Samsung 2012 Series 7 Chronos (NP700Z3, NP700Z4 & NP700Z5 series) Owners Lounge

Why do people have so much problems with the pre-installed software? Only ones I removed was Norton Internet Security and Microsoft Office (since I was installing a real one).

Other than that, the other stuff is pretty small and doesn't run in the background or anything, so might aswell just leave it alone.

Or do you guys have alot more crap installed on your machines? Atleast these Swedish ones didn't feel like it was filled with useless stuff. All my ASUSes have been a lot worse!

Anyone think that if this laptop had a 1080p screen, and optional SSD it would be the best laptop out now?

Screen wise, I prefer 900p but a better quality panel please. SSD wise, no comments. I'd rather self upgrade since preinstalled SSDs are often overpriced.

A question, which is really the best for the battery? To use the charge to 80% max feature, or let it charge to 100% all the time?

And I rarely disconnect my laptop from its powersupply, which clearly should affect this I guess.

Could someone post the model number of the optical drive (under Device Manager) so i can check what caddies that may fit inside the series 7

I am also interested in the answer to this question, should one use the 80% feature if connected to mains the majority?

The optical drive is a "Matsh*ta DVD-RAM UJ8A7AS" model. Replace the * with i. The forums software blocked it

Just FYI, according to my Device Manager I have the same.

Just a reminder. For those of you who think the colors a little off on your display, use my ICC profile which can be found here:

Samsung Series 7 Chronos (NP700Z4 & NP700Z5) and ICC profile

I used spydercolor for calibration, so it should be pretty accurate, if not perfect. There's also instructions in there on how to use my profile to automatically calibrate the colors.

Use the 80% feature. The shallower the discharge, the better the longevity of your integrated, non-removable and non-replaceable battery.
