Samsung has come up with two new laptop devices which it has named Notebook 7 and Notebook 7 Force. The laptops, however, do not break any new grounds with its looks. On the contrary, the laptops could well be mistaken as the MacBook Pro given its similarity with the Apple device, which runs down to even the indentation just in front of the trackpad which makes lifting the display easier.
Then there are 13 and 15-inch models that are identical among themselves too, something that applies to the internal build of the two laptop devices as well. Among the common bits that applies to both the PC includes an 8th gen Intel Core CPU along with a full HD display.
A 720p HD camera and a dual-array mic is also common across the range, as is a backlit keyboard with a dedicated key for fingerprint scanning. A Dolby Atmos-enabled stereo speaker too applies to all the models. All models support a max of up to 512 GB SSD memory though advanced models have an extra SSD expansion slot.
