The Samsung Notebook Odyssey was announced at the CES technology show in Las Vegas earlier this week. It will be offered in two different models, 17.3-inch and 15.6-inch. Both displays have a 1920×1080 Full HD resolution.
The Notebook Odyssey is powered by a range of 7th-generation Intel Core processors up to the Core i7. An NVIDIA GTX1050 graphics card provides the stamina to run demanding games. Memory can be specified up to 64GB on the 17.3-inch version and 32GB on the 15.6-inch. A variety of storage options are available, including a combination of PCIE SSD, dual SSD and conventional hard drive configurations.

Samsung has created a unique design for the Odyssey, aiming to attract all kinds of gamers. Although there is a not-so-subtle effect around the touchpad, the laptop’s design is generally quite conservative. Despite an equally noticeable red graphic on the lid, the Odyssey wouldn’t look too out-of-place in a meeting room or in the office.
“The Samsung Notebook Odyssey was designed specifically with gamers in mind and is equipped with exclusive features to offer users one of the best gaming notebooks available on the market,” said YoungGyoo Choi, Senior Vice President of Samsung’s PC Business Team.
“Today, serious and even casual gamers seek computing devices that not only pack power for intense graphics-rich games but also feature a stylish and portable design. We’re excited to expand our PC portfolio with a premium gaming solution featuring refinements in design, cutting-edge technology and enhanced gaming usability.”

The laptop is cooled by Samsung’s new “HexaFlow Vent,” a complex system of vents and fans that keeps the Odyssey running quietly even under heavy load. The HexaFlow Vent can also be removed to access a maintenance bay, enabling owners to upgrade the memory and storage in the future.
There’s no word yet on when or where the Notebook Odyssey will be launched. Samsung said it will announce further details on availability and pricing later in the spring. As a market entry product designed for wide appeal, the laptop may be priced quite competitively. It will run Windows 10 out of the box.
