FTG Writes: Someone would be hard pressed if the first thing they noticed about the Samsung Series 7 Gamer was not its immense size. The frame measures 16.1 inches wide, 11.2 inches depth and has a thickness that ranges from 1.29 in the front to 1.96 inches in the rear. All this and its hefty 8.39lbs (11lbs with power brick) adds up to a laptop that tests the meaning of portable, but uses its size to hold a lot of functions and features that make it worth lugging around. 4.5/5
In come cases it was worse even, but the most important part is that the OS is still fresh so with things should be better.
As for this laptop it's overpriced just like the NP-700Z7C.
Alienware M17xR4...if you really want a good gaming laptop.
I only reviewed the Windows 7 model so couldn't get any benchmarks and didn't feel comfortable saying how the Win8 model would run one way or another.
