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

Glad you mentioned that. Sound is outstanding. The mini-subwoofer adds a little kick to whatever your listening to. It can get very loud, but it never distorts.

 

Thanks for your feedback!

 

Whats keeping Samsung so long from releasing the 3D version with 7970? Dont they release 2D and 3D at once? My expected release date is in a month, what do you guys think? Any leaked info?

 

So does this thing have a user upgradable MXM GPU?

 

Availability of HD7970M is limited, and somehow alienware "stole" the first shipments, so clevo, samsung etc is next in line, which means late may/early june.

 

How do you know Dell is getting the first batch of cards? According to Dell/Alienwares site, it says the following for the HD7970M: Preliminary Ship Date: 6/1/2012. The sales rep from Dell also confirmed this date when I talked to them. I have not been to the Alienware site in a long time. Well organized but man Alienware is ugly.

 

To other owners, do you guys keep the laptop is gaming mode when your plugged in?

 

Not being funny but if you got the NP700G7C model...you aint getting 3 and 1/2 hrs on battery in any mode unless its in idle which is also in doubt. Maybe 3 x 1/2 hrs if your lucky.

 

I spoke to a rep around April 29th ish to build a laptop with 7970M. At that time, they said they have it in stock and the preliminary ship date was around... May 15th.

2 Days later I spoke to them again and they said they dont have it in stock and the late was moved to May 25th.

I dont know, maybe they are BSing? Maybe hey had it and went OOS? But I dont give a damn, I dislike dell and AW. Ugly, expensive, and they would sell you 1 screw less to make more money off you.

 

Really? While the plug type is a problem always, in terms of volume the actual unit is on a par with the Air, if not more compact.

 

How would you know? I'm getting around 3hrs and 5min with power saver mode with the keyboard light off.

 

Drowningshrimp, do you have Battlefield 3? If so, can you play on ultra/high?

 

Unfortunately, not on the PC. I just entered the PC gaming world. If benchmarks are free, I'll do as many as you want.

 

I know people have seen them in Samsung stores Asia.

 

I found the Marigold in the Gallery for the Canadian site:

NP700G7C-S01CA - GALLERY | SAMSUNG

 

On 3D Mark Vantage, I am getting a GPU score of 21564.

 

with GTX 675 ? excellent !!! how do u fill about the laptop? heat ?

 

i just put my amsung NP700G7C-S01US Series 7 Gaming forsale in the market place here, I love it just to heavy for me to carry around with me, I had a friend get it for me TigerDirect, and they will not let me return it, only exchange it for same one. there nothing wrong with the one I got. just to heavy.

 

Why would you get a 17 inch laptop that is advertised to be ~8.5 pounds and be surprised at its weight and limited mobility?

Why did your "friend" order it from tigerdirect instead of you?

Your post strikes me as odd.

Oh well, if the computer is not for you, such is life. Too bad, its a beauty!

 

I couldn't ask for a better laptop. Really. The entire laptop is cool to the touch except the exhaust vents in the back. Which is fine because that is where the heat should go. The fans do an outstanding job of keeping the laptop cool. AWESOME

 

MZbiologist,

my friend got it for me 1 he gets a discount and 2. tigerdirect is 1 1/2 from my house. since he works in Durham where TD is. and its the Power Brick that really puts this over the top

 

tkx! i was planning to buy ASUS G75 , then was Sager N9170. But now i want the Samsung one (much better design ~~) , and i think i will try to wait the release of the 3D model with HD7970!!! hha

 

Well, it really is a big damn power brick. One could always buy two power bricks, leave one at their place of work, one at home, and rely on a battery here and there in between. Of course, if you work out of the office/home more than in, then that would not be practical. On the other hand, one could rely on a tablet/iPad on the go.

 

Haha I'm on the same boat as you

 

How much are you selling it for? Just curious?

How much did your friend get it for?

 

I do have a Ipad 3rd Gen. I just bought the other series 7 with gt650 and 1inch its alot easier to get around with

 

KAmmander,

I asking $1500.00 he got it for me for $1709

 

I'm actually, interested. What state do you live in?

 

North Carolina

 

Can we discuss this over email? jsong011 at gmail dot com.

I was planning to wait for the 7970M but if I can save money, I'm willing to settle for 675M.

