Guys if any of you are planning to get 5 series, I'd suggest wait a bit. I think Samsung may launch new series S03 and S04 sometime soon. I found it accidentally.

To find yourself, go to searchModel and type NP550 in the box and click search.

They haven't updated the website yet with those new models, but these models are in their database. I tried searching on the internet but no info is there about the newer models, so who knows what new features they might include in the newer ones. (I am hoping for a 17 incher and Full HD )

Hi guys,

I have almost zeroed in on buying this laptop either today or tomorrow.
I live in Mumbai.

I was confused between 15r SE and NP550.

Pls can someone answer my following queries:

1. 15r SE comes with an HDMI cable in the package, what abut the NP550?

2. How good is Samsung service as compared to Dell's ?
p.s. by service i meant the support and quality of customer care and warranty related comparisons.

3. The backlit kb in 15r se is another thing thats keeping me from buying NP550 but the 650M in NP550 is keeping me from buying 15r SE !!! Pls Help me.. What do i do? I am stuck in the middle of these two laptops....

4. Are NP550 drivers and preinstalled apps available in a packaged DVD or in their website? coz, i will b installing W7 Ultimate in it and i will need these drivers

5. How about a comparison of battery life of both the laptops:
i) playing 1080p HD movie 3 hrs long
ii) GTA IV, COD BOps for 2~3 Hrs

I have been researching for almost 2 months now and i am tired... pLs help me guys...

Hey guys, I finally bought the i7 model for 57k with bag!! The salesman there mailed my invoice to get the additional 1 yr warranty as it was the last day!! But i am a little disappointed by its performance, i mean it takes 10 seconds to open up the webcam app, 6-7 seconds to open manage by right clicking my computer and the overall performance isn't THAT i7 fast, my 6 yr old dual core gave just about similar performance..

I tried removing some bloatware but it didn't help, the experience index is the same 5.9, i want to benchmark it if there is some defect, also the max usb transfer rate i got from my old usb 2.0 hdd was 26-29mbps, i hv had better results with my friends laptop which was a core 2 duo

 

[pratyush997]

^^First time when u open any app it takes time cuz anti virus scans it

Exactly. Aussie S02 version is i7 with Full HD and 17" screen. Hope something like this here too.

well, i have took a plan from a local ISP in delhi near my home, ANI Network, whose giving me airtel connection, been using it for past 3 yrs, and now my net speed is 800kbps (100KBps speed on IDM), unlimited, and i am just paying 600rs per month, previous month, my usage has reached above 100GB (lots of movies and softwares in july), and still i am getting full speed, no FUP in my case..
And he uses some peering for some torrents, so for some torrents i even get 300-400KBps download speed)..
Still remember when i started with 128kbps connection 3 yrs ago for same cost...

guys is it safe to buy the sammy i5 from flipkart.?? offering at Rs. 51484 ??

 

[antisocialbratt]

If you can find it locally then why would you wait for around 4 or 5 days to get it from flipkart. Although Flipkart is awesome and they have never let me down, I'd suggest to try to get it from a local shop. If some problem arises then you'd know who's collar to grab
