Broken In
Hi. Need to buy a laptop urgently.
Have posted here earlier...my budget is 50k (strict).
Finally zeroed in on the SAMSUNG NP370R5E-s05in
(please do not talk about np550p5c-s04in... already ruled out bcz of unavailability & higher price... waiting for haswell is over bcz these haswell laptops will be well over my budget as revealed by the just released laptops by HP, Tohsiba in the USA. )

Here goes the specs of np370r5e-s05in:
Intel® Core™ i5 Processor 3230M (2.6GHz, 3MB L3 Cache)
hm 76 chipset
amd 8750m 2gb ddr3 with powerexpress
6GB DDR3 System Memory at 1,600MHz (4GB x 1 + 2GB x 1)
2 SODIMM
1TB S-ATA II Hard Drive (5,400RPM)
39.6cm (15.6) HD LED Display (1366 x 768), Anti-Reflective
3 cell 43 Whr battery
NO DVD drive
combo speaker-out/mic-in port
lightweight! only 1.99kg
ok...this config tick marks all my checkpoints:
i5, 1tb, 6gb, a class 2 GPU (notebookcheck.net), good ASS...thats all i need!
BUT BUT BUT...
please clarify these doubts of mine:
1. this baby has no dvd drive. So what problems am i gonna face with an external dvd drive (I have never used one) ? Or does the external dvd drive function same as an internal one?
2. it has a speaker-out/mic-in combo port. And i need to do some home audio recording stuff. So will it work properly? Is there a splitter/adapter/combo-splitter available in the market? Is this port exactly same as those found on phones?? Samsung combo ports in phones are different than those found on others, say MMX...bcz samsung headphones (or rather, headsets) dont work on MMX!!! So this combo port is my biggest concern!
3. The battery life!!! Its just a 43Whr (3 cell) battery! Come on sammy, at least put a 48Whr! Guys, please confirm about this battery...will it suffice for about 4 hours usage on web browsing & programming?? And, any difference for 3 cell or 6 cell battery??
alright, so that's all the doubt in mind before i get this lappy of my dreams!
