The SAMSUNG P400 and P500 offer great value, outstanding functionality and leading-edge technology to really enhance productivity and empower a mobile workforce.

These notebooks offer a choice of screen sizes – a large 14” widescreen on the SAMSUNG P400, while the SAMSUNG P500 boasts a 15.4” widescreen display. SuperBright non-gloss LCD screens on both models give crystal clear, ultra-sharp resolution for enhanced visuals when working on graphic intense applications and presentations. With a SuperBright screen, users are guaranteed a display that will not mirror the surrounding light conditions, so they can keep working even in direct sunlight.

Lightweight and ultra portable, these notebooks bring users a host of features to really enhance mobility. The SAMSUNG P400 is 2.4kg (4 Cell), 2.68kg (8 Cell) while the P500 weighs in at just 2.68kg (6 Cell). SAMSUNG’s unique Protect-o-Edge design gives these notebooks a durable alloy casing, while the Protect-o-SoftGrip adds a protective rubberised trim, making them both good looking and hard wearing. Both notebooks feature innovative keyboards coated with nano-sized silver ion powder making the keyboard completely anti-bacterial for improved hygiene.

SAMSUNG’s leading fan technology, cuts out the noise when operating in the ultra-quiet SuperSilent Mode, so users can work silently in any meeting or other noise sensitive environment.

When buying a SAMSUNG notebook, users can be confident of leading edge technology for complete reliability in a high quality PC. Computing power is delivered by the latest Intel processors, with graphics from ATI for ultra-sharp images. Integrated wireless LAN and Bluetooth as standard gives users a choice of connectivity options, while three USB 2.0 drives and card readers make data transfer quick and easy.
