갤럭시 북 플렉스 등 삼성 노트북 2종 발표예정

:: 갤럭시 북 플렉스 등 삼성 노트북 2종 발표예정 ::

연중 가장 많은 선물을 주고받는 행위가 이루어지는 기업들 입장에서는 그야말로 "대목"시즌인 크리스마스가 두 달 앞으로 다가오고 있습니다. 특히, 내년 새롭게 입학을 앞둔 대학교 신입생들을 위한 선물로 학업과 일상생활 모두에 두루두루 활용되는 최신 노트북의 인기가 뜨거운데요. 기능적인 부분뿐 아니라, 최신 트렌드에 맞는 복잡하지 않고 직관적인 인터페이스 및 깔끔한 디자인도 요즘 한몫하는 것 같습니다. 물론, 스마트폰의 사용량이 급증하면서 이전보다 휴대용 노트북이나 데스트톱을 찾는 비율이 많이 줄었다고는 하지만 여전히 과제나 또는 게임을 취미로 하는 분들께는 스마트폰의 성능은 부족하게만 느껴집니다.

대학생들이 받고 싶은 선물 중 늘 상위권을 차지하는 가장 인기 있는 상품인 노트북. 그중에서도 애플과 더불어 양대 산맥을 이루는 인기 브랜드 삼성 노트북, 삼성이 곧 발표를 앞두고 있는 최신 노트북 2종을 함께 살펴봅니다. 크리스마스 시즌 이후 판매가 이루어질 예정이라, 올해 안에 선물용으로는 아쉽지만 구입이 불가능한 아이템이기도 합니다. 

빠르면 내달 출시를 예상하고 있는 새로운 삼성 노트북 "갤럭시 북 Ion"과 "갤럭시 북 Flex"는 각각 대화면에 속하는 13인치와 15인치 디스플레이를 장착할 예정입니다. 주목받는 성능으로는 배터리 성능을 꼽을 수 있겠는데요. 두 모델 모두 69.7Wh 배터리를 탑재할 예정이며 절약 모드 적용 시 하루 종일 사용해도 부족함 없을 만큼 뛰어난 배터리 운용능력을 선보입니다.

최상의 배터리 성능을 끌어내기 위해 이번 모델에 Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx가 탑재되어 고화질의 디스플레이를 경험하면서 동시에 최장시간의 배터리 라이프를 기대해 볼 수 있게 되었습니다. Ion과 Flex 두 모델 모두 인텔의 10세대 칩셋을 채용했으며 인텔사의 개선된 최신 GPU를 내장할 것으로 전망하고 있습니다. 또한 옵션을 통해 Nvidia GeForce MX250 GPU를 15인치 급 모델에 적용할 수도 있습니다.

새롭게 발표될 두 모델 중 좀 더 관심이 모아지고 있는 갤러시 북 Flex의 경우 힌지 부분이 360도로 완전히 접히며 13인치 모델의 경우 1.14KG에 불과해 휴대성 또한 뛰어날 것으로 전해졌습니다. 이에 따라, 완전히 접은 상태에서 스마트 태블릿처럼 활용이 가능해 좀 더 활용도가 높은 아이템으로 주목받을 예정입니다. 또한 Flex 모델의 경우 최상의 디스플레이 익스피어리언스를 선사할 "QLED"디스플레이 채용으로 영상 콘텐츠 감상에도 최적화된 제품입니다. 실제 판매는 연초에 이루어질 예정이며, 가격은 현재 미정입니다. 두 모델의 기능적 스펙은 다음과 같습니다.
