Hi all, am Planning to Purchase the Samsung series 5 np550 p5c s02in and need your valuable inputs.

Ok so here goes my needs and i think this machine can handle them easily
-Occasional gaming (mostly nfs series)
-Raw file processing especially batch processing, here am expecting a better processing speed.

Ok so now the most concerned part, the warranty. Though am purchasing it from India, may not be using it here so need some insight on international warranty, somewhere i saw the international warranty sticker on the lap but in flipkart its mentioned as domestics warranty so someone please clarify me.

second thing is the heating and throttling issue, i know that the latest models after the bios update is free from such issues so would like to know the further details like any version number or manufacturing date etc of the latest models.

as the item is out of stock in flipkart and few other websites, am planing to get it from a local dealer(62k is what he's quoting ) so it would be very helpfull if someone update me with the specific version which i have to look for.

thanks

I contacted them few days back, as per dell executive, they only provide onsite support. Even if i have full cover, i cant claim it abroad. Later i saw the below page where its mentioned as the samsung 550 comes with 2year extended warrenty

Have a look at this page
Compusoft Systems online store Samsung NP550P5C-S02IN Compusoft Systems online store

Also here in This thread, saw a fellow members post claming the same

You should better talk to officials regarding to this. They will help you better in this talk and flipkart is just like a shopkeeper, it just sales whatever the item comes from the manufacturer. Also take a look on Asus G55 series laptops from amazon.com, it comes with international warranty for sure.

almost all laptops have international warranty, atleast for one year. maybe extended warranty will not apply.

the laptop is definitely a worth buy and looks more premium that how it looks in the site and in the video.go for it.i would recommend you to go for i7 model as it has a bluray drive and a better processor at a very nominal increase of 6k.any good bluray player itself costs 10k and it can easily be connected to a home theatre. there is no throttling.I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ON THE THIS FACT"THERE IS NO THROTTLING ENOUGH AS THIS WAS THE ONLY REASON HOLDING ME BACK IN BUYING THIS LAPTOP.MY SKEPTICISM INCREASED WHEN I SAW A VIDEO POSTED BY A MEMBER ON YOUTUBE.I CAN TOTALLY ASSURE YOU NO SUCH ISSUE EXISTS NOW
