I was kinda hesitant about buying a laptop to replace my 4 year old media/gaming pc. I wanted something that I could connect to my tv in the living room for my main source of entertainment since I play a reasonable amount of games and use Hulu for shows. Also I wanted something that I could take with me and have the same great experience on the road. As of right now I have my gaming mouse and keyboard connected to the device. When setting up Windows, the keyboard on the laptop felt really well positioned and very east to type on. The screen on this looks amazing and a lot of my friends that see it can vouch for that. Being that its a Samsung screen i'm not surprised on how great it looks. What I'm more shocked about is that Samsung makes a great laptop. Ive owned a few Samsung devices in the past such as tvs, phones, and tablets and loved them all. When it came to computing I always stayed with my "goto" brands HP or Asus. Its only been about a week of owning this and I've thrown Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, Torchlight 2, and Deus Ex Human Revolution at it and it seems to run everything on high really well with a high frame rate. I was kind of amazed on how good Guild Wars 2 ran because for some reason that game benchmarks a bit low on other systems. I was getting a reasonable 50-60 fps in major hubs so no complaints there. All in all I know for $1500 I could have built a pretty monster PC but I wanted the mobility and I believe I made the right choice. If your looking for a great laptop this is hands down the best price I've seen and I'm glad that Samsung is stepping up to the plate in gaming mobility.

I did a great deal of research on a new gaming laptop. They can range anywhere from 1500.00-5,000.00 depending on the setup. This laptop was highly rated in at least two online forums/magazines. It's specs were some of the best for the price. I previously owned a Samsung and it was a decent computer, so I bought it. It has run Battlefield and WOT with no problems. Its got a great processor, plenty of memory and a good video card for the price. It comparable to several higher priced models including Alienware. The only issues I have are the power cord, (Its got a huge power adapter, like a brick), it tends to get a little hot when running games on the left side, even though it was advertised as having a great cooling system. But most gaming laptops have this issue. The good things were the screen resolution, gaming speeds and ease of setup. I am not a fan of Windows 8 though. But oh well. It is big and heavy, and would no longer fit into my laptop backpack. But again, its a GAMING laptop, the tend to be bulkier. Overall for the price, you can't beat it. Make sure its the SO2US model! There is a SO1US model that looks very similar, but has weaker specs. Best Buy was selling that model.

I did a lot of research going between Asus, HP, Toshiba (Quismio), and Alienware (Dell). Dollar for dollar the series 7 was top of the line components asides from the video card (Nvidia 675M). Unless you want to pay between 600.00 and 1000.00 more for a laptop the 675m is a great vid card. All in all the standing price almost everywhere is the sugg retail 1899.00 but when I found it for 200 off 1699.00 I had to jump on it ... Another great feature that only a couple laptops provide is adequate cooling .. Asus and Samsung both had dual fans for Proc. and vid card. Laptops are a heat issue from the go and having had a laptop for the past 10 years I knew it was time to make that a key feature in my selection process. If you need to have top of the line with a decent price, this Samsung series 7 gamer is a good value.
As far as features the only complaint I have is windows 8... I am a xp user and windows 8 is a trip to get used to. The series 7 is fast, has tons of space, and the feel is really nice. The keyboard comfortable and has great feel. and the screen is so bright that I have to turn down the brightness when viewing internet pages. Tiger Direct is the vendor I purchased the laptop thru and they got it to me on-time it was due to me between Jan 10 and Jan 15 .. I got it Jan 10.
