SAMSUNG NP300E4C NP300E5C Series laptop review

The SAMSUNG 300E5C configuration AMD's next-generation entry-level discrete graphics HD 7550M discrete graphics view it 3Dmark VANTAGE GPU score of 15719, this card's gaming performance is more limited and lower-middle level in the current mainstream notebook, only available in lower quality running under the "mission", "Diablo 3" and other mainstream 3D games. 1366 × 768 resolution, HD7550M basic can run in the low screen set "Call of Duty 8", "dust 3" and other mainstream 3D games, but when we will screen settings to enhance the high level, HD7550M up and running on more difficult.

The long endurance super pole several basic characteristics of one of the provisions of Intel ultra-pole of this MobileMark 2007 battery life test must be more than five hours. This test SAMSUNG 300E5C in the test run of 402 minutes (6 hours 42 minutes), more than Intel's super pole of this battery usage time. Slim body with discrete graphics, which allows us to control the SAMSUNG 300E5C heat there are some concerns, for which we use the AIDA64 their half-hour pager test, and then photographed using infrared thermal imager is as follows two 300E5C body surface of the heat map, which color is more red to explain here the higher the temperature, the more blue then the lower the temperature.

There is no doubt that the discrete graphics does make the high the SAMSUNG 300E5C body surface part of the regional temperature and the left of the keyboard and the left side of the bottom of the fuselage near the cooling holes in a large area of ​​heat accumulation, here the maximum temperature of 43.6 ℃ and 52.5 ℃. From the distribution of the heat, the the the SAMSUNG 300E5C keyboard surface is only the left side of the regional presence of heat accumulation, the palm rests and the right side of the keyboard area is relatively cool, use the orange area on the left will have a warm feeling when touched. Due to set the cooling holes in the fuselage underside, it is recommended that you do not put a soft surface to avoid clogging the cooling holes.

14-inch screen SAMSUNG 300E5C million selling price 13-inch ultra-extreme as the ultimate slim body, but its 21mm thickness and 1.7kg weight or than the ordinary 14-inch notebook thin many, with better mobile portability. At the same time, low-power i5 processors, 32GBSSD +500 GB mechanical hard drive and discrete graphics HD7550M let the 300E5C performance level of a mainstream notebook, fully meet the needs of the everyday applications of notebook performance.

In addition, the backlit keyboard and the USB3.0 interface with the function of critical charge brought us a more convenient user experience. But the SAMSUNG 300E5C 6499 yuan official offer with the same configuration of ultra-pole in this slightly higher than its price in the market can be reduced to 800 ~ $ 900 then it is quite worthy of recommendation.

SAMSUNG 'is divided into NP and NT two sub-series this year, this evaluation will be 15.6 inches in the NP series 300E5C with 9cell SAMSUNG 300E5C Battery, the NP series and the EliteBook belong to the same professional business of the terms of the overall product design, but the former location slightly lower, NP series of factory test conditions than EliteBook harsh, and not mil std 810g military standard test.


For a pure lineage, business computer, if you use less than the instructions on the publicity of complex functions, excellent details of the experience is worth the price. ThinkPad or Dell Latitude, SAMSUNG series, or review today are commercial representative of the notebook, the notebook has a common characteristic, that is a good experience.


Overall, the SAMSUNG 300E5C has a very good experience, excellent body material, in particular, is full of brushed aluminum palm rest design gives the feeling of texture, and excellent keyboard and touchpad experience, excellent thermal design , including the screen axis damping, the design of the matte screen is very friendly for users, so a notebook about 6000 yuan, has not only suitable for on business users, the same for ordinary consumers.

In addition there is mention the SAMSUNG 300E5C Business Design, a lot of security measures can not be in the evaluation of embodied, in particular, some software, 3D hard disk protection system and so on, these thoughtful design to hardware performance as the main selling point SAMSUNG 300E5C a high degree of applicability, but careful design is often ordinary users can not be recognized, say that it is a pity.

Good gaming experience, not only need a discrete graphics, audio and video performance also need the support of the screen and sound system, the NP300E5C series uses a 15.6-inch screen, coupled with the Altec Lansing certified speakers, performance in this area is still worth the wait.

The SAMSUNG NP300E5C brown and black color scheme, giving a quiet sense of fashion, no exaggeration of the design elements on the shell suit Check the top cover with brushed metal palm rest with each other. The whole smooth and neat, shows a simple and pure beauty

The NP300E5C 15.6-in wide-screen design with 7800mAh SAMSUNG NP300E5C battery, the standard resolution of 1366 × 768, and there is no glare matte screen, the actual effect of law-abiding, and not a particular draw, I believe that the 15.6-inch notebook product, using the 1600 × 900 resolution is more appropriate. Performance in games and movies, 15.6-inch large-size display to be more competitive at the same time NP300E5C screen border is only 1.3cm, visual subjects more prominent, experience also much better.

To enter the BIOS, we found the SAMSUNG NP series set for the whole Chinese display is divided into files, security, and system configuration of three parts, each one has the Chinese prompted for the BIOS settings are not very familiar user easy to set a password on / off to quick start, change the Startup Items sequence of operations. We see in the security of an Anti Thief intelligent anti-theft options, instructions 300E4C has the latest v-Pro, Intel vPro technology. HP ProtectTools Security Manager, SAMSUNG 300E4C used in terms of security can provide a range of solutions, from hardware to software, fingerprint recognition, smart card and password, many aspects of the notebook's hard drive and some important information is encrypted, need to be set in advance before use.

Provide a triple level of security settings, first is to provide enhanced authentication to protect the user's account Drive Encrytion can encrypt the hard disk, Windows login, Pro-Boot Security, hardware-based protection before starting to the user's operating system. HP Power Assistant is a function of software for the electricity consumption statistics, you can set the program, including weekly plans to use power to help business users to calculate costs, and then through the actual consumption, this feature can help companies more conserve resources and enhance their competitiveness. 

SAMSUNG NP300E4C little keyboard the right heat, the high temperature region is concentrated in the left palm care position, the maximum temperature of 41.7 ° C, the manpower feels a warm feeling. As for the bottom of the fuselage, the higher temperature region is concentrated near the cooling holes on the left, here the highest temperature reached 45.7 ° C, it is recommended to add a cooling fan in a notebook on the table, does not recommend a long time on the legs or soft objects.

We use the software CINEBENCH R10 its performance was evaluated, the software on a single processor and multi-core performance gives intuitive score, Fengyun Cool Core i5-3210M processor to complete the entire contents, and ultimately the single The core of 5218 points, multi-core 11089 points, the performance is good.

As we mentioned the SAMSUNG NP300E4C, "big butt", it is equipped with 11.1V/97Wh lithium SAMSUNG NP300E4C Battery, which is 50% screen brightness, running 310 minutes (5 hours and 10 minutes in the office mode Mobilemark 2007 ), the performance is not satisfactory. As a larger capacity battery, its life is only average and the general business of the flat, with a little live up to its "unique" design, not only that, it is therefore to increase the body weight and body thickness, some outweigh the benefits.
