http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/screen-shot-2013-02-21-at-7.07.45-pm_620x340.jpgAfter whetting our appetite at CES (http://www.engadget.com/tag/ces2013/), Samsung's updated Series 7 Chronos (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/hands-on-new-samsung-series-7-chronos/) is slowly squeaking its way into US retailers. Spotted at Best Buy for $1,200, this 21mm dynamo packs a 2.4GHz Intel Core i7 3635QM CPU and an AMD Radeon HD 8870M GPU along with a 15.6-inch touchscreen. While this lean, mean, Windows 8 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/30/windows-8-review/) machine's streamlined design and spec sheet are impressive, such adornment comes at a price. Absent from the Chronos' fine engineering is room for an optical drive, so DVD and Blu-ray enthusiasts be warned. However, should this caveat not apply to you, then by all means you have our blessings to check out Sammy's new up-and-comer.
