Samsung Series 7 Gamer NP700G7C with AMD Radeon HD 7970M/Geforce GTX 675M

[hfm]

Wow, that was a long read! I think 80% of the posts in this thread have something to do with 7970m speculation.

I know this is relatively light in comparison to other 17" lappys, but how big/heavy is the power brick that comes with it? I'm going to be toting this baby around the world, along with my M11xR2, and my underwater DSLR camera system / housing, and I'm dreading the weight.

I've also seen mention of the lights on the dials that are somewhat annoying to some people. Is there no way to turn these off? I typically kill my backlighting with the M11x, so this is probably something that I'm going to dislike. Buying it anyway though. It's $1,777 at B&H right now with free shipping.

Thanks!

The keyboard backlighting can be controlled. The flashing-to-the-sound red rings and the turbo blue light I don't think are controllable. I don't even notice them any longer, was easy to tune out. I do still wish I could control it just for the sake of it. I got mine for about the same price.

The one saving grace is I would imagine whatever they do for the 3D model be it 7970M or 680M, I am optimistic that the board would be able to be purchased from them as a part.

is it me or when im browsing the web using chrome, it has a minor drag like lag when scrolling. could this be because of the internet? i imagined this laptop to be super smooth when scrolling while browsing.

also switching the monitor from 60/120hz makes it wayy better.

by the way i was talking about the trackpad.

I have the same steam glitch, but it's harmless. I don't have any of your other issues, but I will play around with the volume touch button while gaming to see what happens.

hey guys i was wondering which driver you guys were running with with the 675m? i just downloaded the newest beta which is 304.48, dont know if betas are even stable but i could not find any drivers for the 675m on the nvidia site via autodetect/manual search..

I'm still using 296.01 that came with it. Seems to be working fine for everything.

[Shuru421]

I've been with this thread since the beginning, there will be no 7970m model anytime soon. It has a blueray read and a DVD read/write.
