Just thought I would post this about the Samsung R780. Such a great and reasonably priced gaming laptop, really packs a punch. Installed quiet a few games on it and it has not let me down so far. GTA IV (all addons) ARMA II: BAF - COD WaW Zombies - Flashpoint DR - Mafia II.


GTA IV on the laptop Mobile Gaming Samsung R780. And I'm holding the phone to record this, which is why the one handed drivings not great!

Looks great, glad to hear it runs games fine.

I just ordered a Lenovo Y460 which packs a similar punch, 5650 Mobility Radeon, i5 540M, same memory and HDD. Hopefully will handle games just fine!

No BR drive but I never use them so not an issue :)

Does your Samsung have switch-able graphics (Optimus) or is it permanent discrete with the 330M?
 
Nice one, looks a good one, hope you have OC'ing fun with her.

No, the R780's GPU is stuck in place, but I change my lappy every year/year.5 or so.

Just took the GT 330M core to 710Mhz Stable. – 7877 Benchmarks on 3DMark06

Stock @ 7150
1st OC @ 7464
2nd OC @ 7877

Will get this @ 8000 stable.
 
Sickboy what did you pay for this? I'm thinking about getting a laptop atm, MSI GX740 is looking good at the moment but would rather not spend more than £600 if I can help it.

Sin_Chase, what did you pay for the Y460?

I paid £800 which was a great price, as I think they're selling from £800 to 900+

But I think some places you can still pick them up for the £800 mark.

At the current exchange rate (I'm in Thailand) ~ £610 for the 5650, 500GB, i5 model.
