The main QWERTY keys are well spaced and offer an excellent action, which feels precise. Given the space available there are few compromises in terms of key size.

Keyboard and touchpadĪ backlit island-style keyboard spans the width of the deck and a lot has been crammed in, as a full numberpad sits on the right-hand side. The sculpting around the base gives the illusion of slimness when sitting on a desk or table, and clever touches, like a drop-down section on the Ethernet port, have let Samsung stick to smart lines throughout. The body is plastic, as is the underside, but it feels solid enough and has been considerately designed, so it looks good from all sides. The wrist rest gives you plenty of space, so as a “latptop”, it’s a comfortable machine to use. The deck of the 700Z sees the keyboard sitting in a slight recess, which stops the keys protruding above the wrist rest, which should mean they don’t touch the display when you close the lid. Strength comes thanks to the metal backing, which helps give a premium finish and keep the 700Z mercifully free from fingerprints. The result is that you get plenty of display for your money, and a bezel slimmed down to let the screen out. It weighs 2.29kg, which isn’t too heavy, but obviously isn’t designed to compete with something like the Samsung Series 9 on the portability front. It measures 362.1 x 238.5 and sits at 23.9mm deep. The Chronos features a 15.6-inch display, which is impressive given the size of the chassis.

That’s no bad thing in our book because we love the MacBook Pro and it certainly makes the 700Z look good, while remaining functional, even if Samsung will find it hard to escape the copycat gibes. The cutout on the leading-edge to let you open the lid is identical, both in size and design. There are a number of points that bring Apple’s notebook to mind, from the drop-down hinge, to the large trackpad to the keyboard. We’ll get the MacBook Pro likeness out of the way now. But this isn’t an Ultrabook, fighting it out in the thin and light stakes, but a fully-fledged notebook, packing in the power, but without sacrificing portability and design.

Samsung has been in the thick of it and the Series 7 Chronos, or 700Z, is no exception. Although Apple has had a fairly long headstart, we’ve seen more head-turning design in the Windows market thanalmost any other time, and not just at the high-end either.

(Pocket-lint) - We can safely say that in 2011, PC manufacturers have stepped up to the mark when it comes to design.
