HD LED Backlit Display

With a 16:9 aspect ratio, the Q430 provides sharper, brighter images and the most accurate representation of High Definition (HD) video content. So you can watch true HD movies in 16:9 widescreen format that fits the full size of the screen, without any black bands. You'll see images that are fine-tuned with the sharpest details and boldest colors on the Q430 14" HD LED display. And the LED-backlit display has edge-to-edge glass which gives you a rich viewing experience. View Demo.

Powerful Processing

The Q430 has a state-of-the-art Intel® Core™ i5 processor with Hyper-Threading Technology. This uses the processor resources more efficiently, enabling multiple threads to run on each core. It will enable better graphics and allow you to run demanding applications, simultaneously. Also, Intel Turbo Boost Technology will deliver more power by automatically increasing the processor speed, when your workload demands it.

NVIDIA® Graphics

With 512 MB of dedicated graphics memory and the NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 310 M graphics engine, expect superior graphics performance on multimedia applications, including photo and video editing, as well as gaming. You can get the most out of the latest state-of-the-art 3D computer games and action-packed High Definition movies.

Simple Data Sharing

With a host of advanced connectivity tools, including a 3-in-1 memory card reader and 3 x USB 2.0 ports (1 chargeable), HDMI, VGA, and Bluetooth v3.0, you can seamlessly move data from other devices, straight to your notebook. And with the chargeable USB on the Q430, you can charge many of your mobile devices right through this USB port.

Power Back up in 3 Seconds with Fast Start

You no longer have to shut down your Samsung computer, just close its lid and it goes into a special powerless sleep mode. When you open the lid your computer comes back to life in 3 seconds and you are exactly at the same place as when you shut the lid. Fast Start saves your data and system configurations to your hard drive and PC memory. So, when you power it back on it is just like you left it.

Island Style Keyboard

The key to getting more done has to do with an ergonomically designed keyboard. The Island style keyboard design of the Q430 provides a larger separation between individual keys. This creates easier, faster typing with fewer mistakes.
