Editorial note

The Samsung ATIV NP940Z5L is a laptop that stands out for its impressive performance, particularly thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7 6th generation processor, capable of reaching a Turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz. This ensures smooth execution, even for the most demanding tasks. Additionally, its 15.6-inch 4K Ultra HD display offers remarkable picture quality, ideal for an immersive visual experience. The product design is modern and sleek, weighing 2018 g, which makes it easy to carry. However, this weight may make it less practical for users who are often on the go. Its pre-installed Windows 10 Home operating system provides an intuitive user experience and broad compatibility with various software. Despite its many advantages, this model has some drawbacks. The 256 GB storage capacity may prove insufficient for users with high storage needs, particularly for multimedia files and heavy applications. Furthermore, the lack of an Ethernet/LAN port limits connectivity options. The 8 GB internal memory may also pose performance issues when running multiple heavy applications simultaneously. Finally, the maximum battery life of 6.5 hours may not be enough for extended use without access to a power source. Overall, the Samsung ATIV NP940Z5L offers good value for money, but users are advised to consider its limitations in terms of storage and connectivity before making a choice.
