Costly mistake for the retailer...

Hey all, as some of you might know i've been looking at getting a portable laptop for working on. I didn't want a netbook, nor did I want anything too big. I was looking at 12-14" but I wanted dedicated graphics in as well.

Anyway I happened to be passing a large high street chain when I thought i'd pop in and take a look.

I saw they had a Samsung Q210 on the shelf, however the specs listed it as having Intel Integrated graphics. I was just about to walk away when I spotted a dubious looking "nVidia" sticker on the case.

Having a gander in the control panel, I found that it wasn't Intel graphics, but instead the 9200M GS version with 256MB GDDR3!

The best part? It was priced like the Intel version (I think in error). So I got me a brand new Q210 with 9200M GS 256MB for under £500!

Chuffed to bits really. It's a lovely laptop.

I'm not really sure - it came up at the till at a much bigger price, but after pointing out the price on the shelf the sales assistant took it off.

Also they scanned the barcode on the box so it's certainly the correct model.

Was just a smidge under £485 all in, it's "only" got the 2GHz 2MB C2D and 2GB DDR2 but I know it's upgradable.
