Samsung QX412-S01DE: Powerful Sandy Bridge processor and exemplary ergonomics.Dell Vostro 1310 battery Samsung's 13.3-incher QX310 managed a solid B-grade with 84 percent in our review from December 2010. Equipped with an i5-460M (NP-QX310-S02DE) CPU along with the decrepit DirectX-10 Geforce 310M (Optimus) graphics, very good performance was possible (only not for gaming). Dell Vostro 1510 battery
Word that the Sandy-Bridge mobile processors were soon to arrive likely prevented some buyers from a quick purchase. Standing now at the starting line is its quasi-successor, the 14" QX412, which imitates it visually and seeks to iron out many of its little sister's shortcomings. Dell Inspiron 1545 battery
Has Samsung done away with the overly-dark display of the QX310? Is the absence of USB 3.0 a thing of the past? Does the keyboard offer better feedback? Find out the answers to all of these questions in this review.dell xps m1530 battery
Look and feel: metallic, matte & coolNot much has actually changed:dell vostro 1700 battery The 13.3-incher (QX310 and 14-incher QX412) are as alike as two peas in a pod. But, not entirely; our current tester has an anthracite-coloured lid, though the material is identical. The matte or lustrous surfaces are suitable for the work place whilst still being upscale.

The QX412 is no lightweight with its 2,719 grams plus 361 gram power pack. The integrated accumulator with 65 watt hours makes up a large part of the weight. This is only removable by completely dismantling the notebook. dell latitude e4300 battery
The hinges hold the lid tautly and don't allow it to teeter. The maximum opening angle of around 135 degrees is enough for use on ones lap. When opening the taught hinges, the base unit remains set on the table due to its heavy weight (battery), meaning then that only one hand is needed. dell latitude e5500 battery
However, with two hands we were able to twist the base unit significantly. Nothing has improved here when compared to the 13.3-incher. The lower, homogeneous surfaces are less stable than they might seems. dell xps m1730 battery
Applying pressure to the optical driver and on the service flap cause it to dent significantly. Under the flap is the 2.5" hard drive and the DDR3 RAM-module (one plug, 2 GB soldered securely). dell studio 1737 battery
The palms rest and touchpad are stable. It takes a great deal of force above the optical driver to provoke any give. Hands rest on the wide and always cool surfaces and don't leave any fingerprints. But such do tend to stick to the black lid. dell latitude e5400 battery
Hidden: HDMI & 2 x USB 3.0There are only three USB ports on the QX412, though two of those are the 3.0 type. Fast external hard drives can be connected here, but of course "old" USB 2.0 devices can be hooked up as well. dell inspiron e1505 battery
They, together with the HDMI, are situated to the right under the flap. E-SATA and ExpressCard34/54 didn't manage to find a spot due to the limited space availability. dell latitude e6500 battery
The positioning counteracts cable-chaos on a desk. The bulkiest cable (HDMI, VGA, Ethernet) are found far back and to the left. There isn't a docking port on the QX412. If necessary, there is a USB-port replicator option which is also available with Ethernet, VGA- and an HDMI-port. Dell inspiron 1300 battery
The Fast Start technology minimizes the waiting times when loading the system to just a few seconds.Dell vostro 1400 battery Samsung makes full use of the sleep mode for this. Within the wink of an eye, the notebook wakes up from standby and shows us the last status of the desktop (at most, two seconds). The QX412 must remain connected to a power source in standby mode (just like any other device). But due to the integrated battery, that may seem difficult. Dell inspiron 1420 battery
In addition to WLAN-Draft-N (Broadcom 802.11n),dell studio 1535 battery the QX412 houses further radio technologies like Bluetooth 3.0+HS. The Realtek Gigabit Ethernet controller can transfer data to the main network with the utmost speed. An integrated 3G-module for mobile internet access would have been the jewel in the crown and would have fit within the 1,000 Euro price range. Dell inspiron 1521 battery
