Why do you want to disable it? Your battery back up will be nearly halved.

Yup Thanks....I just wanted to play a video using the my graphic processor but niether vlc or Mpc were allowed to change rendring....

After that i googled and found optimus cant be turned off ....its a good feature although... saves battery.... :)

The final output goes to the display through IGP not GPU :shock::shock:

Hi, I'm new to this thread and wanted to know if anyone from Bangalore has(or planning for) purchased the i7 version of this laptop. What was the shop and price quoted. Dealers I spoke with are quoting around 60K.

I think one of them bought it for 57k. I will be buying it by next weekend. Hope I will get at this price :)

Nways guys, I'm kinda fed up with the constant drops in fps while charging:-x, I can't play on battery every time :-x, I think I'm gonna return it n ask for a refund:-(..

and also there's a new BIOS version, The old version is P03AAA, new one's P04AAA, get it from samsung's website, under firmware section.

Try calling Samsung CC. It might be due to the low powered PSU. :-x
In the mean time try reducing the processor performance to reduce power requirements when plugged in to AC supply. :|
All this throttling issues have got me worried as I am going to get mine this week... :-(

Dammit. I have infinite evo. Even while playing nfs hot pursuit 2010 the frames dropped from 60 to 42 just for few secs but this is happening alot. I am not so happy with this throttling as i thought it would be only in BF3 and MP3 kinda games. Or infinte evo is not good for this laptop. Temps are 80c after 1/2hr of play

I am in US and going to buy a new laptop. I was till now considering the sony s15 but this thread caught my attention. I tried to find the model mentioned here but in US it is only available in 768p resolution. But i found another laptop namely the 7 series NP700Z5C.
This is Ivy Bridge 900p laptop.
Anyone has any ideas as how good this is ?
