The Samsung Series 5 550P Laptops Thread

[switch44]

yeah i know but there is a difference of 10k! And im not some extreme gamer but yeah i love playing them on as high graphics as i can. and according to this LINK its not a huuuge difference.
does the 2gb VRAM and 1gb VRAM show up as a huge difference on performance?

 

[nick191]

Okay guys i have an issue. Now i know its a no brainer but :
I just found an offer (my dad did) the hp g6 - 2150 : core i7-3612qm, 6gb ram, 750gbhdd, 1gb ati HD 7670 for approx 38000rs.
I have to decide between this and the samsung np550 - s01IN for 48k.
Do you think the samsung is still the better choice even if im getting the hp for 10k lesser??

1:- Acc. to this Site 234 KWD=48k INR
2:- You live in India, So search one which is available in INDIA

And I have it!
Got it for 53k ( )
But it runs like a dream.
that guy told me to refrain from a total format and reinstallation. and then, there isnt much bloatware on this laptop.. so. i guess i should let it be as it is. idk
i dont have any graphic intensive games currently. but i'll ask around for some.. hoping to start on MP3, Battlefield, etc. for now, its just counter strike source and port royale 2.
the sound quality. is . AMAZING! the speakers work like a dream, without much distortion or anything. and for an audiophle like me, its a welcome surprise!
Again, thank you all for your help! (y)

Gaming continuously for 6 hrs may not show any negative things now but there will be wear and tear and life would decrease drastically. Laptops are not actually made for long hrs of gaming continuously. You can take a break every 2 hrs for high end gaming and go for a walk and come back and again start playing. This way you will save your eyes also
When you are gaming continuously for hrs, Air inside the laptop becomes very hot and the laptop fan cannot circulate the air in high volume. And 90C temp of CPU is not a joke. It is really bad for the CPU. Well for GPU it can handle easily till 105C..After that laptop shutdowns automatically for its safety. If you want to play high end games for hours long then better go for Alienware Mx18 which has the best cooling design or go for desktop . Its just an advice..

so i buy it or not ? i am talking about i7 version ! DELL can handle that much gaming ?

any one who played HIGH END GAMES(AT ULTRA or HIGH setting) for 5 or 6 HOUR constantly on 550P-S02IN please upload your CPU and GPU temp screenshot here !

Well my info was general for all laptops. No laptop is good for 6 hrs of gaming..take a break man after few hrs..why so intensive gaming? You can play games for so long but do buy a new laptop after warranty expires

The 550 is a very cool laptop and i was going to buy one and when i went to the store the guy showed me the demo piece and i loved it , when he opened a new one and switched it on me and my friend noticed that the screen toward the right side edge showed some slight black areas running across the height of the screen i compared it to the demo piece and the difference was there but the sales guy wouldnt agree , he opened another piece and the fault was there and then he says it will take a month to get a new machine, so anyone about to buy the 550 should take care regarding the screen issue but i thank god for the missed oppurtunity as i got a brand new alienware m14x r2 that a guy had brought from US.

 

[nick191]

wow^^ 1600*900 ultra with 16xAA

Which one you have bought ?
if S02IN than having any throttling problem ?

 

[arani]

throttling occurs only when ac adapter is plugged in..is it any shortcoming of the 90W ac adapter?? Should i get a 120W adapter to prevent throttling..somebody please explain..

I need serious help here from any S02 users.
I just opened my Computer Panel, removed a RAM and reinstalled it.

Now windows shows usable RAM as 7.16 GB instead of 8 GB. (I dont rememeber how much it showed earlier)

Can someone tell me how much RAM is shown in their system ??
