Thanks for such a nice article..I think the market share of samsung laptops are increasing a bit...Though the market is quite tough with big giants like Dell, Sony viao, HP, already Toshiba, captured the market to a great extent..

It has windows defender and you MSE wont install as, according to it, windows defender in Win 8 is better than MSE

Hi folks,

I was thinking about buying his laptop while researching online I found to this thread. Seems like users are having issues with Laptop. I'm not very expert in Hardware so lot of thing doesn't make much sense. I know basic hardware that's about it. I'm not a gamer but I do need a good configuration since I use Visual Studio 2012, Photoshop and few other heavy programs. How is battery life for non-gamers? I'm use a Sony Vaio now it's almost 3 years and due to overheat it frequently shuts down. I did clear the dust but it didn't do any good and it was getting very slow (i3, 3Gb) How is driver support by Samsung? I have Windows 8 license so once I buy this I would upgrade are they fast enough updating drivers? Does the generic drivers work with this model (Unlike Sony).

Thanks in advance,
Shyam

for normal, medium use it is the super laptop, for high graphic games> it will randomly heat. other than that, this is awesome (so1,so2.....)

For the normal usage, it's the best!! :doublethumb: I played NFS most wanted and got 2 hours and 40 mins on my sammy ;) (normal settings though). I always gets above 3 hrs as i use this lappy for movies and browsing and reading :) There was even time i got >5hrs (when reading books and stuffs):) Am totally happy with sammy :) I thank Dell for that :) I was those guys who believed that dell is the most awesome company!! They are not!!! and my roommates in the college don't get half of the battery backup that i get :cool: Ultrabooks???? (Go for HP , lenovo and sammy :))) Do check carefully if you are going for DELL!!! :-| I had a bad experience in customer care support and what they say in the website is not what you get when they call you to confirm the PURCHASE :-| Careful ;)

OR

> i5 gen 3
> 8gb ram

I also need to know(if u can) if the laptop has heating issues looking to play world of warcraft maybe 3-5 hrs a day or other high graphic demanding games. can wait about 3months or so.

So far i have found

Samsung 550p S03 ---- not sure if heating solved (60k)
(USA)IdeaPad Y580 Laptop - 20998NU - Dawn Gray ------ heating issue when long gaming hours (49k)
(USA) Alienware -- mx14 does not have gen3 i7 ------- heats and noise but good ventilation's takes care of it. (80k)


IN GAMERS WE BELIEVE :wink:

@coldfury . Btw where did u came u know that y580 has heating issues..


Ideapad Y580 Heat Issues - Lenovo Community


Lenovo IdeaPad Y580

"Heat
The Y580's touchpad measured 91 degrees Fahrenheit after streaming a full-screen Hulu video for 15 minutes. The space between the G and H keys registered 92 degrees, and the bottom of the notebook measured 95 degrees; we don't like to see notebooks getting any warmer than this."


the asus you mentioned it way too costly and the only perk it has it the 16gb ram.....just saying!
btw how is MSI GT60 when is it due to come out?
does y580 give warranty in india?

just found this looks sleek........can anyone shed more light on it?

Samsung NP350V5C-S08IN - similar specs to 550p
