Samsung SF410 notebook

The Samsung SF410 notebook series delivers one-of-a-kind style and performance for those always on-the-go. And not only does its unique, slim and fluidic design set it apart, but its unrivalled performance – the state-of-the-art Intel® Core™ i5 Processor *, combined with a longer lasting battery, gives you the freedom to get out with the power to perform without the worry of where to recharge.

So, if you want more than just an eye catching design, other features include the 14.0" high resolution, wide-screen, LED backlit display that will certainly satisfy your needs, delivering a visually stunning video-watching experience. Also, with its Fast Start feature, faster connectivity options, and lightweight casing, you’ll quickly appreciate the perfect combination of portability and performance.
 So stay fashionable and trendy, without compromising on performance, with your SF series notebook.

Start up Speed:


With your notebook in an advanced sleep mode, important data and system configurations are saved to the hard drive and into PC memory for quick access; when you lift the lid of your notebook, the innovative Fast Start feature brings your computer out of advanced sleep mode and into full-working mode in just 3 seconds. Fast Start function provides extra security and safety so that even if power is suddenly lost or battery is changed, there’s no data or information loss.



Samsung Recovery Solution:

In situations requiring important system information to be restored, the Samsung Recovery Solution automatically creates system restore points on your HDD, and allows your computer to reinstall important system information to these restore points, while improving the overall stability of your notebook.

EASY-TO-USE: The notebook's chiclet-style keyboard offers a comfortable typing experience while the trackpad supports multitouch gestures. 
 

Multimedia ­performance: 


The SF410's 14in display has a ­resolution of 1,366 x 768-pixels. It has good levels of contrast and brightness for watching movies and playing games.
We were able to play HD movies such as 300 in 720p but the ­notebook faltered when we tried 1080p videos. When we tried Scott Pilgrim vs. the World in 1080p, the playback was choppy at best.
Another disappointment is the screen's viewing angles which is poor for both horizontal and ­vertical.
This will pose a problem if you use the machine to edit images with a photo editor.
In terms of audio quality, the SF410's speakers are very loud and sounded good even when the volume was pushed all the way up.
The SRS 3D virtual sound also works and the experience was immersive when we tried playing songs, games and movies.
However, the speakers lacked the deep bass of a dedicated desktop speaker. This was especially pronounced when we played Gorillaz's bass-heavy Feel Good Inc and a few of other electric-guitar-heavy tracks from the Darkness.

 
GOOD LOOKING: The exterior view of the SF410.
 
Conclusion: 


The Samsung SF410 will serve well as a travel notebook because it is reasonably portable and ­lightweight, and also has a long lasting battery.
It can double up as a multimedia machine for watching HD movies as long as you can settle for 720p ­quality.
It is also not too shabby in the gaming department, and is able to handle most older games. However, it struggles to handle new and graphics intensive games.
It comes with a slightly hefty price tag of RM3,199. That makes it pricier than most medium-range notebooks but you'll get what you are paying for as this notebook is packed with lots of features.

Pros:

Not too big or heavy; long battery life; can handle games and 720p HD movies; handy Fast Start function.

Cons:

Screen has poor viewing angles; ­speakers lack bass; can't play 1080p HD ­videos.
