Samsung Notebook

Samsung Notebook (stylized as SΛMSUNG Notebook), formerly known as Samsung Sens (삼성 센스) and also marketed as Samsung Notebook Series (2011–2013), is a line of portable computers produced by Samsung Electronics. The Sens line was first launched in 1995 and lasted until 2013, exported overseas without the Sens branding, and replaced by Samsung Ativ. Ativ itself was also dropped in favor of Samsung Notebook. As of 2020, Samsung Notebook co-exists with the company's Galaxy Book line of laptops but is facing transition.

The SENS brand (Samsung Electronics Notebook System) started in 1995, a year after Samsung laptop business started with the SPC5800/5900 series in 1994 which initially had a 486 processor and later Pentium 75 MHz. In 2001 the three-digit model name was replaced by a new lettered series: A, T, P, Q, V. The A series was equipped with a low-cost AMD Athlon processor. The M30 and M35 came with equipped JBL speakers. The first Intel Centrino platform computer was the X10. A large 17-inch screen model called M40 was released. The X20, X25 and X50 series were released with Intel Sonoma.

Another 17 inch laptop, M70, was launched in 2005 featuring a high end graphics chip from Nvidia and a resolution of 1680 x 1050. Its screen could also be used separately. It weighed 5 kg. In 2006, the Sens Q35 was the first notebook PC with WiMAX. It was sold in South Korea and Russia.

According to Gartner research, Samsung laptop sales amounted to 1.5 million units in 2007. Sales grew 77% in 2008, 116% in 2009 and 78% in 2010.

In 2007 Samsung launched the first ultra mobile PC, the Samsung Q1. It had a 7 inch touchscreen and equipped with features such as WLAN, DMB and navigation. Its second generation was then launched based on Intel Ultra Mobile Platform.

In 2007, Samsung created a 19 inch desktop-sized laptop, the Sens G25.

For the export market, Samsung Electronics only sold laptops to a number of Western European countries as well as Russia and Ukraine, before expanding.

In July 2008 Samsung introduced laptops with Intel Centrino 2 with a crystal black design. Models include Q210 (12.1"), Q310 (13.3"), R560 (15.4") and R710 (17"). In October 2008, Samsung announced its return to the United States and Canada laptop market, with the models being X360, X460, Q310, R610, and P460, and netbook NC1.
