Samsung 700Z5C is the successor of 700Z5A, with more powerful hardware, matte screen, backlit keyboard, appealing aluminum design and HD (1600 x 900) resolution. The display delivers a great compromise between keeping the content sharp and large. However, owners may quickly notice the dull colors and poor viewing angles.
Despite the huge 15.6” display, the unit feels as handy as a 14” model. The upper part of the laptop has elegant, brushed aluminum design. The chiclet keyboard offers keys with nice grip and crisp feedback to each press. The keyboard backlight has 8 levels, which can be adjusted according to requirements.
The 2.3GHz Intel Core i7-3615QM processor is considered an entry-level model in the Core i7 family, but it still delivers respectable performance level for daily usages. The Nvidia GeForce GT 640M is a worthy successor to the popular GT 540M model and it delivers acceptable gaming experience. Latest titles, such as Hitman: Absolution hits 23fps at high detail settings.
