$\"NewsHub\"$ Samsung seems to have its fingers in everything. From memory to storage to tablets to smartphones, the company has a broad catalog of products under its belt. Now, Samsung has announced that it has thrown its hat into the gaming laptop ring.
The new Samsung Notebook Odyssey laptops will come in 17.3- and 15.6-inch varieties, and both will be configurable with up to a 45W Intel 7th generation (Kaby Lake) Core i7 processor. Although Samsung wasn\u2019t specific with its CPU model offerings for the Odyssey notebooks, we can conclude from the reported power ceiling that it will likely be the Intel Core i7-7700HQ.
Memory and graphics options for the two Odyssey laptops are also different, with the 15.6-inch model offering up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a GTX 1050. The 17.3-inch model features up to 64GB of RAM, and the graphics options are notably marked \u201cTBD\u201d on the company\u2019s website. However, both models feature a 1920 x 1080 anti-glare display.
Storage options also vary between the two notebooks, with the 17.3- and 15.6-inch models offering up to 512GB PCIe SSDs with a 1TB HDD and up to 256GB PCIe SSDs with 1TB HDDs, respectively. The larger version also offers triple storage configurations with two SSDs and a HDD, whereas the smaller (15.6-inch) model offers only dual drive setups (one SSD, one HDD).
Both of the Odyssey laptops feature an LED-backlit keyboard, but the 17.3-inch model offers RGB colors and per-key lighting. Additionally, the 17.3-inch Odyssey features volcano keycaps, whereas the smaller model sports crater keycaps.
Clearly, the larger Odyssey is meant to be the flagship model, with more robust storage, memory, and features, which includes Thunderbolt 3 support. The 15.6-inch version doesn\u2019t offer the USB Type-C interface.
Pricing and availability for the new Samsung Notebook Odyssey laptops aren\u2019t yet known, but the announcement signifies a new player in the mobile gaming PC market. If the company\u2019s track record in other avenues is any indication, these new notebooks are poised to make an impact.<\/p>\n
