Finally got my laptop - s01. Just in time to register for 2 year warranty.

Installed fresh windows 7, downloading drivers now. Need to download around a GB! too slow :(
Any faster way to install drivers? What's in the 22GB Samsung recovery partition? Any way to install driver from there?

^ stop downloading the driver's, just download "easy software manager" from software section in support, its a 12.33 MB file, all drivers are in the 22gb partition, this has been told many times in this thread......

ran 3dmark 11, score P2324 with latest bios update and 306.02 beta driver. I guess that is all right for the S01. No throttling at all and the cpu multiplier reached max 30.73 (I guess when it was running the cpu tests). But 3dmark11 doesn't stress both cpu and gpu at same time (gpu tests are totally gpu limited and cpu tests only tests the cpu). Max CPU temp 84, GPU temp: 72. Will play some games to check for throttling.

^ I didn't get replacement I got a refund, with that refund I bought the i7 ver, and I went directly to the service center, I don't know if there is a pick up and drop service, call them and ask.......

I called them and asked for the service, they said they can arrange pick up and drop service. But now I think way if the guy run away with laptop. Samsung would easily say it's not our fault.

lol, that's an unlikely situation, you will be given a slip and you can ask the name of the guy who's going to pick it up...

Ok guys so today i came across a samsung brochure from one of the dealers, and in the configuration of NP550P5C-S02IN it is written that it comes with nvidia geforce 520MX 1GB graphics card, instead of GT650M 2 GB?

So is the brochure outdated or latest? Has samsung changed the config of s02 or its just a misprint?

I saw that later so couldn't ask the dealer, can only ask him on Monday now.

So does anybody has any idea?

ok what if some other gut shows up and say that guy isn't available so i have to come. Then what will I do in that sitiaution? I won't give him and my father won't let me. Then?

I don't want to go service center. I have one week of time so I want to check their service.

Hi Folks,

I have just joined this site and this is my first post.
I bought mine (S02) on the 4th. I have Nero (DVD decrypter), they do not identify any blank DVDs. It recognizes the recorded ones and
plays them fine. I tried to update the firmware as well, it says that it is up-to-date.

Would like to know if anyone faced a similar issue.

Rgds

There is something fishy going on guys!!!

1. Samsung E-store says that the S02IN is out of stock with the company. (Called CS, he confirmed)
2. Flipkart is showing that this product is out of stock (again, 2nd time, last week it was out of stock, again they said they had stock and now this.)
3. No other online retailer has this model in stock, not even eBay.

Is there a chance of Samsung discontinuing this product???

This product is in high demand, even Samsung might have not expected such a response:p. the probability of this being discontinued is highly unlikely, the S01IN is still in stock, see this........the S02IN is out of stock because everyone bought it:wink:, wait for some time, it will be stocked again....
