    Help in deciding laptop of 60-70k range!

    Bottom line is, this is a really difficult category (Multimedia Laptops) to pick and choose between different laptops. You've got to compromise on one front or the other, especially, since you are in India. I've used Dell laptops in the past, you wouldn't be disappointed, also, the ASS is quite...

    Help in deciding laptop of 60-70k range!

    Having lived in the NIT Calicut hostels for 4 years, I can tell you one thing. Don't even think about heavy duty gaming on any lappy, least of all without a notebook cooler (People who live in Calicut don't know what winter is). Btw CS, AOE, DOTA, FIFA etc. played over LAN for long hours is not...

    The Samsung Series 5 550P Laptops Thread

    Just had to post this. I played Divinity 2 for more than 3 hours. It was released in 2011, so, it is one of the newer games I've tried on the laptop. Resolution: 1600*900, FSAA, 4xAF, Shadows & HDR on, most other settings high. Don't know exact fps because I don't have FRAPS but not even once...

    The Samsung Series 5 550P Laptops Thread

    There's just no way that the SSD is operating at that temp. It is totally different from a mechanical HDD, there are no moving parts and because of that it'll hardly be running more than 50 deg. C I am guessing that there is a bug in HWmonitor. I am sure there are lots of websites and videos...

    1. My boot times are really fast. The system boots up in 16 seconds and powers down in 6 seconds. :-D These are after I installed a fresh copy of Windows on the SSD and some registry tweaks. 2. That's just marketing speak to fool gullible buyers. Though, high end SSDs will have 500 Mbps...

    The Samsung Series 5 550P Laptops Thread

    So, as I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I replaced my laptop's HDD with an SSD. I decided to go for a clean install of Windows, using the disc provided with the laptop. In case, someone wants to transfer everything (including applications and games) from the HDD to the SSD, various drive...

    1. Throttling means that CPU/GPU downgrade themselves to a lower performance level based on adverse conditions like high operating temperature or insufficient power supply. It results in sudden performance drops, which is especially noticeable in processor/graphics intensive applications. It is...

    Don't know how much it matters, but, here is a screenshot of my Windows Experience Index score anyway. BTW...how do I post an image directly. So that it appears as an image, not as a link to one?

    It may seem immodest, but, I will take credit for that listing on ebay. I had decided to go for Y580 and have it shipped here through a reseller, but, as it happens, I chanced upon the Sammy that very day. BTW, if you buy directly from the reseller "cart2india", they will give you the very same...
