Series3 300 E7A

Slim bezel, anti-reflective display

The anti-reflective 17.3” HD+ LED display produces images with the sharpest details and boldest colours. Its matt surface has less mirror effect, so you can use it for longer, even outdoors, without your eyes getting tired. And with a slim bezel that's as thin as a finger it’s also much smaller and lighter to carry.

Series3 300 E7A

Anti-fingerprint finish – Quality made to last

Life on the move is challenging, so notebooks can easily become scratched even after a small amount of use. To protect against the risk of everyday bumps and knocks a robust Samsung Duracase casing, with a special scratch-resistant and anti-fingerprint surface, will keep your notebook looking stylish and like new for longer.

Series3 300 E7A

BatteryLife Plus – Anti-aging battery technology

Samsung's intelligent battery charging uses anti-aging technology so the battery keeps 80% of its original capacity for up to 1000 recharges – that’s up to 3x longer than a typical battery, which is normally just over 300 cycles. Making our batteries more economical and environmentally friendly as fewer batteries need to be replaced over the lifecycle.

Fast Start - Instant on technology

Instant on - 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 you don’t have to wait 30 - 60 seconds for the notebook to boot-up.

Optimised Intel processor

Get the right performance for you with the latest 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor technology.

Hybrid graphics

The NVIDIA Optimus graphics card (with up to 1GB memory)* delivers a great visual performance for intensive activities like gaming, but extends battery life by switching to internal Intel graphics for basic applications.

* Factory option.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 17.3" laptop 28 April 2012
By L
Amazon Verified Purchase
I spent around 5 weeks looking at 17" laptops and other options like a PC.

There isn't a massive choice for 17" laptops these days because the companies are more interested in small toys like tablets and ultrabooks where they can make more money. My budget was around 500 because pay any more and you are practically getting ripped off, and pay too little and you get an underpowered laptop.

i had requirements - chiclet keyboard, i5, 17.3". the only other option was the Asus K73E which is ok but not chiclet, has an i3, and all brown colour which is pretty ugly.

this seems the best laptop around for the price, any more and you aren't getting value and too little and you get something too slow.

Go into the audio playback option and properties and turn off SoundAlive, some audio software which makes the sound worse.

It comes with included software, some of it is good, you'll have to spend 5 mins un-installing some junk like norton.

Some reviews said the screen was low quality, my eyes must be bad because it looks great to me. Bright with good colours. most laptop screens are around the same anyway unless you buy a macbook or alienware which cost at least 1.5k+ that have top screens.

The build quality is pretty good, the keyboard is really nice, large and well-spaced. the mouse is also good. it also comes bundled with a recovery disc which is good, some like Acer don't even provide discs any more.

i thought it would be hotter, web browsing, email and youtube and the laptop is very cool and no hot air coming from the fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good spec, but nothing special 26 Mar 2012
By Kiyone
So on the face of it, this machine has a good spec but nothing to make it stand out.

An i5, middle of the range processor, 4GB RAM is standard, if not a bit low on the new laptops that are coming out and a 500GB hard drive is ok, but with HD media people will be looking for more and more storage over the coming years.

So why not get a cheaper machine with a similar spec?

Well, Samsung have always gone for sleek designs, and this is no exception. The anti-fingerprint silver case and rounded edges are very stylish, and being so thin and lightweight is a major bonus on a 17.3" screen laptop as it is one of the few laptops at that size that is still vaguely portable.

The screen obviously is the highlight here, 17.3" HD+ anti reflective display is ridiculously thin and has stunning resolution even in light conditions. There's an HDMI port on the side and Nvidia graphics inside so you can guarantee the viewing experience is top quality.

Some of the other features on the new Samsung range do make it stand out as well. Instant on is a major bonus if you're fed up of waiting 10 minutes every time you switch your laptop on, although reduced start up times are a feature of Windows 7, so any new laptop running that operating system should show an advantage.

Samsung also claim that the battery in this notebook will still have 80% of its orgiinal capacity after 1000 charges. Obviously I haven't been able to test that yet, but it could prove a mahor advantage as replacing batteries can get expensive and it almost essential after a year or 2 when you laptop suddenly starts dying after 20 minutes.

Overall a stylish laptop, as you'd expect from Samsung, and worth the price if you're looking for a good middle of the range laptop with some nice features.

4.0 out of 5 stars So far so good 7 Jun 2012
By Heather
Amazon Verified Purchase
Just purchased this laptop on Amazon, quick delivery and good packaging. Laptop was easy to set up and is so quiet that I thought it wasn't working to start with, takes some getting used to the lack of fan noise. It's been a pleasure to use so far, the display is clear and sharp and the sound is good which is great for skyping.
