Editorial note

The Samsung 7 Series NP740U3E stands out for its performance thanks to its Intel® Core™ i5 processor, offering a frequency of 1.8 GHz and a Turbo mode reaching 2.7 GHz. The 13.3-inch Full HD screen ensures a pleasant and immersive visual experience, ideal for work or entertainment. Additionally, its weight of 1650 g facilitates portability, which is an asset for users on the go. The battery life, which can reach 6 hours, allows for prolonged use without interruption. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The internal storage limited to 128 Go may be insufficient for those who need a lot of space for their files and applications. Moreover, the absence of USB 3.0 ports and other modern connectivity options, such as Thunderbolt, limits the possibilities for fast connections with recent devices. The 4 Go RAM may also prove restrictive for heavy tasks, which can affect the smoothness of the user experience. Finally, although the weight is reasonable, it may seem less convenient compared to other lighter laptops. In terms of writing score, the user experience is rated positively with a score of 82, however, performance and connectivity receive respective scores of 78 and 60, indicating that there are areas for improvement. The value for money is rated fair with a score of 65, but this is tempered by the limitations of storage and connectivity. Overall, the Samsung 7 Series NP740U3E is a solid choice for users looking for a high-performing and portable laptop, provided that its limitations are taken into account.
