Modern notebooks are rapidly evolving into super-light, super-slim products, this growing trend being perfectly portrayed by one of the latest such devices revealed by Korean company Samsung, namely the Sense QX412 model.

Without a doubt, this portable computing system's main selling point is represented by its super-slim, narrow bezel design, the 14-inch display having a thickness of just around 9.8 mm, which is truly an impressive achievement (although not exactly a huge surprise, given Samsung's extensive experience in the field of ultra-thin display solutions).

In fact, the whole device is ultra-slim, the overall size of the Sense notebook, when closed, being of just 27mm, while the weight is restricted to just around 2.2 kg, which means that carrying this thing around shouldn't be much of a problem for anyone.

Beside its thin and elegant form factor, the new notebook from Samsung also offers a fairly OK level of computing power, given the fact that it packs an Intel Core i5 Sandy Bridge processor, coupled with 3GB of DDR3 RAM memory, plus an NVIDIA GeForce GT520 graphics-card with 1GB of VRAM (given the fact that the i5 CPU also packs built-in graphics, we're pretty sure that the notebook also packs Optimus graphics switching technology).

Additional features worth mentioning here include the 320GB HDD, the Bluetooth 3.0 and USB 3.0 connectivity technologies this thing comes equipped with, as well as the built-in 1.3-megapixel web camera module.

It's also noteworthy that the Sense notebook comes equipped with a 6-cell battery pack, capable of providing an overall functioning life of up to 10 hours, which is actually quite OK, all things considered.

Given its super-slim and elegant form factor, it shouldn't really come as much of a surprise that pricing for the new Samsung Sense QX412 ultra-slim is not exactly very low, the new device selling for around 1.39-million Korean Won (or roughly 1,235 US dollars).
