Ha Pulled the plug on Dell Inspiron 15r SE, I called up dell and canceled the order:p....dell promised delivery by 9th n now they said it'll take another few days, so canceled it......I went to a local dealer n booked this samsung beauty:mrgreen: will get it by tomorrow morning.....The screen is just beautiful at 1600x900 :razz:....and its way thinner than the 15R....there's no backlit keyboard:| but that's no Deal breaker ...

Congrats :cool:
i7 or i5 :twisted:

*harding.homelinux.org/gallery/OddsandSods/I-dunno-lol.jpg I think it is because of GDDR5 memory and core-i7.

But even gt660's dont get such a score :-o Overclocked ??
i7 wont change 3dmark06 scores. Its just GPU

Yes, the screen would be definitely better because of samsung panel, they put the thin bazel in it so looks more slim. This makes it better than any hp or dell laptop.

No, may be because of latest drivers, the performance in gaming increased much, almost 25% in new games.

Flinging dell left me in the middle of nowhere. Its too late to pull the plug now. Firstly cuz the build is complete and secondly cuz i can't afford anymore delays. Th i7 and backlit better worth all the trouble :/

Me envy you har :p Congo on the great lappy. After the delays the dell caused and due to superior vfm, I'd suggest everyone samsung.

@har : I think its because of certified drivers. Theres a beta on the site now.

NVIDIA DRIVERS 304.79BETA

I dunno if it'll increase the rating or not.

Dude, don't use the f word mods can punish you, its against TDF rules.
I would like to say if you don't need a PC to carry around out, its better to spend money on a gaming desktop.

Yep, my bad...
By the way, after a re-run the new Windows score of my lappy is now as below:

How did you get such a high score. Even I am only expecting only 12500 for my samsung.

check this statement in rider result "Non default settings were used in benchmark. Result is not comparable to other results." thats why he is getting high score compareable to other.

It's the HP 2000-2116TU + Upgrade of (Corsair Force 3 120GB + 8GB DDR3 1600 FSB Starlite RAM) ~ all comes under 43K. What's your thought? Is it a VFM? BTW, I do NOT play game on laptop, so, chooses the cheapest one and then upgraded it.

I am using beta 12.7 drivers, may be thats why it has more score check my version it is 8.98 different from others. I don't why it is showing non default setting.

Thanks:), yea I guess i was lucky, the dell rep said i'd get it by the 9th but even yesterday the status showed "work in progress":-x so I canceled n went for samsung......btw it doesn't matter if we buy a lap with the best conf, in a months time it'll be old n somethin new will have replaced it...so, cheers n enjoy your 15R :)

Btw does anyone know why Samsung hasn't updated their website?? it seems they don't give the same importance to laptops as given to smartphone's.:p

It shows non default setting because at default setting resolution is 1280x1024 and in your result is with 1024x768 resolution.
Nvidia 650m 3DMark 06 score is 13676 at default setting(1280x1024)

Can you please upload your score with default setting(1280x1024).

Hello guys..
Bought the i7 model in the evening for 57000 from local shop in Nagpur. I didn't even plan to buy it today, but the shop had stock.
I've been following this thread for quite some time so I guess pics are unnecessary.
As many have already said before the lappy is awesome...
The specs are mind boggling and the weight is comparatively lighter. Also the screen is just too good to be in such a cheaper laptop.

Installing witcher 2 right now...
Will post benchmark soon.
