Are you interested in hearing the details of Gaming Mode when it comes to the on-the go gaming marketed Samsung Gamer Notebook Series 7, which the company revealed at CES 2012? Of course you are.
The laptop itself comes with a handful of preset modes that you change via a dial positioned on the side. As a quick overview, Balanced and Eco Mode focus on laptop battery life and general computing needs, and the Library Mode makes sure the Barnes & Noble Reading Club won’t interrupted by your fan or even your speakers. Unfortunately, you’ll have to noise proof your mouth on your own.
That brings us to Gaming Mode. Setting your Samsung Series 7 to this mode will optimize the CPU for gaming and jack up the fan speeds to keep it as cool as a cucumber on the other side of the pillow. My favorite perks are the auto deactivating of the trackpad area and the backlighting color shift of the WASD keys that turn from blue to a distinctly different red. The CES unit contained a 17.3″ SuperBright 400nit FHD 3D LED Display, 2nd generation Core i7 processor, 2GB Radeon graphics card, 2.0 megapixel Webcam, Blu-ray support, and a kick-ass 4 watts Stereo Speaker subWoofer.
Performance was impressive, especially for the early estimated starting price point of $1,800. You can expect to see this in a store near you (and eventually on a desk near me) later this year.
