Samsung RF712 3D Laptop Review And Price

The new notebook Samsung RF712 awaited by gamers and movie, the notebook has a Samsung 17-inch stereoscopic display and excellent hardware equipment. 3D is a technology that is slowly, but steadily, penetrating deeper and deeper in the entertainment industry and, after trying the experience of a video game or a movie in 3D, are certainly a few that came back. Consequently, major companies have started to offer high-end notebooks on the market with 3D screens and a budget hardware capable of running smoothly multimedia content. Among these brands could not fail to Samsung, the Korean big house, cutting-edge hi-tech.

Here is the new Samsung RF712 notebook, launched the first domestic Korean and finally now available in Italy. Obviously its main feature is the display. This is a 17.3-inch 16:9 aspect ratio LED backlit, Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels). The display also, thanks to Samsung Super Bright Plus technology, has a high luminance of about 400 nits, and offers support for 3D in synergy with polarized glasses included in the bundle. Obviously, however, a 3D display is not enough to play in this mode it is necessary to have a powerful hardware, because such calculations to be played by the graphics card to display a title in 3D are almost twice the two-dimensional version.
We find then a quad core Intel Core i7 2630QM with clock rate of 2.00 GHz (2.9 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost) and 6 MB of L3 cache, a number of fast DDR3 1333 MHz RAM, expandable to 8 GB and a video card AMD Mobility Radeon dedicated HD6650M with 2GB of DDR3. The latter has 400 unified pipelines, frequency of 600 MHz for core and shader units and 900 MHz for the memory, and support for DirectX 11 API, Shader Model 5.0, OpenGL 4.1, 1.1 and OpenCL DirectCompute 11. The video processor is integrated UVD 2.2 and not 3, because the core is actually a renamed version of what already equipping the Radeon HD 5650. In any case, it is perfectly capable of hardware decoding a compressed video in all formats, including H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2.
To complete the budget takes care of a mass storage up to 1.5 TB (two hard drives of 750 GB each, but not in RAID), Blu-ray, 1.3 Mpixel webcam and a number of I / O such as VGA, HDMI , 2 USB 3.0, and a multicard reader 4-in-1 (SD, SDHC, SDXC, MMC). For networking are obviously 10/100/1000 Gigabit LAN and WiFi 802.11n, while the Bluetooth version 3.0 + HS, is optional. Samsung RF712 3D technology also has Fast Start for fast start-up of the machine and PowerPlus, for the power management system for energy savings.
As a multimedia laptop then the audio could not be cured and in fact we find support for SRS Labs’ 3D technology, capable of recreating three-dimensional sound effects also from stereo audio sources. The Samsung RF712, which measures 415.8 x 276.1 x 32.3 mm and weighs 2.9 pounds, will be available from late May at a price of 1499 Euros.
