You can get onsite if you extend the warranty, see this, Samsung smart warranty, the default warranty is carry-in.....

@pratyush: Why you think temps are not fine. Ivy Bridge supposed to get hot hot hot during heavy task. 105 is extreme so i guess 101 is ok. Yeah but certainly its not good for other components around thats why said it will reduce life span.
@zenomz: And don't compare to other brand laptops as they might have different (cooling) design inside. Compare with other NP550 you will know what is wrong with your NP550 as here we have perfect NP550s.

@swaplin....there are many lappies w/ ib n runs cool n there max temps are 88(avg.) n if a proccy can go upto 105 C that doesn't mean that 101C is fine...why don't can we compare it to competitors? sammy should have invested in cooling area!I know how can these temps kill mobo...
same happened w/ my hp....result-fried mobo
ps-there are very few owners whose sammy working cool

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
