The Samsung Notebook 7 Spin feels like it just might languish in the land of the in-betweens: it’s got a lot of oomph, including a dedicated graphics card, but it isn’t meant for hardcore PC gamers; it can handle video and photo editing, but it’s too heavy for producers to lug around on a regular basis; it makes an excellent stay-at-home laptop, but some people won’t want to spend more than $1,000 on that.

Yup, just as Samsung has started making super sleek, thin notebooks, it has made a 15-inch workhorse of a laptop that wouldn’t catch your eye unless someone dropped it in your lap — and you would definitely notice it then, because it’s heavy.

It also has one of those hinges that lets the display fold all the way back until it’s a tablet, not unlike the Lenovo Yoga series, the Asus ZenBook Flip, or the Acer Spin 7. Bend-y laptops are on trend, and they do serve a purpose for some people; every time I call it a gimmick, I inevitably get a note from a reader who loves watching video on his laptop in tent mode, or who appreciates that she’s getting both a laptop and a tablet for the price of one. Still, studies have shown that these devices are still primarily used as laptops.

But, despite its boring appearance, the Samsung Notebook 7 Spin is not a bad laptop — at all. Samsung is aiming this at people who watch a lot of video, or edit a lot of media, and it makes a good case for that. It’s actually a really powerful Windows 10 machine with dual hard drives, up to an Intel Core i7 processor, a minimum of 12GB of (swappable) RAM, and a full-HD touchscreen display. For people who use their laptops more like desktops, it will do the job for them — and compared with other powerful 15-inch laptops, it’s reasonably priced.

It’s basically the Camry of 15-inch laptops: it will get you very far, but it's not going to turn heads along the way.
