Back again after a VERY long time. Disappointed about the performance of this lappy when it runs FIFA 13. The highest I can go without compromising the smoothness of the gameplay while playing is:

Res : 1280*720 (???? with 6GB RAM???)
Quality : Medium
MSAA : Off (??? WTF???? and this is a 650M???)
FPS : No limit
this is just plain disgusting after updating with the new graphics driver.

Temps were good. <95 degrees on HW Monitor. Played for about 1.5 hours.
Very disgusted by the performance though.

FPS I don't know, I guess it was around 1/5th of what notebookcheck.net has mentioned on its website (yes, with the medium settings and no MSAA).
Throttling: no.
Stuttering(maybe throttling, couldn't differentiate as I was too irritated) : yes(2 times)

yes, of course!!
Fifa 12 runs fine on 1600*900 high settings with 2x MSAA
I don't what's wrong with 13.
Maybe its too graphics demanding.
But motebookcheck.net tells me a different story altogether.

hey I play fifa 13 just fine with the highest settings at 1600 x 900.
at 4x MSAA 24-29 fps
2x MSAA 33-37 fps
MSAA off 55-60 fps

I play with 2x MSAA, MSAA really brings down the fps, I prefer FSAA.

also I'm using the stock driver (296.87), none of the beta driver's or the latest WHQL driver works with saints row the third.

I haven't faced throttling since the bios update, but the temps were reaching 94c after 2-3hrs of gaming (bf3, max payne 3 etc), so I reduced the cpu max to 70% while gaming. now the temps don't go above 86-87 in any game. also the battery wear level is still 0% (I remove battery while gaming,though) and there haven't been any other issues. I've finished crysis 2, gta iv, bf3, max payne3 and there have been no problems. No random BSOD's or freezes.
about the customer care, I personally had very good experience with them, if you read my earlier posts you'll know that I got a full refund for the i5 version from the cc in my area. but some users like pratyush got the mobo replaced, even though he wanted a refund, so I think cc really depends on the area .

Thanks very much for such a glad information... And can u plz tell me abt build quality... Heard tht it got poor buid quality as it is made of plastic, like the monitor gets shake when it kept near a table fan. and should have to use it very carefullly. Is it right ?? :-?

I know it depends on user to user, but still it is a question for me....

Hi guys,

Quick question: Has anyone bought the S01 from flipkart? Is it the same build? Because the pic at flipkart is different from the actual pic, but the specs are correct however.
Supplementary Question: Anyone know a reliable dealer in Pune where I can buy for a price lower than flipkart (52192 INR)? I have tried contacting dealers mentioned on Sammy's website and never connected and got finally fed up.

Build Question: So from the lot of comments on this thread I gather for moderate gaming, heavy development environment (Lot of programs running, with virtualized OSes), multimedia (lotsa movies) that this lappy is the best I can get at this price. But to be on the safe side invest on a Cooler Master U2 :).

If yes I am buying the S01 this week. Might just place the order right now if I get a favourable reply :). Heating issues as far as i can see are only there during extended periods of heavy gaming, which i am rarely ever gonna do (max 1-2 hours).
