Tell him tht... 4+1 frnds of mine bought it from here...together..... and they hv reffered this shop to U...hw evr tht shopkeeper looks very mean frm Face

Yes...he is a cunning fellow...talks rudely sometimes.... but he was the only dealer of this laptop in pune

check in spam, i too was waiting for mail but one day i randomly opened spam mails and saw Samsung mail. but wait, you are talking about 'extended warranty' mail, rigght?

i checked spam mails...nothing is there...what to do now? what mail you received from them...can you paste it here.

Im also from pune...here is the contact no...BABA COMPUTERS...9850725903 TILAK ROAD, SWARGATE....and tell him this if he his quoting 52k..."Hello, my 4 friends bought Samsung lappy from you...you quoted them 48.5K (inlcuding back pack)...thats why i came here"

tell him my name Rohan...i don't know what price he is quoting after 2 months (i bought this lappy in the month of August)...but his price are good compared to other dealers...and with goodies he will quote 49.5K.

Hi thanks for the info. Called him up and he did quote 52k. Told me that the price has increased recently and it was 48 two months back and told me to come up to his store and have the discussion about other things. Reliable to go and haggle, or does he not have a personality that will back down?

Hi guys,

Quick question: Has anyone bought the S01 from flipkart? Is it the same build? Because the pic at flipkart is different from the actual pic, but the specs are correct however.

If yes I am buying the S01 this week. Might just place the order right now if I get a favourable reply . Heating issues as far as i can see are only there during extended periods of heavy gaming, which i am rarely ever gonna do (max 1-2 hours).

Sorry, it seems I bought the last piece at Flipkart. It's out of stock now and they increased the price too. They would be shipping it to me this week. And I guess they changed the pic too.

if he doesn't back down...cross the road and go to LEE COMPUTERS...Sales guy is very friendly and also provides space for bargaining. that road has many laptop showrooms...only thing you should have is patience and energy.

Dude this one has DDR5 which is very fast and i would say this is really good graphics card but i would personally not pay 63k for just 4GB ram and i5 but that's my opinion

Im getting more than 35 fps in Crysis 2 at 900p in advanced settings. Yes clean install means formatting your laptop...but don't format the 22GB partition...it contains all the necessary drivers of this laptop. if you are only a gamer...then I5 is more than enough...I7 comes into handy when you work a lot with photoshop and programming.

and I7 won't give you a 20 fps boost over I5 version...bullshit...90% of the games available are depended on GPU. and Battlefield 3 depends on GPU.

Thanks very much for such a glad information... And can u plz tell me abt build quality... Heard tht it got poor buid quality as it is made of plastic, like the monitor gets shake when it kept near a table fan. and should have to use it very carefullly. Is it right ??

I know it depends on user to user, but still it is a question for me....

Please Respond

 

[twostepsfromhell]

Please Respond

I own the S02 laptop

The build quality (not the look and style and finish) is average at best
The screen wobbles in a light breeze, but this is not because the hinge is bad, but because the screen is very thin.
The power adapter cable even when plugged in seems loose at the incoming pin (it doesnt feel properly plugged in)
The system fan placement and number of vents are poor resulting in higher heating
The RAM locking mechanism can chip the RAM module if not properly handled (happened to me)
The CD drive open button is where you would hold the laptop if you want to carry it, resulting in it opening every now and then
The SYSTEM IS DESIGNED BY A MAN WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HEATING PROBLEMS.

I hope that gives you a good idea abt the build quality

 

[rockz3r]

Is it very necessary to do a clean install?? Can I play games without doing it man i dont want to mess with Operating System . Can some one using this laptop give me the address of his house so that i can directly go to your house and ask u to do it for me

The original installed OS comes with tons of bloatware and startup items (more than 100 !!!!!!) which will make your system slow. Moreover it has only one partition meaning that if your system crashes and you have to format and reinstall it all your personal files are lost (I am not talking abt the stupid thing called recovery here). You can play games without reinstall, however it is highly recommended that you format, partition and re-install your OS. It is not very hard to do and just by googling you can get n number of guides explaining this.

Hi thanks for the info. Called him up and he did quote 52k. Told me that the price has increased recently and it was 48 two months back and told me to come up to his store and have the discussion about other things. Reliable to go and haggle, or does he not have a personality that will back down?

u CAN RELY ON HIM IF HE VOW FR DELIVERING IT TO u....I came frm long distance and he delayed me only 1 day (reason ws not able to get laptop blocked fr us on time)

if he doesn't back down...cross the road and go to LEE COMPUTERS...Sales guy is very friendly and also provides space for bargaining. that road has many laptop showrooms...only thing you should have is patience and energy.

yess !!! This BABA guy is nut to crack.... he wont give u discount at awl (imagine we 4 buyed same dy without ny discount on 48.5K though it ws quoted 48 to RON earlier) nd besides tht to expect goodies fr free frm him will be greatest mistake. He's only good for his commitment made...if u pay him some advance....fr tht I can trust him blindly NOW.

Rest he is very cunning
