Samsung Series 5 NP550P5C-S05IN Laptop (Core i7 3rd Gen/8 GB/1 TB/Windows 8/2 GB)

Cheeky flipkart man! Got this lappy for 58K from Nehru Place (+free goodies)... Displaying a 61.9K price tag (almost 62K) on the site clearly shows they are covering their online server costs etc. by advertising their site as an "Online Saving Store"... This is not cool on flipkart's part. However, its needless to say this laptop is a LEGEND in true means! Pros: -Ivy Bridge i7 Quad-Core @ 2.4 Ghz (with integrated Intel 4000 graphics) Hyperthreading is one of the great features of this chipset. Not many softwares/games use Hyperthreading currently, but you can be sure its gonna be utilised in the future, so this makes it a future proof laptop. -2GB NVIDIA GT 650m Based on Kepler GK107 Architecture and offering 384 CUDA Cores (which is quite impressive actually), makes this is the best mobile graphic card at this price. It will run any game at medium/high settings (Compatible with this OS in this laptop of course) which releases even 3-4 years from now. GDDR3 version (which this one is) is slower compared to GDDR5 but can be faster at times as it is clocked higher than GDDR5 version. -8 Gigs of RAM (More than enough) -15.6 Inch LED (16:9 aspect ratio, offering HD) No words for the screen clarity, its super clear. Samsung is known for its LEDs and has lived up to its name on this laptop. -JBL Speakers Man you gotta listen to these to believe it, AWESOME is the word! Soundalive audio enhancement is good too. -Windows 8 64-bit Super fluid & breezy to use... Has its lack of, or shall we say missing features, however it is better than Win7 on some aspects, but possibly the best suited OS for THIS laptop. You get used to it & start loving it once you get acquainted with it. But still Win7 is the best OS for "GAMERS" -Blu-ray Disc Drive Blu-ray is not that popular in India right now, DVD is mostly used. But you can bet it will be the bread & butter of people by a few years. Again, this makes the lappy future proof. -1 TB Hard Disk Makes sure there is no need of external hard drives or expansions. SSD is missed, but boots are fasts so its okay. -Preinstalled Samsung Softwares They improve the using experience of this laptop. Both Desktop and Metro apps provided preinstalled by Samsung which is really professional on Samsung's part. Feels like Samsung cares for its loyal customers, which it really does. Updating drivers was never this easy! Cons: -Hard Disk does not have partitions, only C drive, but its okay. -No Indication for Caps Lock & Num Lock (on-screen or physical) -Heats up while playing games via Graphic Card... But cools down as faster than it heats once you get back to regular programs. (Tip: Use a good quality cooling pad such as Notepal X3) -5400 RPM can be slow but still its quite swift in file transfers. Its a minor con and can be neglected seeing the long list of Pros this laptop possess. -Battery needs frequent charging, but you're getting this for a reasonable price, so its okay. -2.5KG can be a bit bulky, but the streamline design of this laptop overcomes this con. Its eye-candy really just to take a look at it. -Touchpad gets a wee bit unresponsive to Win8 Gestures, but clicks and pointer precision is as good as any other Touchpad. The touchpad heats up too. -No backlit keyboard. And the only key this laptop misses is the "Pause/Break" key which is required for some software development etc. but this laptop is meant for personal use so its okay. (Notice how many times I used the word "ITS OKAY"? That's because I'm utterly impressed with this wonderful piece of technology) Conclusion: All in all a well-built & well-designed laptop physically, and a well-oiled one on the software department. Its a "Paisa Vasool" Notebook and a very good deal, BUT only if you get it at the right price! ;) If you posses the right resources to own this laptop, and if you're looking for a Gaming Laptop, or just a high-spec'd one.... JUST GO FOR IT!
