Cyber Power Xplorer X7-7300 is based on the Clevo chassis B7130 and the output of a typical game focuses on more general purpose desktop replacement laptop. In its basic configuration is equipped with an Intel Core i5 560M dual-core processor, which offers remarkable performance. For those who demand speed a bit ‘more, the Core i7 upgrade is available, but only a dual core or quad-core model. It is combined with the higher speed 4GB of DDR3 1333 MHz, which allows him handle most of the benefits is not a problem.

based storage features Xplorer X7-7300 are not quite level when it is a desktop replacement system. It has a capacity of 320 GB hard drive relatively low, which usually found in a budget laptop class. On the other hand, becomes more modest in 5400 affecting performancet. That comes with a dual layer DVD for playback or recording CDs and DVDs. If this is not enough, CyberPower offers a wide range of improvements up to 750 GB disk or a wide range of SSDs. The system can even be equipped with Blu-ray, even if it is an expensive upgrade.

Since CyberPower specializes in gaming systems, they tend to offer laptops with high-resolution displays and Xplorer X7-7300 is no different. The 17-inch screen 0.3 has a resolution of 1920×1080 with all video support 1080p. This is particularly interesting because many 17-inch notebooks top out with a resolution of 1600×900. Above is a graphics driver Direct X 11 compatible NVIDIA GeForce 425 graphics processor with 1 GB of memory. It is more an entry level graphics processor that is suitable for HD media than games. It will not be able to run games at full resolution panel or with filters, but it could work for casual games at lower resolutions and details. The laptop does not use NVIDIA Optimus, switching between dedicated and integrated graphics to save battery power.

Design Xplorer X7-7300 could be best described as minimalist. It is a black metal is very low in relation to perspectives, patterns or colors. The keyboard uses individual key design, which is very popular. Although there is plenty of space, and it is only a partial keypad instead of the full version. Trackpad is large and spacious. Probably the best part is that it uses a different right and left buttons instead of the button bar that makes it much easier to use.

Like most laptops, using Xplorer X7-7300 a six-stack with a rating of 48.8WHr. This is a fairly standard size battery that provides the message and not the battery life with NVIDIA sensational even Optimus technology. Reading tests DVD, the laptop managed to run for about an hour and 45 minutes before going into standby mode. No major packs battery capacity is available.

Review:

RF710-S02 marks Samsung’s first entry of the company in the notebook market of 17 inches taller and does so with a good dose of performance thanks to quad-core processor Intel Core i7-720QM. This allows the system to an excellent performance when multitasking or doing intensive tasks like video editing table. The disadvantage is that it will be delayed dual-core processors in wireless applications. The 4 GB of DDR3 memory to help run smoothly in most conditions.

RF720-S02 features Samsung Storage is fairly good. It comes with a disc with a capacity exceeding 640 GB, which offers 30 percent more than the average bear. Samsung is one company that disk partitions and data areas that can be a bit ‘annoying prompts the user to run the division, either directly or change Windows settings to use them properly. The drive is not spinning at 5400rpm slower pace, which does not affect performance slightly. They do not include a Blu-ray compatible can play movies in high definition. It can also play or record CDs and DVDs.

With features Blu-ray is a bit disappointing Samsung decided to use a 17.3-inch screen with a native resolution of 1600×900, who lives in full support 1080p video. The panel itself provides a good dose of color and brightness. The graphics are driven by an old Direct X 10 graphics processor NVIDIA GeForce 330M. It is fine for handling HD video playback, but its limited performance means it is less suitable for those who also want to play on the system. This would curtail the game more casual games or lower resolutions and detail settings.

A more surprising RF710 Samsung S02 is the new super-speed USB 3.0 ports. This is not officially supported by Intel chipset and therefore has not done in many laptops. This is very useful for future trials of the notebook, as it has no ExpressCard slot like many other consumer notebook class. It is also useful for high-speed external storage because there is no eSATA port.

The keyboard RF710-S02 uses isolated keyboard design that is standard on most laptops. It is comfortable and precise, but the function keys half-size at the top of the keyboard can be problematic at times. He does have a full-size keyboard and numeric. The trackpad is a nice size large and is equipped with two different buttons, as opposed to the button bar that is on many new laptops.

To keep weight under six and a half pounds, Samsung has decided to use a relatively small number six battery. With all the high performance features in the system, means less time walking, but this is becoming more common in this size laptop. In reading tests DVD, the laptop was able to run from one to three quarters of an hour before entering standby. Blu-ray will reduce this time due to more intensive needs. most typical use would yield about two and a half.

Bottom Line:

Samsung RF710-S02 is a good offer for those looking for in a laptop performaning solid 17-inch HD media features, until you’re trying to make 3D games. The system is one of the lightest 17-inch notebooks on the market, which makes it very portable media platform. It also has USB 3.0 ports, which is quite unique. It would have been nice to see Samung able to use 1080p LCD, but probably will not be a problem in some of the buyer.
