While all eyes were on Apple for its WWDC keynote, Samsung quietly unveiled new laptops called the Notebook 7. For those who don’t know, Samsung also creates notebooks but they aren’t that popular. The new models might pique the interest of consumers though, because they are greatly inspired by the design of Apple’s MacBook Pro.

Like most laptops today, Samsung’s new Notebook 7 series will come in 13- and 15-inch versions with 1080p screens. Design-wise, it has a close resemblance to the MacBook Pro with its diamond-cut edges, large trackpad, and even the font used on the keyboard. The default wallpaper and wide indentation into the metal chassis also seem very familiar.

However, the Notebook 7 has plenty of ports unlike any of the current MacBooks. It features two USB 3.0, a USB-C, HDMI, and a microSD card slot. Users don’t have to live the dongle life with Samsung’s laptops.

Pricing starts at US$ 1,000 and they’ll be available in the US by July 26 through Amazon and Samsung’s online store. Standard specs of the two sizes include 8th-gen Intel Core processors, 8GB of memory, and fingerprint sensors. The 15-inch model can be equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce MX250 and extra SSD for faster performance.

If those aren’t enough, Samsung also has the Notebook 7 Force. It’s similar to the 15-inch model but it comes in a sleeker black color. Additionally, it’s loaded with the latest NVIDIA GTX 1650 graphics, 16GB of memory, an Ethernet port, Gigabit Wi-Fi, and two slots for storage expansion.

With its beefier specs, the Notebook 7 Force has a pricier tag of US$ 1,500. The extra bucks will give users a capable laptop for video editing and gaming. Although, it has a smaller battery than usual at 43Wh. This could affect battery life, especially when doing some video editing.

There’s been much ado about the NVIDIA RTX Spark. By now, you’ve probably heard a lot about the upcoming reinvention of PCs. But, as a regular consumer, it’s hard to visualize just how this revolution looks like. Thankfully, in NVIDIA’s demo suites, a few manufacturers got to showcase their take on an RTX Spark notebook. And all of them are coming out in the fall.

ASUS ProArt P14 and P16

Unfortunately, none of these brands could share comprehensive details about their laptops beyond a promise for raw power. All of these models aren’t the final version yet.

However, just from what we can tell, these notebooks do feel different from the standard fare of laptops today. For one, they are deceptively heavier. Though all of the OEMs promise a much thinner profile, they’re either packing a lot of tech inside or are using denser materials for their chassis. But again, these are engineering units, so who knows how heavy these things will actually be?

Secondly, based on NVIDIA’s demos, they can do a lot of heavy lifting. NVIDIA says that these superchips are meant for developers and creators, but gamers will also find joy in their performance. DLSS 4.5, in particular, feels like a true revolution in terms of graphics.

Thankfully, fall isn’t too far away. If you can wait, the next evolution of PCs is just around the corner.
