Series 7 NP700Z5C-S01US Issues

Hello all,

I recently purchased my samsung series 7, and absolutely love it. However, I've run into a few small issues.

1.) the system will occasionally lock up, and while the cursor will move, I cannot actually click on anything/ctrl alt del/power off/etc.

2.) (This is resolved, but still was an issue I faced) The preloaded image, and recovery DVD both would not allow me to get windows updates. I blasted it away and installed win7 pro anyway, as I upgraded to an SSD.

3.) I'm not sure why this is... but I assume that it's because my laptop is brand new... the bios preloaded is a higher version number than the one offered online as the most up to date version. Has anyone else experienced this?

Other than these few small issues, the laptop is amazing! I was almost turned away by bad screen reviews, but the screen is good for a sysadmin to do some server work in ssh shells

I'll update this post if any other issues arise.

 

Note that the BIOS updater program isn't the update itself but checks if there is a newer version and will then install it if you agree.

ghost1one: Please share your experience if you have tried updated BIOS

 

This I know, I'm an IT professional

The update that the software suggests is the latest bios is older than that installed on my notebook. This struck me as odd.

I won't try to install it, as it's probably either buggy or will fudge my system up.

 

I agree it's anomalous if the BIOS updater is offering an older BIOS than is installed. Perhaps someone forgot to update the database. I would pass the question to Samsung support and see what sort of answer they provide.
