Gaming has become a very lucrative market. With many hardware manufacturers realising that they need to focus more on this growing segment of very loyal users.

At CES 2017, Samsung unveiled their foray into the gaming market with the release of the Samsung Notebook Odyssey.

Introducing the Samsung Notebook Odyssey

“The Samsung Notebook Odyssey was designed specifically with gamers in mind. It is equipped with exclusive features to offer users one of the best gaming notebooks available on the market,” said YoungGyoo Choi, Senior Vice President of the PC Business Team, Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics. “Today, serious and even casual gamers seek computing devices that not only pack power for intense graphics-rich games, but also feature a stylish and portable design. We’re excited to expand our PC portfolio with a premium gaming solution featuring refinements in design, cutting-edge technology, and enhanced gaming usability.”

Features

The Samsung Notebook Odyssey includes advanced technology, such as the HexaFlow Vent. This is an advanced cooling and ventilation system that helps the device remain cool. You can also open the HexaFlow Vent, which is located on the bottom panel of the device, to upgrade the storage and memory.
The Odyssey is powered by a 7th Generation Intel Core i7 processor (Quad Core 45W) and has an immersive and dynamic cinema-quality HDR video experience.
 
Not only does the device have a high-performing engine, the Samsung Notebook Odyssey 17.3-inch has a backlight that goes up to 300 nits (280 nits on 15.6-inch) in brightness for crystal clear images. It also includes an anti-glare surface treatment to minimize reflection, allowing you to focus on your next move without distractions.
The Samsung Notebook Odyssey’s keyboard includes features such as ergonomically curved keycaps. These include 0.5mm volcano keycaps on the 17.3-inch, 0.3mm crater keycaps, and backlit WASD keys to provide users with optimal interactions on the 15.6-inch. For personalisation and easy access to crucial keys, you can also choose the backlit color of individual keycaps on the Samsung Notebook Odyssey 17.3-inch.
