can also expect that the Series 7 includes AMD-branded switchable GPU solution, as it was announced at the official product launch.

The laptop has 8GB of on-board memory, allowing faster system boot and wake up, as well as 6GB of RAM, a 750GB hard drive, a slot-load DVD burner, and 4G WiMAX mobile broadband.

The Samsung Series 7 NP700Z5B-W01UB is priced at $880.

Samsung is also expected to release 14″ and 15″ versions of the notebook.

    Is that keyboard cramped a lot? I mean, a numeric pad on a 14″ chassis is rare, if there’s such laptop at all.

      There isn’t a numeric pad on the 14″. The Numeric Pad is on the 15 inch chassis with a 15.6 inch screen.

      There is the 13inch with the 14 screen
      There is the 14ihch with the 15 screen
      Then there is the 15inch with the 15.6 screen and numeric pad.

        Thanks for the comment TheOne. I’ve corrected the post based on your explanation. I have omitted the fact that Samsung actually says the Series 7 “enables users to experience UP TO an extra inch of viewing”.

    Is the keyboard back-lit on this one?
