New Samsung Series 7 NP700Z7C-S01US Laptop i7 3615QM 650m Review!

[tetrium]

I'm so sad...I have the 15.6" model but I wish I had the full HD screen and the nVidia GT 650M for playing Battlefield 3. Sucks that the 15 inch model gets only a Radeon card with crappy graphics switching while the 17 inch gets a super powerful card with Optimus as well...

Tetrium, go for Asus brand new 56VZ-DS71, like i did
Or perhaps Samsung will come out with similar model soon.

Tetrium: I just watched this new Samsung Series 7 15" inches at youtube. This has Nvidia 650M, but not sure about 1920x1080

paulnelson88,

Can you please run following tests with stock CPU/GPU and latest nvidia driver.
1. HWbot.org Heaven test with Xtreme settings.
Overclocking, overclocking, and much more! Like overclocking.
2. 3DM11 P score
3. 3DM Vantage P score

I will have My Asus with DDR3 version of 650M soon and then i run same tests.
So finally we can judge the difference between DDR3 and DDR5 versions of this Kepler.

This looks like the 17 inch version. On Samsung canada's website you can see that the 15 inch version has a 640M with GDDR5. Although I hope they release a 15 inch version with the 650M...

This is 15 inches & it has 650M. You can see it in video. Maybe 15" model on Samsung Canada has lower version too like 6490M & 6750M in Sandy Series.

I am happy that it has replacement battery

Just got the g75 today!
I don't plan on using the computer much for gaming, but more for CAD modeling (solidworks) and photoshop.

I've never had a matte screen before, but on some white web pages, I see a lot of grainyness. Does the samsung have this?

Now that I read your post about the samsung having a better screen it makes me consider ordering one (bestbuy) since there were none in stock.
I also got the asus from bestbuy, so there shouldn't be an issue with returning it.

I know it might be hard, but is there a way to post a comparison of screen quality? Also, have you run any 3d vantage numbers on the samsung? What is the rated battery life with the optimus?

Thanks!

Still working atm on a jobsite but the screen on the Asus G75 has a odd glow to it with the white background, gaming wise you can't see it. The Samsung 1080 screen is nicer than a Mac book pro if you ask me.

Looks like the 650m gets right under about 5-7% within the 660m it got warm but not hot they did a great job on the cooling for 1" thick. The sound on the Samsung is much better and so is the wifi. Asus slightly better graphics and a extra bay for a hdd. I think the few extra bucks is worth the Samsung. I can see myself taking the Samsung everywhere on the go. The Asus would sit on my desk. Really if it sat on a desk why not build a killer gaming system for that prices

Best Buy will take it back just tell them your upgrading and spending more money.
