The high-performance notebook PC is powered by a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor and combined with a high-end gaming AMD RadeonTM HD graphics card as well as an 8GB ExpressCacheTM system to deliver incredible gaming speeds. The notebook PC guarantees rich visual imagery through its 3D 17.3' display with full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. Additionally, the Series 7 GAMER comes equipped with the latest 3D surround sound for an immersive experience. The Samsung Series 7 GAMER features four different optimisation modes for ultimate versatility. In addition to the main 'Gaming' mode, it includes a 'Balanced' mode for everyday use, 'Library' mode for quiet surroundings, and 'Green' mode for maximum battery performance. The modes can easily be switched using the Mode Dial. 'With the Series 7 GAMER we have delivered a notebook that can compete with a desktop PC, and that sets the benchmark for gaming notebooks,' said Damian Cusick, General Manager, Computing, Samsung UK and Ireland. 'The Series 7 is packed with features that specifically meet the demands of serious gamers, and with its four optimisation modes, can deliver optimum performance for a wide variety of different activities, at the turn of a dial.' Maximised gaming experience The four performance settings accommodate different situations, enabling a range of experiences. When in 'Gaming' mode, for example, the CPU performance is maximised, turbo cooling system operated to 100% fan speed and touch pad automatically turned off to avoid any disturbances while in action. The notebook PC also features a high quality gaming keyboard with a desktop layout, including ergonomic u-shaped key caps, a 2.7mm keystroke and separated arrow keys to provide more precise control. Additionally, the keyboard is backlit in white in dark environments, and blue in 'Gaming' mode with the main gaming keys highlighted in red and the Windows key disabled. Incredible performance and speed The powerful Intel Core i7 Quad Core processor delivers incredible performance for the most demanding applications and games. It dynamically allocates processing power where it is needed most using intelligent Turbo Boost technology. This frees up the processing power allocated to applications that are not in use, and applies this wherever it is required. The processor is complemented by the innovative ExpressCache technology that provides an extra 8GB of flash memory on the motherboard. By acting as an ultra fast HDD with intelligent, automatic caching, it delivers an incredible gaming experience. It also significantly improves startup, application launch, internet loading and information access speeds, while maintaining the safety and integrity of data through its automatic save feature. It takes 25% less time to boot up and start Internet Explorer up to 2-3 times faster than models without the ExpressCacheTM feature. Ultimate visual experience The Series 7 GAMER is equipped with the most powerful graphics card currently available - the AMD RadeonTM HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5. Its new and advanced architecture ensures unprecedented video quality and supercharged performance. With full support for DirectX 11 it delivers visually impressive games, as well as improved performance when viewing websites and using everyday applications.
