Hello everyone,
I am desperately moving from one forum to another in search of a good laptop(My first ever :lol:).
I was about to buy the dell inspiron 17r SE(64k) but then I saw this.
I am very much confused now.:-?
My biggest concern is quality and warranty.
I may not be able to buy another laptop in 3-4 years. :-(
What should I do?
Should I go for the 17r(because of DDR5 GPU and Accidental Damage protection) or should I go with samsung?
Any help will be acknowledged.. :razz:

I've to admit, this looks awesome in real pics. I wonder why Samsung placed those crap pics on their website. Difference between those pics and these pics is day and night. Congrats dan4u, I've recieved my Dell just now.

What are your primary needs with priorities?
And even though the GPU in Samsung is DDR3, but still faster than 7730M of 15r.

17r se : screen bigger but not better in resolution, 650M GPU clock definitely better but not by a very large margin, 1kg heavier,speakers(Wave Maxx Audio) good but not better than those in Samsung, damage protection
Samsung NP550 : screen awesome(smaller but more resolution, hence clarity), speakers(JBL) more than awesome,
no damage protection, better CPU, Bluray, more RAM, price cheaper by 8k(50.5k for i5 and 57k for i7)
:razz:

BTW I think it looks better too!
:-D
And the guy(dealer) told me that all high range samsung laptops that he has sold till date very rarely needed repairs or faced problems. I dunno but something told me he was not lying.

Absolutely NO problems bro. Crysis 2 no problems. played asassins creed 2 at ultra for 1 hour at constant 60fps :-D No throttling,no temp problems. SO A BIG NO to your question :-D It doesnt somehow go beyond 60fps whether at low or high :-?

My dealer also told me samsung laptops are one of the most reliable. He was also dead against dell. Said quality in the last 1 year deteriorated. Last years XPS was a microwave oven !!
