Yay finally got my sammy i7 version.... here in bangalore
Anyway guys.... i want to format my full laptop and install a clean windows with no bloatware of samsung.... can i install the Intel drivers from any external source (internet)... and is it advisable to do so as i will manually upgrade each and every aspect of the laptop (like BIOS,GPU,etc)
How much it cost you ? You have any throttling problem or high temp problem when you play games more than 5 or 6 hours ?
If not than i am definately gone buy sammy instead of DELL!

Just see whether u were running anything in the background ?? (this includes browser). If so shut down all unncessary processes and run again. If possible upload the hdtune graph here.
The HDD (only 5400 rpm) is a real Achilles heel for this laptop. It is like buying a ferrari and driving it on a road with pothholes and humps
I have benchmarked my system (the i7 one) with 3Dmark and PCmark and I am putting the scores below. Can someone else do the same so that I can be sure my PC is OK
3DMark : P2417 (P means Performance settings)

PCMark : 2572

Have you played High End games like NFS RUN or MP3 ?
Having any problem with laptop or temp issue ?
i just asked because i am thinking of buying S02 in this week !
please tell me it worth buying or not ? i have to buy ?
Hi,guys i need help from the user of series 5 550P-S02 or say opinion !
i am thinking of buying samsung series 5 P550-S02 in this week and i am a extreme gamer so i want to know that i have to buy it as there is problem of Heating of Laptop while gaming ?
The problem is solved or already there if problem is not solved than which one i have to in this range ?
and how is DELL INSPIRON 15R SE with i7 and 2GB Graphics and 8GB of RAM ? Any suggestions guys ?
I have the S02 laptop, bought it from a local dealer last week.
I have been stress testing and benchmarking the laptop the entire week and playing some games on it (MW3, Crysis 2 and Skyrim)-> I am not a bigtime gamer, just playing for testing
The laptop heats up very quickly (mine touched 90deg on the processor and 88 on GPU) and it seems you can boil an egg on it. So do not consider long gaming sessions without a cooling pas
The only other problem I am facing is because of the sluggish HDD (5400 rpm) that they have put in this comp. Check my previous posts on this issue. I am planning to replace it with a 7200 rpm disk
On the performance side there is no compromise, I am running skyrim in ultra and MW3 in full mode and gaming for hours and not getting any problems (perfectly smooth gameplay). I will give u stats on crysis 2 by evening
The dell 15R SE got a price tag of 59,990 (excluding tax). with taxes it will touch 63k. I got samsung for Rs 58.5k including tax
The Radeon 7730 in dell is nowhere near the GT650M (*www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of-Laptop-Graphics-Cards.130.0.html)
Dell does not have Blu-Ray drive (Not a big deal however)
The dell does not include 2 year warranty (but has accidental protection which samsung doesnt have)-> Samsung you get 2years warranty if you buy before Nov 1
Dell has onsite warranty which samsung doesnt have and dells onsite support is the best (my old lap was dell)
I hope i have enlightened you somewhat. Now its your call to decide upon.

@nick191: I have not yet noticed any drop in FPS yet. See previous posts in this thread-> It seems that some pieces are defective and they only have this issue. I dont know abt Counterstrike GO as I have not even seen this game in the flesh. Downloading is not at all a problem. I have not switched off my system for three days now. Still its on utorrent downloading BF3
@ all: I am planning to upgrade HDD for performance. I have started a thread here . Please reply if you got some ideas
Please benchmark your systems using 3Dmark, PCMark, HDtune etc and post them here so that we all know we have not got defective pieces
@sj2202: The display seems good. However I have not yet done any benchmarking on it. I will post if i do it. Can u suggest some software for this purpose ??
