The Samsung Series 7 Chronos 770Z5E-S01DE is an immediate improvement over its predecessors with a rather hefty price tag at about $1500 (Approx. £965). The chassis has premium feels and looks, while the input devices are generally outstanding. Despite the absence of optical drive, users should still be glad to get two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, full-sized VGA port, HDMI output, RJ-45 LAN port and Kensington lock socket.
The acceptable keyboard layout is combined with well-defined pressure point and generous palm rest, which should appeal to serious typists. With full HD resolution, the matte 15.6” display is not only great for video playback, but also gaming. With brightness level at the center of the display reaching 300cd/m2, the Samsung Series 7 Chronos 770Z5E-S01DE is generally usable outdoors.
Objects on the screen are clearly visible, even when viewed under strong light and clear sky. Other important hardware details are Intel Core i7 3635QM clocked between 2.6 to 3.4GHz, 8GB of DDR3 1600MHz system RAM, 1TB of 2.5” HDD and AMD Radeon HD 8870M dedicated GPU.
