The Samsung will give you better performance since the GT 540M is much faster than the GT 525M, the difference between the i7 and the i5 will be negligble for gaming...

Firstly remove the pcworld links dude before you get in trouble, not allowed competitors links.

Secondly take a look at the Dell outlet you can get a XPS L502x with both the i7 and 540GTM, better speakers, bigger HDD, better screen so around the same price Looking to get one myself as soon as I find a grad job cracking machine.

They come and go just check around ever day, people say they re stock around 3:15 so if your near a computer at that time give it a go. Normally in high demand so the good ones go fast.

If your not in a rush you can get something better than both of those from the dell outlet. Ive been going there for a few years and have to say these laptops are just great, come brand new and the savings are crazy.

Well right now theres a lot of Laptops with i7 and gt540 with 4-8gb ram, normal its not to bad to find what u want, maybe have to be a bit patient for the exact one u want.
