sorry for the late reply..
If ur in for gaming and programming aspect, i5 is sufficient for you.. its just that i7 ll be future proof.. as of now i5 ll suffice ur needs(gaming on all current games in market and the software tools u mentioned) and ur lappy ll be relatively cooler compared to lappy with i7 processor..
so if i7 not available u can go wid i5.. no issues at all..

My budget is 70k.
I don't think I have many good options in this budget apart from sammy.
Was thinking about 17r Turbo(1080p)...but I am getting i5 with it for 70k.
Should I go for Lenovo?...that model has 768p screen....I have heard that they are pathetic!

well the screen resolution does matter to some, 720p looks ancient in front of fhd.
Its always advised to keep your laptop plugged in when gaming for performance boost(at least i though that was the norm), when plugged out your lappy has to deal with power management tools, and on my dell inspiron 15r(i3, 5450m) when having all power options set to high performance (plugged in and unplugged), theres big performance drop when unplugged while gaming.
Well iv ordered this lappy on 27th dec, and it dispatched today
, should have it early next week. And after looking deeper into this lappy after ordering iv seen afew people with the throttling problems an all that... which sucks. I found this thread and read through the entire thing up to your comment im replying to (page 126 or something), GREAT THREAD!, Very informative.Im in ireland and ordered from the UK for cheapest deal (835euro) for the i5, GT650m 2gb ddr3, 6gb ram, 1366 x 768 display. Its the "S03UK" model.
As i havnt yet read through this whole thread, the models talked about here so far are the S01, S02 models, i will continue reading now until the last post ^^
Edit,
Has anyone with the throttling issues tried turning off Hyper threading ? (if the feature is with your processor), HT is not good for gaming.
To do so,
run, msconfig > Boot tab > Advanced options > Click "Number of processors" and select only the amount of physical cores you have, and hit ok, and apply, then hit the prompt to restart your comp
Also has anyone tryed playing DayZ mod on this lappy ?

i have tried numerous alternatives for start menu, the two best i found are paid though, but they provide the best experience according to me..
Start8: One of the best start menu emulators out there, exactly windows 7 looking, and blends with the system well, used it about a month, and don't know why, but certain bugs started to show like dark color, blurred text and finally it stopped working... (maybe it's Stardock product, which well have a not so good reliability in them..
).StartIsBack: Like Start8, this too perfectly emulates windows 7 start menu, and though i am using it for a week only now, it seems to be more stable and works pretty well too...
So you can choose from above two, alternatively Classic Shell (free) is said to be the most stable product as it has been in development for past many years, but it provides a slightly modified 7 style start menu, which does'nt look exactly like win7 start menu, but still looks good, so choice is yours..

Poor Joke!
It's a long time for Haswell processors. May be after June and I don't think Samsung will put that in these models as S05 and S06. Most probably Samsung will launch some new models with Haswell processors.

I installed Easy Software Manager but whenever i launch the app it says " an unknown error has occurred".. its may be coz app is outdated and its new version named SW update is available..
I have SW update installed on my system but it doesnt provide quick starter in the downloads
any other alternative???
