Samsung recently revealed the Notebook 7 Spin, which is a convertible laptop with a folding design. Its screens can be flipped all the way back to become a tablet. It can also be in stand or tent modes. Now, here's what is currently known about Samsung Notebook 7 specs, review and price. We'll also give updates about the Galaxy Note 7.

Samsung's Notebook 7 Spin comes in two variants: 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch models. The smaller one is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor and integrated graphics. The larger is equipped with much powerful Intel Core i7 and Nvidia 940MX GPU.

Regarding RAM, the 13.3-inch model has 8GB RAM, while there are 12GB and 16GB variants for the 15.6-inch model. Buyers can also configure the larger model with 128GB of solid-state drive storage.

Both models have an HDMI, one USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, one USB Type-C and a microSD card slot. 

The Verge reported Notebook 7 boasts fast charging technology. It only takes an hour and a half to fully charge the 15.6-inch model and an additional ten minutes for the smaller model. For those who are always in a hurry, Samsung claims both models can have two extra hours of battery life in just 20 minutes of charging.

Furthermore, the hardware has "Video HDR" mode for display that makes images sharper.

The Notebook 7 Spin will be available on June 26 at Best Buy stores. The price of 13-inch model is $799.99, while the 15-inch model is $999.99

Meanwhile, many gadget lovers are looking forward to the August 2 launching of Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Tech Times reported Samsung is now in mass production to release 5 million units in August.

For the features of the next Galaxy Note, it is rumored to have a curved screen design. Samsung's sales figures show many buyers love the Edge model of Galaxy S series over the flat variant. So, it is highly likely Samsung will follow the market. Also, the device will sport 5.8-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED curved display.

It is also reported the device will have an advanced iris scanner for enhanced security and payment authorization. Inside, it will be powered by a Snapdragon 823 chip and 6 GB of RAM. It will also run on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

With that said, let's wait for more announcements from Samsung.
