    Hi guys, do all samsung series 7 chronos laptops from Amazon have one year official samsung International warranty?

    I can opt for the i7 quadcore 1terabyte 8gb ram model from amazon for $1000 which I can get by mid June

    or

    I can get a local unit right now with i5 dual core 750 gb 6gb ram model from a dealer with official samsung warranty for the same price.

    It's actually a matter of time and specs, I'm leaning to import one from amazon but am worried about issues out of the box. Also, do all new units come with the intel wifi card?

    If you want to get this in Mid June, then you will have many new options ;)

    As far as I know, warranty is offered by Samsung & it's 1 year.

    What's the difference between

    NP700Z5A-S03US and NP700Z5A-S0AUS

    Amazon lists the latter as being newer, I just want to make sure I get the one with the intel wifi card. :)

    Both of them has the Intel wifi. I would get the S0AUS because it gets more better components.

    Yes, NP700Z5A-S0AUS is the latest one & some flaws were fixed in it.
