Samsung hasn’t ever really tried to court gamers with its laptops , but a glimpse its new Series 7 family indicates that can be changing. German sites, NewGadgets.de and netzwelt.de, scored the deets in this 17.3-inch behemoth and it’s safe to mention the 700G7A is a force to be reckoned with. Pushing pixels to the 1,920 x 1,080 screen is a Radeon HD 6970m with 2GB of RAM, while a 2GHz quad-core Core i7 looks after any non-graphical tasks. Not impressed yet? Well, it’s also possible to trick it out with as much as 16GB of RAM and a Blu-ray drive, to go with its USB 2.0 and three.0 ports, HDMI jack, and Bluetooth 3.0 radio. The foremost convincing sign this rig is squarely aimed toward dedicated gamers is the backlit keyboard — the W, A, S and D keys are highlighted in red, while the remainder of the spread glows a relaxing blue. The 700G7A will hit shelves in September for around €1,800 (about $2,600), though there isn’t any word if said shelves include those here within the states.