 

Trying to buy that Samsung off michellelame71, he wants money order... do you guys think it's legit? He provided me with http://www.heatware.com/index.php

Sorry had to ask here since I dont know where to ask lol thanks community!.

 

I want to give Michellelame the benefit of the doubt, but something seems amiss here.

Getting a brand new $1900 computer for $1500, when computer was bought by someone else....well, as long as you can verify the comp before releasing money, and as long as you do not mind potentially receiving stolen goods...

 

He doesnt want to use ebay or paypal. I dont think there is a way to verify without paying 1st. Seems like a big gamble... blah... any other suggestions? I never heard/used heatware.com

 

Well, also consider this. He said he bought the other Series 7 instead, the one with the GT650. That card only comes on a 17inch laptop. The 15.6 inch series 7 has the AMD 6750. Sure, the 17inch with GT650 is 2 pounds lighter, but it takes up nearly the same space. Its hard for me to fathom a man truly caring about an extra 2 pounds and throwing away a few hundred dollars value, especially when that person says they have an iPad3. Lots of red flags. Even if he is on the up an up, there is no way I'd trust a too good to be true offer with these flags.

 

Yeah thanks MZ, with the economy being so crap these days there are more scammers. I think I will play it safe and pay the full price =*( Thanks for the input MZ, saved my life lol.

I'm not calling him a scammer, I think I will just play it safe. Unless ebay/paypal comes into play.

 

Do any models come with 120hz displays in the 17 inch?

 

Not yet, but they will in (hopefully) a few weeks.

 

hi guys, been looking at this thread for so long and waiting for the 7970m release.
but seeing that the released 675m version in US for so long, but yet to reach singapore. the 7970m version gonna take even much longer.
so i am looking to importing from amazonUS..

do you guys think i will have problem at power plug, waranty etc?



if the power plug is US version, will it be difficult to replace it with the UK version "that triangle"

 

Heatware is a feedback system that shows your transaction record, no matter which forum you go to. It's similar to an ebay feedback score. He seems legit, as I know some of the people he's had transactions with on XS based on the heatware record. I would still use caution though. Makes no sense to have that many heatware feedback and not accept paypal. I don't imagine every online transaction he's done was by money order.

michellelane71, I would add your notebookreview account on your heatware profile to prove you're the owner of it. I could have also named myself a michellelane71 on another forum and linked to that same heatware profile. Here's my profile, and you can see I linked myself to forums that I go to:

WhiteFireDragon | HeatWare.com

PS- I would keep the buying/selling discussion in the sale section. It's semi off-topic discussion in the main thread.

 

whitefiredragon i add nbr to my profile

I did take paypal few times, and I had a bad experience., anyone can feel free to contact anyone on my heatware. and I agree please no more talking about this in this tread keep it in MY FS section of my ad on here on NBR

thanks for the advice WFD

 

I have bought my notebooks from US over the last years, and we use the Euro type. There are many shops here in Norway that sell the complete cable with the right plug. Its easy to find one that sell one with the mickey mouse female plug on the other end.

 

Linkent lives in Singapore, so if he buys the mickey mouse head UK plug from EG accessories it will work nicely. Alternatively, use an adapter.

 

Or you just get a new power cable. The socket on the PSU will be standard. Most likely the C5 connector. You might already have a spare cable.

I Setup paypal i smell the fees

 

thx for the info guys..
so i could just buy a plug to match it to my country rite?
no need to change the power supply or something?
like those playstation.. iirc the voltage is different and i need to lower it..

really hope 7970m come out soon, diablo 3 in a week..
have to play it on my intel gma laptop with 15fps

 

Question to the owners of this beast does it comes with 2 momentus XT 750GB or only one and a regular one for storage? because I saw this on the website

1.5TB S-ATA II Hard Drive (7200RPM, 750 GB x 2) with ExpressCache 8 GB

 

here the drive in them http://www.amazon.com/HITACHI-0J12283-Travelstar-internal-notebook/dp/B005B103JG

 

that means the motherboard has some kind of cache SSD because it says 8GB cache like the momentus XT cool

 

All 7 series laptops has 8Gb SSD onboard. it looks like this:

 

I'll be interested if you can pick 120HZ because the only way this shows on Nvidia control panel as an option on the change resolution is if your screen supports it
