The Series 7 Chronos offers desktop-PC performance—plus a top-notch keyboard, speaker system, and 17.3-inch display—in a stylishly slim 6.3-pound notebook. Our gripes are minor: The battery is sealed-in, and there's no Blu-ray drive....

When you need a full-strength laptop packed with power and style, Samsung’s Chronos 7 may be just the ticket – a notebook that feels smaller and more powerful than a typical 15-incher. Unlike the stripped-down, thin light notebooks coming...

With the Series 7 Chronos, Samsung has turned its talents to making a commoditised version of the Apple MacBook Pro. It has much of the same technology inside, and borrows heavily in certain design cues, but using cheaper materials to allow a lower...
