Took Off!!!
I played bf3, and faced no throttling. Don't put every setting on ultra (remember this is a laptop, not a gaming rig), use auto configure graphics in bf3.......

for battery wear level, use the CPUID-HWMonitor software. And for setting the max battery level to 80%, press fn+F1 to open the Easy Settings > General > Battery Life Extender > ON

So what? Isnt that the purpose of a forum. New people join it for different reasons, and also give their inputs and thought on products. Why question new arrivals then ??
@ tv1993.. Yes throttling problem is an issue with demanding games at high settings. There are may be a few exceptions.

Same thing happened with me twice, that sound was from optical drive i guess...my battery wear level went to 16% but now again it came to 0% thanks to pratyush
and 55C during normal browsing is normal. don't worry about it. i don't use turbo mode...i changed CPU max to 60% and play skyrim at 30-45fps Hey i turned of anti-aliasing and put anti-aliasing post to low. this didn't affect the graphics quality at all and it finally stopped throttling. I also updated the intel chipset driver from samsung website so that might have helped.

yes insert the dvd, boot up your laptop and start installation. and after installing fresh, delete windows.old folder from C-DRIVE.

Guys, I have been busy with college lately, so I was not able to follow the thread.
I got my laptop (the one with the i7 processor) a week ago, but I did not have time to test it.
Now that I tried playing FIFA 12 for almost an hour at 1600X900 and high settings I received FPS ranging from 80 to 140 in normal operation. I was kind of surprised as I thought that the maximum FPS should be 60 to match with the monitor refresh rate. I tried to configure Vsync, but could not find any mention of it in the NVIDIA control panel.
But the main problem is that after every 15-20 minutes the FPS would drop to 20-25 FPS
for 10-15 seconds and then again go back up, even though the maximum CPU temperature was only about 85*C and GPU was about 70*C.
Another thing that I found that every time I tried top resume FIFA 12 from minimized condition, it crashed!! This problem does not occur in my desktop and my friends laptops, so I am pretty certain that its an issue with my laptop itself.
What should I do about these problems?
Are any new drivers out yet?
What is the version of NVIDIA drivers that you guys are using?
Another thing that I noticed that the blacks appear to be quite grayish, so is the any way to increase the screen contrast (not brightness), and can any of you say exactly which USB port is powered?
Thanks guys...

Hi Guys, Purchased the NP550P5C-S02IN model last evening at Spencers Plaza in Chennai, Solid Laptop!
But while setting up the machine I noticed that in the Bios settings, the Purchased Date is strangely mentioned as 26-6-12. On probing further, the Samsung Easy support center bloatware also gave me the same information under the system information tab. I'm pretty confused now.. Am I being taken for a ride by the seller? coz the laptop is not even a day old. Or is this normal? Please Help!

well what a coincidence i have samsung np550p5c and my roomie has lenovo z580. both are really nice.. Z580 remains cool unlike samsung. the screen is glossy in 580 which i prefer much than matte coz the color looks good
yes thats a win7 dvd so thats all needed after that use the recovery option to install drivers
abd the thing is that my gpu is throttling at 85c not cpu.
