    I'd prefer the next model up NP550P5C-S03AU as it has 1600x900 screen for $100 more.

    Plus don't forget Samsung $100 Gift card that expires on 31st of this month. Both laptops are eligible.

    • Good call. It also has 8GB RAM.

    • Pity OW doesn't have the NP550P5C-S03AU for pricematch. In terms of raw performance (video encoding, gaming, virtualisation), are the two models exactly the same?

      Edit: Forgot about the extra 2GB RAM on the above. Might go for the higher model one if the extra memory improves performance.

      Also, reading the Gift Card promo T&C, is MLN and OW 'participating Australian retail stores'?

    • This is hardly a gaming laptop (the one vid_ghost posted).

      Still, the price is alright and Samsung make good laptops.

        hardly? the 650M is quite good

    • Yeah its a better laptop but the higher rez does tax the GPU more :) but with the other laptop anti aliasing is a must.

    The NP550P5C-S03AU also has a Blu Ray optical drive…

  • Any idea is the GeForce GT650M DDR3 or DDR5 version?

    • DDR3 pretty sure of it.

    What a great deal! Just bought the NP550P5C-S03AU.

    • Yeah much better then Apple garbage, Congrats.. now you only need to put a Samsung 830 256GB SSD in it like i did and watch that thing fly!

    HD (1366 x 768) ???

  • If only it had a 1080 screen :(

    • you wont be able to max the setting on 1080 screen with this CPU. :-)

    I walked through JB HiFi at lunch and they had the same model for $1289… Good deal.

  • How does this compare to the ASUS r501vm s3150v which is around the same price range?

    • This one has a videocard thats 3 times as fast. and has a much better cooling system!
