Samsung unveils new generation of notebooks with slim bezel screen technology

Samsung Electronics, a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, today launched the new Series 3, 300V notebook. The new range of notebooks offers premium design, extensive battery life of up to 7 hours and is available in a choice of vivid colors. 

The new range of Series 3 300V notebooks features the latest 2nd generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processor, Windows 7   Home Premium and a new-generation NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, thus, allowing users to stay connected, socialize and enjoy brilliant entertainment on the go virtually all day long. With Samsung’s unique Fast Start technology, the Series 3 300V wakes up within a few seconds. 

“Our young consumers require a notebook that delivers a high performance and power while at the same time is attractive in its packaging. With its elegant slim bezel display, choice of vivid colors and high-speed performance, the Samsung Series 3 300V is designed to fit the unique demands of students and the younger generation of the Gulf,” said Raj Varma, General Manager – IT Sales Group at Samsung Gulf Electronics. 

Make a big impression with a slim bezel 

Samsung has designed the new notebook with a bezel that is 55-60% slimmer than previous models. The Series 3 300V’s ultra-portable design features an extremely narrow display bezel of 10.3mm on the sides and 14.5mm on the top - slimmer than an average finger. The new notebook is designed with a fashionable, modern style that is accentuated with a high quality finish in a choice of vivid colors (Vital Orange, Raspberry Pink, Alaska Blue, and Mock Black). 

The Series 3 300V includes a high quality, full-size, island-type keyboard that makes it easier to type and reduces typing errors. Its ergonomic, premium-style design features isolated keys with optimized spacing for maximum comfort. Each key has also been extensively tested for durability and reliability 10 million times (equal to 6 years of writing). 

High on performance 

The attractive encasing of the notebook does not over-shadow its performance. With Samsung’s innovative Fast Start technology, the Series 3 300V boots faster. It provides an ‘Instant on’, allowing users to get started within a few seconds of opening the display or pressing the power button. An innovative hybrid sleep mode combines the Fast Start-up of sleep with the stability of hibernation, so users don’t have to wait 30-60 seconds for the notebook to boot. 

With the latest 2nd generation Intel Core i7 (up to Quad Core)/i5/i3* processor, users can fully optimize their computing experience. The notebook also comes with Intel Wireless Display which enables users to connect their notebooks to TVs or monitors in a hasslefree wireless way simply by connecting a WIDI adapter. Additionally, the powerful graphics performance of the new-generation NVIDIA GeForce*² graphics card provide excellent graphic performance, making the notebook ideal for casual gaming, watching High Definition movies and picture editing. 

To achieve the best possible fit with users’ unique mobile computing needs, the 300V offers a choice of either gloss or anti-reflective displays. The gloss display is perfect for games and movies as it ensures that images are brilliantly clear and vivid, while the anti-reflective display provides much better readability, even when your outdoors in sunlight, resulting in less eye strain when working for long stretches. 

Ultra-portability 

Users can, additionally, enjoy extended battery life of up to 7.0 hours*² (4400mAh battery)  on a single charge on the new Samsung Series 3 300V. Samsung's Power Plus intelligent battery charging technology also enables the battery to keep 80% of its original capacity for up to 1,000 recharges – up to 3 times longer than a typical battery which is normally just over 300 cycles. Hence, the 300V is much more economical and environmentally friendly as fewer batteries need to be replaced over the lifecycle. 

The 300V’s lightweight and compact design also means that users can take it virtually anywhere. But as life on the move can be challenging some notebooks can easily become scratched even after a small amount of use. So the 300V’s robust Samsung Duracase casing, with a special scratch-resistant surface, will protect against the risk of everyday bumps and knocks and keep your notebook looking stylish and like new for longer. 

The Samsung Series 3 300V line-up is available at the Samsung stand at GITEX Shopper 2011 as well as across all major retail outlets in the UAE starting at AED 2,899. For more product information and multimedia content, please visit www.samsung.com,
