The Samsung Series 5 550P Laptops Thread

First tell me the need to buy such an expensive laptop, that vaio model is great for its 1080p IPS screen, not great to play new games in high settings.

So i can use it for 4-5 yrs. But the Samsung one is also quite good n around 18k less then sony. Plz tell me what should i do? I told the showroom to hold it for a day n i will let him know what i decided.

Do you do gaming, if yes what games you played recently.
 
Yes i do play games. i already have games like Max payne 3, Ghost Recon Future Soldier, The Witcher 2,Alan Wake etc r lined up for playing.

But gaming is not a big issue here as i hv got pc with i7 920(1st gen i guess) with MSI X58 Pro motherboard . Am planning to buy GTX 680 Graphic card in near future .

So the point here is :
- Is Sony worth paying 79K ?
OR
- The Samsung is the better option ?

If gaming is not an issue and you want a laptop for mobilty, better to buy an ultrabook.
Between between them is vaio, it has much much better 1080p IPS panel display the best after macbook pro retina display, but has GT 640M LE. Since you use GTX 680, graphics like GT 650M and GT 640M LE are nothing to enjoy.

I don't have GTX 680 yet . Planning to buy.

@ Rider
R u saying if we keep gaming aside then Sony is the batter option ! (Mobility , Display aspects ).

I called my dealer again n he says he don't have the Samsung one, But its available in couple of other showrooms .

So the main question is shall i go with Sony (as gaming is not much of my concern) OR i cancel my order and go with Samsung ?

Plz help this final time friends. :-? :-?

that vaio model is better for:
weigh just 2.0 kg overall, build quality, display, reliability, quality and brand image.

samsung is better for:
650M GPU, JBL speakers, value for money, 1TB HDD.

To be very frank Sony is not worth it.
You have lots of other options.
Dell & Samsung is there. Acer is going to launch ASPIRE TIMELINE M5 which uses GT640M and which is actually an ultrabook with 14" and 15" models.
M3 is already in market which uses the same graphics card.
Lenovo u310 is there.
You have lots of choices my friend, why waste your money on just an IPS panel?
You can browse through Flipkart for more choices.
Coming back to the topic, if you like the samsung one, you can definitely go for it. You will not regret it, its better than Sony overall.
:-D

bro, every person has different requirements, IPS panel 1080p is not a waste, its superb, check it in sony centre. Acer is the worst brand to buy a laptop, nobody buy a acer laptop over 30-35k budget.

HP envy 15 is much worse than sony vaio s-series.

I didn't say 1080p is a waste,:-? but acer I didn't know..

there's a friend who has been using HP ENVY 15 he says he hasn't faced any problems yet.
Dunno.
And yes, every person has his priorities and that is exactly why I told him to check it out from Flipkart.
:razz:

Never buy or suggest anyone from flipkart they are cheaters now, I ordered and paid money to buy my laptop and they cheated me by not delivering it. There are many website which sells at cheaper price, yet reilable like infibeam.

What should i do now?

I was also looking for this Lappy in bangalore but wasn't able to find in any showroom except "The Laptop Store" who is quoting around 52k.
Do you know any shop where they have displayed this laptop?

My opinion is to wait till "Binary world" gets this as they sell comparatively cheaper.

I was just telling him to choose from flipkart as it has selective options to narrow down your list. Thats all. Flipkart cheated me too. I ordered a lappy and 5 days later they cancelled my order by saying they didn't have it in stock. They refunded the day before yesterday after almost a week.

I ordered my laptop last november coz they were providing around 5k bucks cashback. Instead of 5k cashback they refunded my 54k after weeks. Boycott!! flipkart

It has been with FlipKart for quite a long time, I ordered Funbook with them but after 20 days when it is still not delivered, i cancel it and got my money back after around 30 days!!!
Then same again, Ordered Asus K55VM of ~55K, brought with EMi so cost around 57.5K and after shipment they told me to supply my ID proof and all other personal info by 24Hours!!! I refused because the card already said the amount is deducted and on my credit card bill, so why should I provide my personal details!!!

I haven't got the money back yet and they initiated it yesterday since, the shipment reached back to their warehouse on early week. This behavior cost me a 2.5K extra as interest on my credit card.
Is anything still left to say about FlipKart!!!

just an addition, I was customer of FlipKart from the day it started and now I do NOT do buying with them. :-x
